Things to check in Abingdon
Refrigerant rules
Since 1 January 2025, new single split systems holding under 3 kg of refrigerant in Great Britain cannot use refrigerant with a GWP of 750 or more — in practice, R32 or lower.
Working hours
Most Abingdon businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
One outdoor unit, many rooms
Multi-splits save wall space but share a single compressor. For server rooms or critical spaces we recommend dedicated systems.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Abingdon
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
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.
