There is a now a legal requirement, with effect from April 2007, that all installations and modifications to any energy consuming installation (e.g. air conditioning, heating, electrical or water storage systems) must be approved by the relevant Council's Building Control Department to ensure they provide an energy efficient solution.
This involves producing documentation for their approval before commencing any work and could involve considerable delays to any project. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in a fine and complications if the ownership or lease of the demise is transferred. Any unapproved company must obtain permission before starting work.
Risby Air Conditioning Co Ltd has been audited by and is a member of BESCA Competent Company Scheme (registration number BHV002560). We are therefore approved to self-certify all work carried out and to take complete responsibility for ensuring any work complies with the relevant building regulations. To enable us to keep our self-certification status, we are subject to regular inspections by BESCA to ensure that our high standards are maintained.
