How it works in Hindley
Survey and loads
We calculate loads zone by zone and check roof or plant space, risers and ceiling voids.
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. In Hindley we agree timings around your opening hours.
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.
Things to check in Hindley
Plant space
Outdoor units need clear air flow, structural support and safe access for servicing.
Working hours
Most Hindley businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Phasing
In occupied buildings we plan the work floor by floor so the business keeps running.
Leased premises
If your Hindley 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 Hindley
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
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).

Which postcodes do you cover in Hindley?
All of them, including WN2. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
What is heat recovery VRF?
A version that can cool some zones and heat others at the same time, moving heat around the building instead of dumping it outside.
Does a VRF system need F-gas leak checks?
Usually yes. Most VRF systems hold enough refrigerant to exceed 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent, which triggers at least annual leak checks and record keeping.
