TM44 Explained
If you operate a commercial property with air conditioning, a TM44 Air Conditioning Inspection may be a legal requirement. Systems with a combined effective rated output of more than 12kW must be inspected at least every five years to maintain compliance with the relevant legislation.

MORE THAN COMPLIANCE
IDENTIFY OPPORTUNITIES
Your inspection provides an independent assessment of system operation and energy efficiency, with recommendations for potential improvements
The recommendations within a TM44 report can help property owners and operators identify practical opportunities to improve performance and reduce energy consumption, often through operational changes rather than significant capital investment.
The findings can also help inform planned maintenance, future equipment replacement, Property Improvement Plans (PIPs) and longer-term capital expenditure.
Who needs TM44 inspections?
TM44 Alliance specialises in supporting hotels, meetings and events businesses, venues, visitor attractions, heritage properties and other operational real estate, where air conditioning systems are often extensive, complex and critical to the operation of the property.
For owners and operators, the priority is firstly to understand whether a TM44 inspection is required and ensure that the property remains compliant. Beyond this, the assessment provides an opportunity to better understand system performance, identify unnecessary energy consumption and plan improvements over the short, medium and longer term.
We also support organisations responsible for multiple properties, helping them establish their current compliance position, identify gaps and upcoming renewals, and coordinate TM44 inspections across a portfolio.
