TM44 Milton Keynes
Undertaking TM44 Inspections
KTIC conducts TM44 surveys in Milton Keynes for air conditioning energy assessments, which is now a legal obligation under The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations (England and Wales).
Our evaluators carry out an across-the-board inspection of a commercial or residential building’s air conditioning system to assess its utilisation, service, and maintenance levels. After evaluation, our assessors provide the TM44 inspection certificate, detailing recommendations concerning how to improve energy efficiency and decrease carbon footprint and overhead rates.
TM44 inspection can only be conducted by a registered assessor. Thus, KTIC provides certified evaluators who thoroughly examine your systems before issuing a certificate that you can confidently display in a visible spot to show compliance with the UK regulations concerning energy efficiency.

Our Inspection Process
Our assessment process is simple and easy to navigate:

- Visual Assessment: The evaluator concludes a TM44 survey to inspect the components, controls, and maintenance records.
- TM44 Site Survey: The assessor examines the physical installation, including pipework, ducts, and insulation.
- Assessment of Efficiency: The evaluator calculates the system’s energy efficiency ratio (EER) and seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER).

Frequently Asked Question's
How often is TM44 inspection required?
The TM44 evaluation is required every five years, or within five years of an initial assessment.
What are the penalties for TM44 non-compliance?
Failure to comply with the TM44 compliance could include reoccurring fines of £300 for smaller air conditioning systems (per non-compliance visit). For more intricate systems, some councils have declared that non-compliance could lead to greater fines depending on the level of estimated neglect. The TM44 Inspection of air conditioning systems is also required to obtain and renew the ISO:8001 accreditation.
Who needs a TM44 inspection?
A TM44 assessment is a legal obligation for all buildings with a collective cooling output of 12kW or more. It is essential for all properties that come under these criteria to commence a TM44 evaluation. Only systems that are used just for process cooling are excused from the air conditioning assessment regulations.
When did the TM44 guidelines come into place?
Air conditioning compliance was introduced as regulation as part of the EPBD scheme of refining the energy efficiency of UK buildings, with TM44 laws having been a legal obligation since 2011 as part of the UK energy legislation.
How can I arrange for a TM44 evaluation?
Arranging a TM44 assessment is a straightforward process. You first need to find a certified assessor provided by a registered company. You then need to prepare before the arrival of the inspector, by collecting all of the documents, such as previous evaluation reports, maintenance records, and details of the air conditioning system. You also need to provide access to the system so that the evaluator can examine all the important areas. The inspector will then examine all the areas and issue a detailed report outlining recommendations for improvement.
