Blog on air-conditioning inspections
Articles on F-gas obligations, how a leak check is carried out and what it typically costs - written to make sense to a flat owner and to a company with hundreds of tCO₂eq of refrigerant alike. Verified against Nařízení EU 517/2014 (F-plyny).

- 02 Inspection procedure How refrigerant leak detection is carried out Visual inspection, pressure measurement, electronic leak detection and logging, how a tightness check is performed step by step. →
- 03 Price list Price of air conditioning inspection Leak test from approx. 1 200 Kč. What mainly influences the price and why quotes are provided as ranges rather than fixed figures. →
