Points to plan for in Farnborough
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
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.
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Leased premises
If your Farnborough 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.
