10+ Years Experience
What you get
What the health check covers
One of our own F-Gas certified engineers visits your site. You receive a full written report after every health check — suitable for your insurer, CQC records, or Ofsted documentation.
01
System Performance Check
Full assessment of how your system is running — efficiency, output, and any signs of wear or deterioration.
02
F-Gas compliance status
We confirm whether your F-Gas compliance records are current and whether refrigerant levels are within legal limits.
03
Filter & coil inspection
Blocked filters and dirty coils are the most common cause of reduced performance and higher energy bills.
04
Controls & calibration
Thermostat accuracy, sensor readings, and control system checks to confirm everything is operating correctly.
05
Electrical safety check
Visual inspection of electrical connections, wiring, and safety cut-outs within the HVAC units.
06
Written report
A clear, dated written report of all findings and recommendations — suitable for CQC, Ofsted, or insurer records.
Who it’s for
Particularly valuable if you manage…
Our health check is designed for building owners and operators who have inherited an HVAC system — particularly in compliance-sensitive environments.
Schools & Academies
Including Multi-Academy Trusts
Care Homes & Healthcare
CQC-regulated environments
Know your obligations
What transfers to you at handover
When a system is installed and the contractor leaves, these legal responsibilities become yours. Our health check confirms where you stand on every one of them.
F-Gas Regulation (UK) 2024
Refrigerant compliance checks
Any system containing fluorinated refrigerants must be checked by an F-Gas certified engineer at set intervals. This duty sits with the building owner from the moment of handover — not the installer.
Penalty: unlimited fine + mandatory system shutdown
Energy Performance of Buildings Regs
TM44 energy inspections
Commercial air conditioning over 12kW must be inspected by an accredited energy assessor every 5 years. Most building owners are unaware this obligation exists until they receive a penalty notice.
Penalty: £300 per system, per breach
HSE L8 / ACOP
Legionella duty of care
Where HVAC systems include cooling towers or evaporative condensers, a documented Legionella risk assessment and control scheme is a legal requirement — particularly critical in care homes.
Penalty: criminal liability, HSE prosecution
Building Regulations Part F / DfE Guidance
Ventilation & indoor air quality
Schools have specific obligations around ventilation performance and CO₂ levels. Post-pandemic DfE guidance has increased scrutiny, and inspectors may request evidence of maintained ventilation systems.
Risk: Ofsted & DfE scrutiny, insurance requirements
