Indoor unit on a mounting plate, outdoor unit on brackets or a frame with anti-vibration mounts.

Pressure test, evacuation, any extra refrigerant charge, then commissioning and handover.
Points to plan for in Penicuik
Pipe routes
Shorter, simpler pipe routes are cheaper and more reliable. We plan routes before quoting.
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.
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.
Leased premises
If your Penicuik 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.
Types of premises we cover in Penicuik
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.

- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.

Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
