What to think about in Barking
England and Wales
Under the Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012, systems over 12 kW need inspecting at least every five years by an accredited assessor, with the report lodged on the national register. Local Trading Standards enforce it, with a £300 penalty for not having a valid report.
Leased premises
If your Barking 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.
Not an F-gas check
A TM44 inspection is about energy efficiency. It does not replace F-gas leak checks or servicing.
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.
Who we work with in Barking
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
