1. Initial Site Survey & Heat Load Assessment
Our process begins with an on-site visit to evaluate your
property's specifics and understand your unique cooling
needs.
1 Detailed heat load calculation using industry
standards like CIBSE Guide A.
2 Assessment of insulation, glazing, occupancy, and
solar gain factors.
3 Verification of existing electrical supply capacity
for compatibility.
4 Confirmation of optimal outdoor unit placement for
airflow and noise limits.
2. System Design & Equipment Specification
AC Type & Capacity Selection High-Efficiency Units Optimised Refrigerant Lines
We select the most appropriate AC Only high-efficiency units with Refrigerant line runs are designed

3. Pre-Installation: Permits & Site Preparation
Permit Acquisition
We obtain all necessary planning permissions from the local council
before work begins.
Thorough Site Checks
Pre-checks include wall integrity, ceiling space, and power availability.
Health & Safety First
Rigorous health and safety measures are implemented, including PPE
and risk assessments.
Property Protection
Client property is protected with dust sheets, and the work area is kept clear.
Refrigerant Compatibility
We confirm refrigerant type compatibility (e.g., R32, R410A) for seamless integration.
4. Outdoor Unit Installation (Condenser)
Secure Mounting
The outdoor unit is securely mounted on level, vibration-dampening pads.
Clearance Maintenance
Minimum clearances (e.g., 30cm from walls, 100cm from obstacles) are maintained for optimal operation.
Power Connection
Main power is connected to the outdoor unit via a dedicated isolator switch.
Communication Cabling
The electrical communication cable connects the indoor and outdoor units.
Condensate Discharge
Proper condensate discharge ensures water flows away from building foundations.
5. Indoor Unit & Refrigerant Line Installation
Indoor Unit Mounting
Indoor units (evaporators) are mounted securely and perfectly level.
Wall Penetrations & Sealing
Precise wall penetrations are created (e.g., 65mm core drill) and sealed.
Refrigerant Line Routing
Insulated copper refrigerant lines (suction and liquid) are routed efficiently.
Nitrogen Purge Brazing
Pipe joints are brazed using a nitrogen purge to prevent oxidation and ensure clean lines.
Pressure Testing
Lines are pressure tested with oxygen-free nitrogen (e.g., 400psi for 24 hours) for integrity.
Deep Vacuum Evacuation
Lines are evacuated to a deep vacuum (below 500 microns) to remove moisture and contaminants.
