Air Conditioning Commissioning Service

Professional commissioning for DIY installations, electricians, builders, developers and trade installers.

Have you installed your own split or multi-split air conditioning system?

 

Perhaps you're an electrician, plumber, builder or developer who has completed the installation but requires an F-Gas certified engineer to carry out the final refrigeration commissioning report.

 

We provide a professional commissioning service for eligible installations, completing the specialist refrigeration procedures required before the system is placed into service.

 

Our process includes pre-assessment, professional testing, documented commissioning and clear communication throughout.

Who

Who Is This Service Designed For?

Our Air Conditioning Commissioning Report has been developed for customers who can complete the installation but require an experienced refrigeration engineer to carry out the final F-Gas commissioning.

Whether you're installing a single system at home or multiple systems on a development, we can support you.

​

DIY Homeowners

Installed your own air conditioning?

Once your installation is complete, we can carry out the professional refrigeration commissioning required before the system is operated.

 

Electricians

Many electricians are comfortable installing equipment, power supplies and isolators but require an F-Gas engineer for the refrigeration commissioning.

We're happy to become your commissioning partner.

 

Plumbers & Heating Engineers

Expanding into air conditioning?

We provide independent commissioning services, allowing you to complete projects without employing an in-house refrigeration engineer.

 

Builders & Developers

Installing air conditioning during renovations or new-build developments?

We can provide reliable commissioning for completed installations, whether it's one property or an entire development.

 

Facilities & Commercial Contractors

Office refurbishments, retail units, workshops, hospitality and commercial premises all benefit from independent commissioning carried out by experienced F-Gas engineers.

What's Included?

Every commissioning visit is carried out using professional refrigeration equipment.

Depending on the system installed, our service includes:

  • Nitrogen pressure testing

  • Pressure monitoring

  • Deep vacuum evacuation

  • Vacuum hold testing

  • Refrigerant commissioning

  • Operational performance checks

  • Recorded commissioning results

  • Air Conditioning Commissioning Report

Every installation is assessed individually before acceptance.

Why Professional Commissioning Matters

Modern air conditioning systems rely on correct refrigeration commissioning to ensure they operate safely and efficiently.

​

Professional commissioning helps confirm that the refrigerant circuit has been pressure tested and evacuated before the refrigerant charge is placed into service.

​

Where F-Gas regulations apply, refrigeration work involving refrigerant handling should be carried out by appropriately qualified and certified personnel in accordance with applicable regulations and manufacturer requirements.
