Scope check

Is your York building likely to need a TM44 inspection?

In England and Wales, air conditioning systems with an effective rated output of more than 12kW must be regularly inspected by an accredited energy assessor. The inspection interval must be no more than five years.

Several smaller units can count together where they are under single control in the same building. If the capacity is unclear, the equipment labels, O and M manuals, asset list or maintenance records are usually the first place to check.
