The steps for a project in Balerno
Survey

Mount the units
Indoor unit on a mounting plate, outdoor unit on brackets or a frame with anti-vibration mounts.

Pipework, interconnecting cable and condensate are run and made off neatly.
Test and commission
Pressure test, evacuation, any extra refrigerant charge, then commissioning and handover.
What to think about in Balerno
Pipe routes
Shorter, simpler pipe routes are cheaper and more reliable. We plan routes before quoting.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Balerno are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Outdoor unit position
Outdoor units need air flow and access, and should be away from neighbours' windows to keep noise down.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.

Which postcodes do you cover in Balerno?
All of them, including EH14. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Single split or multi-split?
Separate singles are more resilient and can be cheaper for two rooms; a multi-split saves outdoor space. We price both where it is close.
Does a small split need F-gas leak checks?
It depends on the refrigerant charge and type. Many small R32 splits fall below the 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent threshold for mandatory leak checks, but they still need installing and servicing by F-gas certified engineers.
