Before you book in Clacton-on-Sea
Outdoor unit position
Outdoor units need air flow and access, and should be away from neighbours' windows to keep noise down.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Clacton-on-Sea are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Clacton-on-Sea often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.

Single split or multi-split?

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.
