TM44 Inspection FAQs

TM44 Air Conditioning Inspections are a mandatory requirement for buildings with air conditioning systems in the UK. These inspections are carried out by accredited energy assessors and are designed to ensure that air conditioning systems are operating efficiently and effectively, reducing energy consumption and costs for building owners and occupants.

The TM44 Inspection is a technical document published by the UK government that sets out the guidelines for air conditioning inspections. It covers the testing and assessment of air conditioning systems with a cooling capacity of more than 12 kW. The goal of TM44 is to reduce energy consumption and improve the efficiency of air conditioning systems, which can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.

TM44 inspections are important for a number of reasons. Firstly, they help to ensure that air conditioning systems are operating safely and efficiently. Secondly, they can help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by identifying and addressing issues that may cause the system to operate inefficiently.

During a TM44 inspection, our accredited energy assessors will visit the building and assess the air conditioning system. This will involve checking the system’s cooling capacity, the condition of the equipment, the controls and the settings. Our assessors will also check for any leaks or other issues that could be causing the system to operate inefficiently.

After the inspection, our assessors will provide a report detailing the findings of the inspection and any recommendations for improvement. This may include suggestions for upgrading equipment or modifying the controls and settings of the system to make it more efficient.

TM44 inspections are a legal requirement in the UK, so it is important for building owners and operators to ensure that their air conditioning systems have been inspected and any necessary improvements have been made. As a building owner in the UK, you could face a fine if you don’t comply.

In the long term, yes! TM44 Air Conditioning Inspections are an essential part of maintaining air conditioning systems in the UK and can help save on energy costs by preventing unwanted or wasted energy usage which is becoming more and more costly in the current climate.
