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 West Bromwich 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.
Before you book in West Bromwich
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 West Bromwich 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.
Plant space
Outdoor units need clear air flow, structural support and safe access for servicing.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around West Bromwich are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Premises we work in around West Bromwich
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.

In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
