We have qualified and experienced energy assessors available to carry out Air Conditioning Inspections (ACI) nationwide.

The Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations 2007 introduced a legal obligation on any person who controls the operation of an air conditioning system to ensure that the system is inspected by the relevant inspection date.

Unlike the requirements for Energy Performance Certificates, these air conditioning inspections are not triggered by sale or rental, but have been given definite deadlines for compliance.

These are;
1. First inspection of all existing air conditioning systems with an effective rated output of over 250 kW cooling capacity must be completed by 4 January 2009.

2. First inspection of all existing air conditioning systems with an effective rated output of over 12 kW must be  completed by 4 January 2011.

3. New air conditioning systems over 12 kW installed after January 2008 must be inspected within 5 years of being put into service

Recent reports indicate that a large number of buildings have not been to meet these deadlines and are therefore running the risk of fines and prosecution. Total Energy systems are here to ensure that you are not caught out. 

The aim of the inspection is to show how efficient your current system is and how it can be improved to reduce your costs and help the environment. Our air conditioning inspectors provide you with a comprehensive report showing what simple measures you can take to see immediate improvements in cost-efficiency and the effectiveness of your systems. We aim to make the process much simpler for our clients by asking for relevant information at the start to ensure that your inspection is undertaken quickly, cost effectively with the aim of improving efficiency to reduce your costs and carbon footprint.

Our air conditioning inspectors will examine, amongst other things, the refrigeration and air movement equipment that make up the system, system controls, any documentation relating to the operation and maintenance of the system. Our air conditioning inspectors will estimate whether the system is suitably sized for the cooling loads and will provide advice on ways in which the performance of the system might be improved.
