How a job in Limavady works
Survey and loads
We calculate loads zone by zone and check roof or plant space, risers and ceiling voids. For sites in Limavady 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 Limavady
Plant space
Outdoor units need clear air flow, structural support and safe access for servicing.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
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.
Who we work with in Limavady
- 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 Northern Ireland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
