Why TM44 Compliance Matters
Staying on top of your air conditioning inspections isn’t just about ticking a legal box — it’s about protecting your business, your budget, and the environment. A TM44 inspection provides critical insights into the performance of your system and helps you make informed decisions moving forward.
TM44 Air Conditioning Inspections
When you book a TM44 inspection with Vital Building Services, one of our fully qualified and accredited assessors will carry out a comprehensive evaluation of your air conditioning system. The inspection goes beyond just ticking a compliance box — it’s a full review designed to help you meet legal requirements and improve system performance.
As part of the assessment, we will:
Examine the design and layout of your system to ensure it’s suitable for your building’s needs.
Review the control settings to determine how effectively your system regulates temperature and energy use.
Inspect maintenance records to check that servicing has been carried out correctly and in line with manufacturer and legal requirements.
Assess the system’s overall efficiency, identifying areas where energy performance could be improved.
After the inspection, you’ll receive a comprehensive report that includes:
A clear summary of the system’s current condition
Recommendations for improving efficiency, performance, and compliance
Identification of any issues that may need attention
Confirmation of your compliance status under current TM44 and F-Gas regulations.
We’ll also lodge the official report with the government’s approved database, so you can rest assured that your legal responsibilities have been met.
🛡️Legal Compliance
Failing to carry out a TM44 inspection on qualifying systems can result in enforcement action, including fines of up to £300 per unit and repeat penalties for ongoing non-compliance. Regular inspections ensure you're meeting your statutory obligations under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations, giving you peace of mind and avoiding unnecessary legal risk.
⚙️ Energy Efficiency
Over time, air conditioning systems can become inefficient due to poor settings, lack of maintenance, or outdated components. A TM44 assessment helps identify where energy is being wasted and provides practical steps to optimise performance, reduce energy usage, and improve system control — leading to a more efficient operation overall.
💰 Cost Savings
Energy inefficiency directly affects your bottom line. By highlighting issues such as incorrect temperature settings, outdated controls, or unnecessary runtime, the TM44 inspection can help you reduce consumption and cut running costs. In many cases, implementing the assessor’s recommendations leads to significant long-term savings on energy bills.
🌍 Environmental Impact
Reducing your energy use doesn’t just lower your costs — it also contributes to your organisation’s sustainability goals. TM44 inspections help you actively reduce your carbon footprint, supporting broader environmental commitments and improving your reputation as a responsible business in an increasingly eco-conscious world.
