How a visit in Newtownards works
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.
Prepare
Make, model, capacity, refrigerant and maintenance records are gathered for the assessor.
Inspect
The accredited assessor inspects the systems and controls on site.
Act on the report
You receive the report; we can quote for the recommended improvements.
Local points to consider
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.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Not an F-gas check
A TM44 inspection is about energy efficiency. It does not replace F-gas leak checks or servicing.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Newtownards are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the council's planning service before work is booked.
Who we work with in Newtownards
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
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.
