How much does air conditioning removal cost in Shropshire?

Air conditioning decommissioning is the safe shutdown and removal of a system: the refrigerant is recovered into certified cylinders by an F-gas certified engineer, pipework is made safe, the units are removed and disposed of as waste electrical equipment, and the paperwork is provided for your records.

Keep the recovery and waste paperwork with your F-gas records.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Shropshire are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Dilapidations
Agree with your landlord what must be removed and what can stay.
Leased premises
If your Shropshire 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.
Premises we work in around Shropshire
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.

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).

Sometimes, if they are in good condition and suit the new space. We assess before recovery.
