SJH Mechanical helps businesses stay compliant with the latest F-Gas regulations. Many commercial refrigeration, air conditioning, and heat pump systems use hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), a type of fluorinated greenhouse gas. Our certified engineers ensure your equipment is managed, serviced, and maintained in line with current legislation.
If your business is involved in recovering, handling, installing, supplying, manufacturing, servicing, maintaining, or operating equipment containing HFC refrigerants in stationary systems, you are legally required to hold F-Gas qualification and certification in line with EU and UK legislation.
An F-Gas qualification ensures refrigeration and air conditioning engineers can legally work with fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-Gases). These regulations, overseen by DEFRA and the F-Gas Register, support compliance with environmental objectives set out in the Kyoto Protocol. Organizations that operate, install, service, or maintain equipment containing F-Gas must meet strict standards.
SJH Mechanical holds Refcom Elite F-Gas certification and membership in the governing body, meaning our team is independently audited and fully authorised to provide solutions for every aspect of F-Gas compliance.
Our refrigeration division supports your business with:
- Professional installation, commissioning, decommissioning, and maintenance of refrigerant systems
