Local points to consider
Condensate
Blocked trays are a common cause of ceiling stains; regular cleaning prevents them.
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.
EC motors
Upgrading old motors to EC motors reduces electricity use and noise.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Exeter often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.

- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
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).
