The first step is always a prior visit. We measure the exact copper pipe length between the indoor and outdoor units and check the available space for the outdoor unit and its orientation. We also assess if the electrical board has sufficient capacity for the new equipment's consumption or if the contracted power needs to be increased, and verify community regulations regarding facade installations. 1x1 Splits, 2x1 and 3x1 multi-splits, legal installation with F-Gas certification. Preliminary diagnosis and functional test. Call us, message us on WhatsApp, or request your quote online – we'll reply in under 10 minutes during business hours.

Commercial installations above a certain power rating (typically 70 kW thermal) require industrial registration and a project signed by an engineer. For medium-sized premises below this threshold, a certificate signed by an authorised installer is sufficient. In any case, equipment must have CE marking and comply with European efficiency directives. The F-Gas regulation also applies and mandates the registration of refrigerant charges when they exceed certain kilogram amounts. Commercial equipment operates under much more demanding conditions than domestic units. 12-14 hours of daily operation during peak season, variable thermal loads throughout the day, accumulated dirt from higher air flow. Without proper maintenance, a breakdown during a commercial premises' peak season incurs costs not only for repairs but also for lost revenue from hours or days of service interruption. For the hospitality sector, obtaining an activity licence may require a climate control certificate issued by the installer. When we work with a new premises undergoing the licensing process, we coordinate directly with the municipal technician to ensure the air conditioning paperwork is finalised before the final inspection.

The second detail is the gas charge. The quantity must be exactly as indicated by the manufacturer for the installed copper pipe length. A gram more or less won't be noticeable immediately, but accumulated over 5 years, it results in performance loss. The charge is always done with an electronic precision scale, not estimated by pressure as some quick installers do. Manufacturer's official warranty (3-5 years) plus our 30-day labour coverage. 2-3 hours per standard indoor unit. For multi-splits, add 1-2 hours per extra unit. We use protective materials to avoid making a mess.

The price for a heat pump installation in Collblanc typically ranges between £160 and £1440. The final figure depends on the property's condition, materials, and labour time. We always provide a fixed quote before starting. Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, LG, Toshiba, Hitachi, Panasonic. For rooftop units: Carrier, York, Lennox. Selection based on power, budget, and availability. Professional calculation considers all these factors and correctly sizes the equipment. The price difference between a well-sized and a poorly sized unit may seem significant initially. The end customer who visits the shop or restaurant ultimately pays the real cost. A poorly air-conditioned space loses customers in the summer when the heat becomes unbearable. For the hospitality industry, where customer comfort directly determines turnover, the correct equipment is an investment, not an expense.
