What is a TM44 Air Conditioning System Inspection?
If you have an air conditioning system with a cooling capacity of 12kW or more in your building, you are legally required to have a valid air conditioning inspection report and a certificate in place.
An inspection of the system should take place every 5-years. If you fail to have your air conditioning inspected, you can receive a fine of £300.
Our thorough air conditioning inspection and reporting service is delivered by our team of accredited energy assessors ensuring you remain compliant with the TM44 guidelines.

- The combined output would include where multiple units within a building are controlled by a single person, so are considered a single air conditioning system

What are the penalties for not having a valid TM44 certificate?
If you do not get your air conditioning inspected every five years, you will be fined a minimum of £300 which can be repeated weekly until you have a valid certificate in place. There will be a further £200 fine every time you fail to provide a copy of the report to an enforcement authority such as a Trading Standard Officer (TSO) within seven days.
