Things to check in Shrewsbury
Records
Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Shrewsbury are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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.
Premises we work in around Shrewsbury
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
