Regulated works involving refrigerants are assessed and referred to certified partners where applicable. All inspections are carried out by Rafa directly.

Thermal imaging

See exactly where heat and cool air escape.

Before recommending any system, Rafa can carry out a thermal imaging survey of your property — a heatmap that shows precisely where conditioned air is being lost and where outside heat is getting in.

  • Pinpoints heat gain through roofs, glazing and walls
  • Reveals air leakage around doors, windows and ducting
  • Identifies underperforming or wrongly-sized units
  • Targets cooling where it's needed — lower bills, even comfort
