What happens on a visit in Hertfordshire
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.
Before you book in Hertfordshire
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 Hertfordshire 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.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Hertfordshire are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Typical premises in Hertfordshire
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
Compliance in England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
Common questions from businesses in Hertfordshire
How much does a TM44 inspection cost in Hertfordshire?
In Hertfordshire, guide prices are around £425–£3,195 per building, plus VAT; a typical job (office or shop with 15–50 kW of air conditioning) is £425–£860 plus VAT.
Do you also cover Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and London?
Yes. Alongside Hertfordshire, we also cover Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and London. 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.
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.
