The steps for a project in Eltham
Survey
We size the unit to the room and agree indoor and outdoor positions and the pipe route.
Mount the units
Indoor unit on a mounting plate, outdoor unit on brackets or a frame with anti-vibration mounts.
Pipe and wire
Pipework, interconnecting cable and condensate are run and made off neatly. We keep work areas in Eltham screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Test and commission
Pressure test, evacuation, any extra refrigerant charge, then commissioning and handover.
Before you book in Eltham
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 Eltham 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.
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 Eltham are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
