How we handle TM44 inspections in the Scottish Borders
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.
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.
Not an F-gas check
A TM44 inspection is about energy efficiency. It does not replace F-gas leak checks or servicing.
Working hours
Most the Scottish Borders businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Types of premises we cover in the Scottish Borders
- 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).

Who can carry out a TM44 inspection?
Only an accredited air conditioning energy assessor (in Scotland, an accredited expert under an approved protocol organisation). We arrange the inspection through one.
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.
