Points to plan for in Staffordshire
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 Staffordshire 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.
Premises we work in around Staffordshire
- 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).
Your questions answered
How much does a TM44 inspection cost in Staffordshire?
In Staffordshire, guide prices are around £395–£2,950 per building, plus VAT; a typical job (office or shop with 15–50 kW of air conditioning) is £395–£795 plus VAT.
Do you also cover the West Midlands, Derbyshire and Shropshire?
Yes. Alongside Staffordshire, we also cover the West Midlands, Derbyshire and Shropshire. 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.
