How a visit in Belfast works

  1. Check the threshold

    We work out the effective rated output of the systems you control and whether they count together under the rules for your nation.

  2. Prepare

    Make, model, capacity, refrigerant and maintenance records are gathered for the assessor.

  3. Inspect

    The accredited assessor inspects the systems and controls on site.

  4. Act on the report

    You receive the report; we can quote for the recommended improvements.

Points to plan for in Belfast

Northern Ireland

Systems over 12 kW must be inspected by an accredited energy assessor within five years of installation and then every five years, with the report lodged on the register; the penalty is £300.

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.

Not an F-gas check

A TM44 inspection is about energy efficiency. It does not replace F-gas leak checks or servicing.

Access and parking

Town-centre jobs in Belfast often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.

Types of premises we cover in Belfast

Two rules matter for most businesses in Northern Ireland: EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.
