A TM44 inspection is the air conditioning energy assessment required for systems with a combined effective rated output above 12 kW.
Cornwall and surrounding areas
We cover all of Cornwall, including Redruth, Falmouth, St Austell, Truro and Camborne. Wherever your premises are, the survey, quote and installation follow the same steps.
Postcode districts we cover include EX22, PL15, PL26, PL33, TR5, TR12, TR19 and TR27. Many buildings have a mix of older and newer systems, so we record each one separately and nothing is missed.
What the job covers
- Check of whether your systems meet the 12 kW threshold for your nation
- Collection of system details, records and drawings
- Inspection arranged with an accredited air conditioning energy assessor
- Report with recommendations, lodged where the rules require

Local points to consider
England and Wales
Under the Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012, systems over 12 kW need inspecting at least every five years by an accredited assessor, with the report lodged on the national register. Local Trading Standards enforce it, with a £300 penalty for not having a valid report.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Cornwall often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Not an F-gas check
A TM44 inspection is about energy efficiency. It does not replace F-gas leak checks or servicing.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Premises we work in around Cornwall
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
Common questions from businesses in Cornwall
How much does a TM44 inspection cost in Cornwall?
In Cornwall, guide prices are around £410–£3,050 per building, plus VAT; a typical job (office or shop with 15–50 kW of air conditioning) is £410–£825 plus VAT.
Is a TM44 the same as an EPC?
No. An EPC rates the whole building's energy performance. A TM44 is a separate inspection of the air conditioning systems.
What is the penalty for not having one?
In England and Wales a £300 penalty can be issued for failing to have a valid report, enforced by local Trading Standards. Northern Ireland also sets a £300 penalty.
