Points to plan for in Ipswich
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.
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.
Not an F-gas check
A TM44 inspection is about energy efficiency. It does not replace F-gas leak checks or servicing.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Types of premises we cover in Ipswich
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
Two rules matter for most businesses in England: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.

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.
