Local points to consider
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
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.
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Northolt are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
