TM44 is the name of the CIBSE (Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers) guidance that sets out how the inspection is done, which is why the inspection, the report and the certificate all get called "a TM44". Several small units that are each under 12 kW still count if together they add up to more than 12 kW.
Simply request your quote using our contact form or by phone. Our customer care team will quickly get in touch during opening hours.
We will arrange an appointment with you, carry out the survey, and once completed send you an invoice.
As soon as we receive payment of the invoice, we will email your TM44 Report. We also offer corporate accounts, with survey delivery on completion and monthly billing.
Effective rated output is the cooling capacity on the units' data plates. All the units in a building controlled by the same person count as one system, so a shop with four 4 kW split units (16 kW in total) needs an inspection even though no single unit is over the limit.
The rules apply in England and Wales. Buildings with 12 kW or less don't need one by law, but an inspection can still flag poor maintenance and ways to cut running costs.
A quick guide to the terms you'll see in a report:
The report covers:
Recommendations may include a suggested maintenance programme, operational changes or even details on a more efficient replacement system.
The potential cost savings from following the advice in the report could easily outweigh its initial cost, in addition to improving your environmental impact rating.
If a Trading Standards officer asks for a copy of your report and you can't provide it within seven days, there's a further £200 penalty.
Following any penalties, it is important to instruct a surveyor to complete your TM44 air conditioning survey to avoid further fines. The enforcement officers routinely check the Government database to see if the reports have been lodged on the register.
TM44 Air Conditioning Survey involves a survey on site, followed by production of the report at the desk. The site survey is in-depth and involves:
It would be beneficial if the facilities or business manager is available during the site survey should the assessor have any questions about the systems locations or operations.
The final TM44 Air Conditioning Report is lodged to the Energy Certificate register.
If you currently don’t have a valid TM44 A/C report but meet the eligibility criteria to need one, then don't panic, having an inspection carried out and report produced now will not trigger any retrospective fines to be issued, but the sooner you have the survey carried out the better as you can accumulate fines until your building becomes compliant.
The basic information we need to be able to provide you with a price for the survey is:
Once we have provided you with a quote, if you wish to go ahead and book we will also need invoicing details and contact details for whoever is allowing access on site. We don't charge up-front, but will invoice you for the work on completion, and release the TM44 report to you upon receipt of payment. Our quote includes lodging the TM44 report on the government register.
After you have booked with us we will contact you or if you prefer an alternative site contact to arrange an appointment. Once we have visited site it takes us about 10 working days to produce the report, at which point we will contact you to let you know its ready and provide you with an invoice. On payment of the invoice we will email your TM44 report.

Our TM44 inspections start from £199.95+VAT. The price depends mainly on how many air conditioning systems and indoor units there are, and on the size and location of the building. Our prices are competitive and every building is quoted on its own merits. Send us the details and we'll come back with a firm figure, and the advice that goes with it.
A TM44 inspection is the legally required energy inspection of a building's air conditioning. An accredited energy assessor checks the systems on site and writes a report on how efficiently they run and how to improve them. It's named after TM44, the CIBSE guidance assessors follow to carry out the inspection.
TM44 is a Technical Memorandum published by CIBSE (the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers), titled Inspection of Air Conditioning Systems. It sets out how the inspection should be done, and the government's guidance on air conditioning inspections draws on it.
Yes, in England and Wales, for any air conditioning system with an effective rated output of more than 12 kW. The requirement comes from the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations. The fine for not having a valid inspection report is £300.
Whoever controls the operation of air conditioning with a total effective rated output of more than 12 kW, usually the building owner, landlord or facilities manager. Units in one building controlled by the same person count as one system, so several small split units can add up to more than 12 kW between them.
At least every five years. For a system first put into service after 1 January 2008, the first inspection must be within five years of that date.
The assessor lists all the air conditioning equipment (splits, VRV systems and air handling units), inspects and photographs a sample of the outdoor plant, indoor units, controls and data plates, checks the F-gas and maintenance records, and links each system to the rooms it serves on a floor plan.
Key findings on how the systems perform, a summary of the building, its hours of use and maintenance, an asset register of the equipment, energy calculations, site photographs, and recommendations for cutting energy use and running costs. The assessor lodges it on the government's energy certificate register.
Arrange access to all plant and roof areas before the appointment, gather any F-gas and maintenance records and existing asset lists, and if you can, have the facilities or building manager on site to answer questions about how the systems are used.
Our TM44 inspections start from £199.95 plus VAT. The price depends mainly on how many air conditioning systems and indoor units the building has, and on its size and location. Every building is quoted on its own merits.
Not by law. A building whose air conditioning totals 12 kW or less doesn't need one, though an inspection can still point out maintenance problems and ways to cut running costs.
Our prices start from £199.95 + VAT, depending on size and location of the property.
