How a visit in Hampshire 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.
Points to plan for in Hampshire
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 Hampshire 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.
Leased premises
If your Hampshire premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
