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 Swansea
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
Working hours
Most Swansea businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
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.
Typical premises in Swansea
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
Compliance in Wales: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
