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. In Horwich we agree timings around your opening hours.

Pressure test, evacuation, any extra refrigerant charge, then commissioning and handover.
Local points to consider
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 Horwich are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Who we work with in Horwich

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.

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.
Can a split system heat in winter?
Yes. Modern split systems are heat pumps and can heat efficiently down to well below freezing.
