Points to plan for in Burgess Hill

Legal recovery

Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.

Shared buildings

In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.

Records

Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.

Neighbours and noise

Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.

Types of premises we cover in Burgess Hill

  • Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
  • Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
  • Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
  • Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
