TM44 Air Conditioning Energy Assessments
TM44 air conditioning energy assessments are a statutory requirement in England and Wales for all air conditioning systems with a total effective rated output of more than 12 kW. These inspections must be carried out by an accredited assessor at least every five years. The purpose is to assess the energy efficiency of the system and provide recommendations for improvements.
Our REFCOM-certified assessors are qualified to conduct TM44 inspections, evaluating the current efficiency of your air conditioning systems and identifying opportunities for energy savings. A comprehensive report will be issued, outlining the findings and suggesting cost-effective measures to optimise your system's performance and reduce operational costs. This helps businesses comply with legislation and contributes to a lower carbon footprint.
Failing to conduct a TM44 inspection when required can lead to penalties, making proactive compliance essential for all eligible businesses.
Benefits of Regular AC Inspections
Routine inspections go beyond statutory requirements, offering a multitude of benefits for your air conditioning systems and business operations. They are a proactive measure that can prevent costly breakdowns and ensure continuous comfortable environments.
Beyond compliance, regular inspections help to identify minor issues before they develop into major faults, reducing the likelihood of unexpected downtime. They also play a significant role in maintaining optimal energy efficiency, extending the lifespan of your equipment, and ensuring good air quality within your premises. A well-maintained system operates more quietly and effectively, contributing to a better working or commercial environment.

Our Comprehensive Inspection Process
Our air conditioning inspection process is designed to be thorough and minimise disruption to your business. Our experienced engineers meticulously check every critical component of your AC system, employing best practices to ensure a complete assessment. We cover all types of commercial and industrial air conditioning equipment.
The inspection typically includes a visual examination of units, assessment of refrigerant levels and leaks, checking electrical connections, testing controls and safety devices, and evaluating overall system performance. We also inspect filters, coils, condensate drains, and fan motors to ensure they are operating correctly and efficiently. Any identified issues or areas for improvement are documented.
Following the inspection, we provide a detailed report outlining the condition of your systems, any findings, and clear recommendations for maintenance, repair, or efficiency improvements. Our goal is to empower you with the information needed to make informed decisions about your air conditioning infrastructure.
When to Schedule an Inspection
The frequency of air conditioning inspections can depend on several factors, including the type of system, its usage intensity, and regulatory requirements. For systems over 12 kW effective rated output, a TM44 assessment is legally required every five years. However, for optimum performance and longevity, more frequent checks are often advisable.
Beyond statutory obligations, we recommend scheduling an inspection if you notice any changes in system performance, such as reduced cooling capacity, unusual noises, unpleasant odours, or unexpected increases in energy bills. Proactive inspections, ideally annually or bi-annually, can help identify minor issues before they escalate into major breakdowns, saving you time and money in the long run. We also offer emergency callouts for urgent issues.

Frequently asked questions
What is an air conditioning inspection?
An air conditioning inspection is a systematic assessment of your AC system's performance, efficiency, and compliance. It involves checking components, refrigerant levels, controls, and overall operation to identify any issues and provide recommendations for improvement or repair. This can include statutory TM44 energy assessments.
Is an air conditioning inspection mandatory?
Yes, for air conditioning systems with an effective rated output of more than 12 kW, a TM44 Air Conditioning Energy Assessment is legally mandatory every five years in England and Wales. Regular, non-statutory inspections are also highly recommended for optimal system health and efficiency.
How long does an AC inspection take?
The duration of an AC inspection varies depending on the size, complexity, and number of units in your system. A standard inspection for a small to medium-sized commercial system might take a few hours, while larger or more complex installations could require more time. We aim to complete inspections efficiently with minimal disruption.
What happens after an air conditioning inspection?
Following the inspection, our engineer will provide you with a comprehensive report detailing the condition of your air conditioning system. This report will include any identified faults, recommendations for maintenance, repairs, or efficiency upgrades, and for TM44 assessments, it will outline energy performance. We can then discuss the next steps with you.
How often should I have my air conditioning inspected?
While statutory TM44 inspections are required every five years for systems over 12 kW, we recommend more frequent non-statutory inspections, ideally annually or bi-annually. This proactive approach helps to maintain peak performance, extend equipment lifespan, prevent costly breakdowns, and ensure energy efficiency.
