How we handle F-gas leak checks in Christchurch
Asset check
We record each system's refrigerant type and charge and calculate its CO2e.
Set the frequency

Check
The engineer checks joints, valves, components and operating data for signs of leakage.
Record
Results are recorded and kept on your F-gas log for at least five years.
What to think about in Christchurch
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Christchurch often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
Working hours
Most Christchurch businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
