Before you book in Swadlincote
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.
Working hours
Most Swadlincote businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Outdoor unit position
Outdoor units need air flow and access, and should be away from neighbours' windows to keep noise down.
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.
Typical premises in Swadlincote
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Salons and spas: comfortable salons and treatment rooms despite dryers, lamps and steam.
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).
