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 Carlisle
Pipe routes
Shorter, simpler pipe routes are cheaper and more reliable. We plan routes before quoting.
Working hours
Most Carlisle businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Outdoor unit position
Outdoor units need air flow and access, and should be away from neighbours' windows to keep noise down.
Leased premises
If your Carlisle 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.

How long does it take to fit?
