TM44 compliance. think smart.

Legal compliance — TM44

Is your air conditioning inspection overdue?

Any building where the AC has an effective rated output exceeding 12kW must be inspected every five years. Without a valid TM44 certificate, your building is non-compliant and subject to a fixed penalty notice from your local authority.

What the regulations require

Three things you need to know about TM44

The inspection identifies exactly where your system is wasting energy and provides costed recommendations. Most customers find savings that offset the inspection cost within a year.

Who it applies to

Any building where the AC has an effective rated output exceeding 12kW. Offices, retail, hospitality, healthcare and most commercial premises. See our TM44 service.

How often

Every five years from the date of the last valid inspection. If no previous inspection has been carried out, your building is already non-compliant. Read our 2026 guide.

What happens without one

Missing inspections can result in a fixed penalty notice from your local authority. The absence of a valid certificate also creates risk during property transactions and lease renewals.

Not sure if your inspection is due?

We'll check your records and tell you exactly where you stand. No obligation.
