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. We keep work areas in Portslade screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Test and commission
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.
Working hours
Most Portslade businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.
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.
