Rochdale is our home patch — our office is on the doorstep, so local TM44 inspections are quick to book and easy to follow up. The borough's commercial stock ranges from converted mills and manufacturing offices to town-centre retail and civic buildings, much of it with cooling added over several phases.
Buildings we inspect in Rochdale
Converted mill office space, industrial units in Heywood and Kingsway Business Park, and high-street retail and hospitality in Rochdale, Middleton and Littleborough.
Typical Rochdale systems: split and multi-split units in mill offices, cassettes in retail, packaged and VRF systems on larger industrial and distribution sites.
Is your Rochdale building in scope?
If the air conditioning serving the building has a combined effective rated output above 12kW, it must be inspected by an accredited energy assessor at least every five years and the report lodged on the national register. As a rule of thumb, five or six typical office cassettes will already take you past the threshold.
- • Inventory of the air conditioning systems serving the building
- • Assessment of system sizing against the spaces being cooled
- • Review of controls, time schedules and set points
- • Check of maintenance records and evidence of servicing
- • Inspection of accessible plant, filters, coils and pipework condition
- • Identification of obvious refrigerant leakage or performance issues

Report & register lodgement
You receive the TM44 air conditioning inspection report with recommendations, and the report is lodged on the national register so it can be produced on request.

Frequently asked questions
Are you local to Rochdale?
Yes — Enable Cooling & Heating is based here, so Rochdale inspections and any follow-up works are handled directly by our own engineers.
Can you inspect several units on the same estate in one visit?
Usually yes, and it keeps the cost per building down. Tell us how many units and we'll price it as one visit.
What is a TM44 air conditioning inspection?
It's an energy assessment of the air conditioning serving a building, carried out to the CIBSE TM44 methodology by an accredited assessor. It reviews the systems installed, how well they're sized and controlled, and produces recommendations to improve efficiency and reduce running costs.
Is a TM44 inspection a legal requirement?
Yes. Under the Energy Performance of Buildings (England and Wales) Regulations 2012, air conditioning systems with an effective rated output of more than 12kW must be inspected by an accredited energy assessor at least every five years, and the report lodged on the national register.
How is the 12kW threshold worked out?
It's the combined effective rated output of all the air conditioning systems serving the building, not a single unit. Several smaller splits added over the years can easily total more than 12kW.
How often does the inspection need repeating?
At least every five years. If the systems are altered significantly, a new inspection may be needed sooner.
