Before you book in Harrow
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.
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Harrow are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
