Act on the report
You receive the report; we can quote for the recommended improvements.
Local points to consider
Northern Ireland
Systems over 12 kW must be inspected by an accredited energy assessor within five years of installation and then every five years, with the report lodged on the register; the penalty is £300.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Newtownabbey 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.
Leased premises
If your Newtownabbey 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.

Two rules matter for most businesses in Northern Ireland: EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for more than 12 kW of air conditioning.

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.
