The steps for a project in Sandown
Survey
We size the unit to the room and agree indoor and outdoor positions and the pipe route. For sites in Sandown we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
Test and commission
Pressure test, evacuation, any extra refrigerant charge, then commissioning and handover.
Points to plan for in Sandown
Pipe routes
Shorter, simpler pipe routes are cheaper and more reliable. We plan routes before quoting.
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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Sandown are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.

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.
