Things to check in Bolton
Record keeping
Operators must keep F-gas records for equipment above the threshold. A contract keeps these complete.
Working hours
Most Bolton businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Budgeting
A fixed annual cost and early warning of units nearing end of life.
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.
