Points to plan for in Guildford
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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Guildford are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
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 Guildford
- 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.

Which postcodes do you cover in Guildford?
All of them, including GU1. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Do I need a TM44 inspection?
In England, Wales and Northern Ireland, yes if the air conditioning you control in a building adds up to more than 12 kW of effective rated output, at least every five years. In Scotland, systems of 12 kW or more need inspecting (separate units count together only where centrally controlled), at intervals set by the accredited expert.
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.
