Leading air conditioning manufacturer LG Electronics worked with Bristol based contractor Sugoi Solutions to fulfil a contract LG won from B&Q for an R22 refrigerant replacement programme.

The programme saw air conditioning equipment in more than 250 stores across the country replaced with new equipment that meets the ‘F’ Gas regulations.

B&Q now have fully compliant air conditioning systems in all their ‘back of house’ store areas – the staff areas and administrative offices. For each branch Sugoi has provided a list of the replacement units, a signed permission to undertake the work, a risk assessment, a health and safety assessment, an F Gas Logo Sheet, pressure test sheet, evacuation test sheet, a commissioning record sheet and photography of each unit, internal and external before and after, so B&Q has a photographic record of every one of the more than 1000 LG air conditioning systems installed in their stores.

It’s been the most comprehensive package of information Sugoi have ever provided as part of a replacement equipment contract: The Company attended all the sites and organised access to the air conditioning systems, organised for the safe disposal of the R22 refrigerant in each case, sorted the removal and disposal of the existing kit and reinstalled like for like equipment.

This is the biggest single contract Sugoi have ever undertaken and they’re very proud of the outcome. The company say LG equipment was excellent to work with and the support they have had from LG has been first class.
