The visit, step by step
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.
Before you book in Newry
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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Newry 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.
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
Leased premises
If your Newry 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.

Which systems need F-gas leak checks in Northern Ireland?
Northern Ireland follows the EU F-gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573. 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.
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.
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.
