How a job in Suffolk works
Survey
We size the unit to the room and agree indoor and outdoor positions and the pipe route.
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. We keep work areas in Suffolk screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Test and commission
Pressure test, evacuation, any extra refrigerant charge, then commissioning and handover.
What to think about in Suffolk
Outdoor unit position
Outdoor units need air flow and access, and should be away from neighbours' windows to keep noise down.
Working hours
Most Suffolk 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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Suffolk are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Who we work with in Suffolk
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Do you also cover Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire?
Yes. Alongside Suffolk, we also cover Norfolk, Essex and Cambridgeshire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
How long does it take to fit?
A single split is usually fitted in a day; a multi-split in one to two days.
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.
