How a visit in Chesterfield works
Survey
We confirm what is to be removed and any making-good required.
Isolate and recover
Power is isolated and refrigerant recovered and weighed.
Remove
Units, pipework and fixings are removed as agreed.
Paperwork
You get recovery records and waste transfer documentation.
Local points to consider
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
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 Chesterfield

Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
