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.
Points to plan for in Coleraine
Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland follows the EU F-gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573 rather than the GB rules. For HFC systems the leak-check thresholds and intervals are the same; it also requires checks on equipment holding 1 kg or more of certain other fluorinated gases, such as HFO refrigerants.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
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 Coleraine 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.
Who we work with in Coleraine
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
Compliance in Northern Ireland: refrigerant work falls under EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Which systems need F-gas leak checks in Northern Ireland?
Northern Ireland follows the EU F-gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573. For HFC systems the thresholds and intervals match the GB rules — checks from 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent, at least every 12, 6 or 3 months depending on size — and equipment holding 1 kg or more of certain other fluorinated gases, such as HFO refrigerants, also needs checks.
Who is responsible for F-gas compliance?
The operator of the equipment — normally the business with control over it. Contractors do the checks; the operator must make sure they happen and keep records.
What is CO2 equivalent?
The refrigerant charge in kilograms multiplied by its global warming potential (GWP), divided by 1,000. It puts every refrigerant on the same scale.
