Air conditioning decommissioning is the safe shutdown and removal of a system: the refrigerant is recovered into certified cylinders by an F-gas certified engineer, pipework is made safe, the units are removed and disposed of as waste electrical equipment, and the paperwork is provided for your records.

What to think about in Cambridgeshire
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Leased premises
If your Cambridgeshire premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
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.
Premises we work in around Cambridgeshire
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.

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.
