The steps for a project in Lincoln
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 Lincoln 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 Lincoln
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.
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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Lincoln are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Types of premises we cover in Lincoln
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.

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.
