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.
Points to plan for in Paignton
Outdoor unit position
Outdoor units need air flow and access, and should be away from neighbours' windows to keep noise down.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
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 Paignton 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.

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.
