TM44 Air Conditioning
Surveys
Mandatory five-yearly inspections for systems over 12 kW, delivered by CIBSE and RICS accredited inspectors and lodged on the government database — keeping your building fully compliant with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.
TM44 Inspections Done
Properly, On Schedule
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), enacted in England and Wales through the Building Regulations and associated Energy Assessment legislation, requires all air conditioning systems with a cooling output exceeding 12 kW to be inspected by an accredited assessor. Reports must be lodged on the government's national register — and failure to comply can attract fixed-penalty notices of up to £300 per system. Chillmasters manages the entire process, from scheduling and on-site inspection through to report lodgement and five-year recall.
- First inspection required within five years of commissioning and every five years thereafter
- All surveys conducted by inspectors accredited under CIBSE, RICS, or equivalent government-approved schemes
- Assessment covers system condition, controls, zoning adequacy, and energy-saving opportunities
- Reports lodged on the government's national air conditioning inspection database on completion
- Fines of up to £300 per non-compliant system avoided with our proactive scheduling service
- Multi-site portfolio management with consolidated renewal calendars for facilities managers
What Makes Our TM44 Service Stand Out?
Accredited Inspectors Only
Every TM44 inspection we carry out is delivered by a CIBSE Low Energy Consultant or RICS-registered energy assessor. You receive a legally valid inspection certificate with zero risk of the report being challenged on qualification grounds.
Full Regulatory Lodgement
On completion, we lodge your TM44 inspection report directly on the government's national register. You receive copies of the lodgement reference and the full inspection report for your records — nothing is left to chance.
Fine Prevention & Cost Avoidance
With penalties of up to £300 per unregistered system, a large multi-unit estate can face thousands in fines. Our proactive renewal reminders and centralised compliance calendar ensure you never miss a deadline and never pay an unnecessary penalty.
Multi-Site Portfolio Management
For facilities managers responsible for multiple properties, we maintain a consolidated compliance register across your entire estate — tracking inspection dates, system outputs, and renewal windows so you have a single point of oversight.
