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.
What to think about in Rothesay
Pipe routes
Shorter, simpler pipe routes are cheaper and more reliable. We plan routes before quoting.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Outdoor unit position
Outdoor units need air flow and access, and should be away from neighbours' windows to keep noise down.
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.
