How long does the installation take in Derry/Londonderry?

Removal half a day. We confirm the timing, and any days with no cooling or heating, in your written quote.

Who carries out the work in Derry/Londonderry?

Is it worth replacing an old system that still works?

If it is R22 or very old, yes, plan a replacement before it fails, because any leak will end it. Newer systems are also far more efficient.
