What to think about in Leeds
Legal recovery
Recovery of F-gas refrigerant must be done by certified engineers; venting is an offence.
Working hours
Most Leeds businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Re-use
Equipment that is still serviceable can sometimes be relocated; ask us to assess it.
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.
Premises we work in around Leeds
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
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.
