How we handle F-gas leak checks in Lossiemouth
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.
What to think about in Lossiemouth
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 Lossiemouth 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.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Lossiemouth 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 Lossiemouth
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
