Important Information for Buyers: Requirements for Safe Air Conditioning Installation in the UK.

Before making your purchase, please be aware of the following requirements:

Installation and maintenance must be performed by technicians who hold F-Gas certification. This certification, required by EU Regulation 517/2014 and UK law, ensures that refrigerants are handled responsibly and safely.

Installers need to have appropriate electrical qualifications. Recognition from bodies such as the National Inspection Council for Electrical Installation Contracting (NICEIC) ensures that the electrical work involved in the installation is carried out competently.

4. Manufacturer Training and Certification
It is advisable to choose installers who have undergone specific training and certification programs offered by air conditioning manufacturers. This ensures they are well-versed in the unique requirements and procedures for different units.

5. Health and Safety Compliance
Compliance with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidelines is essential. This includes conducting risk assessments and following safe working practices to ensure a secure installation environment for everyone involved. For any questions or further information, please contact us.
