When it comes to commercial HVAC systems, few components are as large, complex, or sensitive as air conditioning chiller units. These systems are essential for regulating temperature in office blocks, hospitals, factories and public buildings across London. But when they reach the end of their life or are due for an upgrade, proper air con chiller unit removal in London becomes a critical task, and not one to be handled lightly.
At London Surrey Metal Recycling, we specialise in safe, efficient and fully compliant removal of commercial cooling systems. Here’s why professional removal isn’t just advisable, it’s essential.
Commercial chiller units are large-scale systems that often weigh several tonnes. They contain refrigerants, pressurised components, and electrical connections that must be carefully decommissioned before removal. Mishandling these systems can result in leaks, injuries, or costly damage to surrounding infrastructure.
Our experienced team is trained to manage the risks associated with these systems, ensuring full disconnection, containment of gases, and safe removal without disruption to your building or staff.
Refrigerants used in older chillers, such as R22, are regulated substances under UK law. Improper disposal of these substances can result in environmental harm, and serious legal consequences for building owners or contractors.
Choosing a professional air con chiller unit removal service in London ensures all materials are handled according to FGas regulations, Hazardous Waste Directives, and other environmental standards. We ensure full compliance, so you’re not exposed to liability.
Once a unit is removed, the job isn’t over. Dismantling and recycling chiller components must be handled with care. These systems contain valuable metals such as copper and steel, along with parts that require specialist processing.
At London Surrey Metal Recycling, we focus on environmentally responsible recycling. We break down units on-site or off-site depending on access and size, safely recovering recyclable materials and disposing of non-recyclables in accordance with UK waste standards.
For many commercial sites in London, time is money. Delays or improper removal can interfere with operations, especially if new systems need to be installed straight after removal.
Our team works with building managers, contractors, and engineers to schedule removals at convenient times, including weekends or after-hours, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily operations.
Whether you’re managing a commercial property, hospital, retail space or industrial facility, proper documentation matters. We provide full records of the removal, including waste transfer notes and certificates of destruction or recycling. This ensures complete transparency and can be essential for audits or environmental reporting.
