REFCOM F-Gas Certification

Air Conditioning, Refrigerant Safety, Environmental Protection

For our HVAC and refrigeration divisions, REFCOM F-Gas certification is a legal and environmental necessity. It is the UK’s leading register of companies competent to handle fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-Gases), which are used in air conditioning and refrigeration systems.

Because F-Gases can contribute significantly to global warming if allowed to leak, the law is incredibly strict about who can handle them. Being REFCOM-certified means that HF and our engineers have been rigorously assessed to ensure we have the tools, the knowledge, and the procedures to prevent leaks, recover gas safely, and maintain systems for peak efficiency.

Why REFCOM is Critical for Facility Managers:

Legal Mandatory Compliance: It is a criminal offense for an uncertified company to carry out work on systems containing F-Gases. Partnering with HF protects you from heavy fines and legal action.
System Longevity: Properly managed refrigerant levels mean your AC units don’t have to work as hard, reducing wear and tear and extending the lifespan of your equipment.
Safety & Performance: Certified technicians ensure that your cooling and heating systems are operating at maximum thermal efficiency, keeping energy costs down and comfort levels high.
