From enquiry to handover in Kirkintilloch
Survey and loads
We calculate loads zone by zone and check roof or plant space, risers and ceiling voids. For sites in Kirkintilloch 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.
Things to check in Kirkintilloch
Refrigerant in occupied rooms
Because one network carries a large refrigerant charge, small rooms on the system are checked against the safety limits in BS EN 378 and may need leak detection.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Kirkintilloch often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Phasing
In occupied buildings we plan the work floor by floor so the business keeps running.
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.
Types of premises we cover in Kirkintilloch
- 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.
In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.

Yes. Alongside Kirkintilloch, we also cover Bishopbriggs, Cumbernauld and Bearsden. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Kirkintilloch?
All of them, including G66. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
When is VRF better than separate split systems?
Usually once you need more than about six to eight indoor units, want central control, or are short of space for outdoor units. One outdoor unit can replace many.
What is the difference between VRF and VRV?
None in practice. VRV is one manufacturer's trademark; VRF is the generic name for the same type of system.
