The steps for a project in Tyne and Wear

Unit, ductwork, terminals and controls are fitted.
Balance
Supply and extract air flows are balanced and commissioned.
Local points to consider
Space
Units need space in the ceiling void or a plant area with access for filter changes.
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.
Filters
Filters must be changed regularly to keep air flow and air quality up.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Tyne and Wear 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.
Typical premises in Tyne and Wear
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.

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.
