What Is a TM44 Inspection?
TM44 refers to guidance created as part of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive. The TM44 inspection frequency is outlined in the directive. It must be carried out on an air conditioning system every five years. Its main focus is on the performance of the air conditioning system, with a particular emphasis on energy efficiency.
Do I Need a TM44 Inspection?
Landlords, employers, and building owners must have an up-to-date air conditioning inspection report or risk facing a fine. The fine for uninspected sites with air conditioning systems providing an overall output of more than 12kW is a set fee of £300. There is an additional £200 fine upon failure to provide the outstanding report within seven days of request. The TM44 inspection is a report which is widely accepted and considered to be the industry standard for air conditioning inspections.
