Legal Requirements
What is F Gas?
Recent EU legislation means that these gases must be limited in use. The release of F gases into the atmosphere is now strictly controlled in order to safeguard the environment. Should air conditioning equipment contain 3kg of an F gas or more, legally, the owner must arrange inspections at least once a year. If the equipment contains 30kg of an F gas or more, quarterly inspections will be necessary.
We are accredited and approved by REFCOM to test F gas equipment. We can also arrange F gas checks as part of your Planned Maintenance Contract with us.
What is VRV or VRF?
The volume or flow rate of refrigerant is accurately matched to the required heating or cooling loads thereby saving energy and providing more accurate control.
In short, they are probably the best systems currently available for mid to large applications.
