Points to plan for in Dumfries and Galloway
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.
Legal leak checks
Systems at or above 5 tonnes CO2e need checks at least every 12 months; 50 tonnes and above, every 6 months (longer intervals apply where automatic leak detection is fitted).
Leased premises
If your Dumfries and Galloway 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.
Premises we work in around Dumfries and Galloway
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.

- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.

In Scotland, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more also need a periodic energy inspection.
