The steps for a project in Bracknell
Survey and loads
We calculate loads zone by zone and check roof or plant space, risers and ceiling voids. For sites in Bracknell we confirm access and parking beforehand.
System design
Outdoor units, indoor units, branch boxes and pipe sizes are designed together, including the refrigerant charge and any leak detection.
Phased first fix
Pipework and controls cabling go in floor by floor, often out of hours in occupied buildings.
Pressure test and charge
The network is pressure tested, evacuated and charged with the calculated refrigerant quantity.
Commissioning
Each indoor unit is commissioned and the controls set up, with as-fitted drawings and F-gas records handed over.
What to think about in Bracknell
Phasing
In occupied buildings we plan the work floor by floor so the business keeps running.
Working hours
Most Bracknell businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Plant space
Outdoor units need clear air flow, structural support and safe access for servicing.
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.
Who we work with in Bracknell
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
