Covering Carrickfergus and nearby
In Carrickfergus, typical premises are high-street shops, offices above them, surgeries, salons and local industrial units. Belfast is about 15 km away.
That includes premises in BT38 and the surrounding districts. We also cover Newtownabbey, Bangor, County Down and Larne, all within easy reach of Carrickfergus. Buildings across County Antrim range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

Things to check in Carrickfergus
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Leased premises
If your Carrickfergus 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.
Monitoring
A temperature alarm costs little compared to the equipment it protects.
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.

Compliance in Northern Ireland: refrigerant work falls under EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
