How a visit in Dundee works
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.
Things to check in Dundee
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Dundee are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Operator duty
The legal duty sits with the operator — the person or business with actual control over the equipment.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Premises we work in around Dundee
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.
