What happens on a visit in Derbyshire
Asset check
We record each system's refrigerant type and charge and calculate its CO2e.
Set the frequency
Each system gets the legal interval for its CO2e and any automatic leak detection.
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.
Local points to consider
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 Derbyshire are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
Working hours
Most Derbyshire businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Typical premises in Derbyshire
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

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.
