Local coverage
Gear Bros Ltd works out of the Welshpool area, which puts Welshpool on our doorstep. It is the town we are called to most often and the one where we can usually turn a survey around fastest, because there is no long travel leg attached to the visit.
The work here splits between the high street and the surrounding valley. Broad Street and the town-centre retail units need cooling that does not spoil a shopfront; the industrial and office units on the edge of town need systems sized properly for glazing and equipment load; and the villages around Welshpool bring us a steady run of domestic installations.
Whatever the building, the same engineers do the survey, the install and the servicing. You are not handed from a salesperson to a subcontractor, and the person who commissioned your system is the person who knows it when you ring about it two years later.
Welshpool sits a short run up the A483 from our base, which makes it the quickest town on our list to reach.
Response time is the practical difference between a local contractor and a national one. When a Welshpool pub loses cellar cooling on a Friday afternoon, the question is not who has the glossiest brochure — it is who can be through the door before the beer warms up. From our base that is a short journey, which is why we quote a 1–2 hour emergency response depending on where in the area the job sits.
Familiarity with the building stock matters too. Welshpool's town centre includes older brick and rendered properties, some with restrictions on what can be fixed to the front elevation, alongside modern units on the trading estates. Knowing in advance that a condenser may need to go to the rear, or that pipework has to be routed through a void rather than across a façade, saves a wasted survey.
We also work continuously in the surrounding villages — Guilsfield, Berriew, Buttington and out towards Llanfair Caereinion — so we are used to rural properties with limited three-phase supply, long pipe runs and outbuildings converted into offices or gyms.

High-street retail, small offices, pubs with trade cellars, industrial units on the estates, and period and new-build homes in the surrounding villages.
Wall-mounted splits for shops and salons, cassettes in offices, cellar cooling for pubs, kitchen extract for cafés, and multi-split systems in family homes.
Survey, install, commission and service handled by the same F-Gas certified engineers — with a 3-year labour warranty behind the work.
We also cover Guilsfield, Berriew, Buttington, Llanfair Caereinion, Llansantffraid and the surrounding villages. See all our services or read more about Gear Bros Ltd.

Why us
Our base is a short run from Welshpool, so surveys, repairs and warranty visits do not have to be batched into one trip up the county.
Refrigerant handled legally and logged properly — with up to £1m public liability and RAMS issued on request for commercial sites.
Three years' labour and three years' parts cover as standard, and if you upgrade the manufacturer's warranty we match it with equivalent labour cover.
Air conditioning, ventilation and refrigeration work across commercial and domestic sites — including repairs other contractors had written off as unrepairable.
Local conditions
Welshpool's mix of older town-centre stock, exposed valley sites and rural conversions produces a fairly predictable set of faults. Knowing them in advance is what stops a survey turning into a surprise.
A Welshpool retail unit with a large single-glazed shopfront picks up far more solar gain than its floor area suggests. Systems specified on room size alone run flat out all afternoon, never hit setpoint, and wear their compressors out early.
We calculate heat load from glazing orientation, occupancy and equipment rather than square metres, which usually changes the capacity — and sometimes the system type — from whatever was quoted first.
Older properties around the town centre often cannot take an outdoor unit on the front, either for planning reasons or because there is simply nowhere sensible to put it. That constraint has to be solved at survey stage, not on the morning of the install.
Longer pipe runs to a rear yard or roof position are usually workable, but they affect refrigerant charge and pipe sizing, and they need pricing honestly up front rather than being discovered halfway through the job.
Trade cellars under Welshpool pubs are often poorly insulated and sit next to warm plant. A cooler that copes in April can drift several degrees during a warm weekend, and warm cellars mean fobbing lines, wasted product and complaints at the bar.
Most of the time the fix is a combination of insulation, correct pack sizing and a service regime that keeps the evaporator and condenser clean — not simply a bigger unit.
Converted barns and outbuildings around Guilsfield, Berriew and Llanfair Caereinion frequently have a single-phase supply already close to its limit, and existing consumer units with no spare capacity.
We check the electrical situation at survey stage so the quote reflects the real work involved, including any additional circuit, rather than assuming a spare way is available.
Our process
Tell us the building, the rooms and the problem. We ask enough questions on the first call to know whether it is a survey, a repair visit or an emergency attendance.
We measure the space, check glazing, occupancy and heat-producing equipment, and look at where pipework and condensers can realistically go before anything is quoted.
Free, itemised and returned the same or the next working day depending on the size of the job — kit, labour, electrical work and commissioning, not a rough figure over the phone.
Booked around your trading hours. Floors covered, cores drilled cleanly, refrigerant handled under F-Gas rules, and RAMS issued in advance where a site needs them.
Pressure test, vacuum, gas charge, airflow and temperature checks, then a walk-through of the controls with whoever runs the building day to day.
3-year labour warranty and 3-year parts cover, manufacturer warranty upgrades matched with equivalent labour cover, and a servicing agreement if you want the system kept compliant.
