Local points to consider
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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Cookstown are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the council's planning service before work is booked.
Typical premises in Cookstown
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
Two rules matter for most businesses in Northern Ireland: EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.

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.
How long must records be kept?
For at least five years, covering refrigerant type and quantity, additions and recoveries, leak-check dates and results, and who carried out the work.
How often are leak checks needed?
At least every 12 months from 5 tonnes CO2e, every 6 months from 50 tonnes, and every 3 months from 500 tonnes. Where automatic leak detection is fitted, each interval doubles to 24, 12 and 6 months.
