How a visit in Poole works
Asset check
We record each system's refrigerant type and charge and calculate its CO2e.
Set the frequency

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 Poole
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 Poole are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Certified engineers
Leak checks must be done by an engineer holding the right F-gas certification.
Working hours
Most Poole businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
