Record
Results are recorded and kept on your F-gas log for at least five years.
Before you book in Trowbridge
Repairs
If a leak is found it must be repaired without undue delay and re-checked within one month.
Leased premises
If your Trowbridge 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.
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 Trowbridge
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
Compliance in England: 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).
