Before you book in County Down
Multiple sites
One schedule and one reporting format across all your sites.
Leased premises
If your County Down 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.
Record keeping
Operators must keep F-gas records for equipment above the threshold. A contract keeps these complete.
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 County Down

In Northern Ireland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
