Indoor unit on a mounting plate, outdoor unit on brackets or a frame with anti-vibration mounts.

Test and commission
Pressure test, evacuation, any extra refrigerant charge, then commissioning and handover.
Before you book in Whitehaven
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 Whitehaven are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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.
Leased premises
If your Whitehaven premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
Types of premises we cover in Whitehaven
- Gyms and leisure: high-capacity cooling and fresh air for gym floors, studios and changing rooms.

- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.

Can a split system heat in winter?
Yes. Modern split systems are heat pumps and can heat efficiently down to well below freezing.
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.
