The visit, step by step
Check the threshold
We work out the effective rated output of the systems you control and whether they count together under the rules for your nation.
Prepare
Make, model, capacity, refrigerant and maintenance records are gathered for the assessor.
Inspect
The accredited assessor inspects the systems and controls on site.
Act on the report
You receive the report; we can quote for the recommended improvements.
Local points to consider
Scotland
Regulation 17 of the Building (Scotland) Regulations requires inspection of systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more by an accredited expert, typically every three to five years depending on condition.
Leased premises
If your Edinburgh premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
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.
Typical premises in Edinburgh
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
Common questions from businesses in Edinburgh
How much does a TM44 inspection cost in Edinburgh?
In Edinburgh, guide prices are around £380–£2,850 per building, plus VAT; a typical job (office or shop with 15–50 kW of air conditioning) is £380–£765 plus VAT.
Do you also cover the Lothians, Fife and Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?
Yes. Alongside Edinburgh, we also cover the Lothians, Fife and Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
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.
Does a TM44 include a leak check?
No. F-gas leak checks are a separate legal requirement, usually done during servicing.
