Air Conditioning Inspections
Who must have them?
Building owners that have air conditioning systems over 250kW should have had an inspection by 4th January 2009. For other air conditioning inspections where effective rated output is more than 12kW the first inspection must happen by the 4th January 2011.
How often do these inspections need to be carried out?
Under the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive all air conditioning systems now require regular inspections by an accredited engineer at intervals of not greater than 5 years.
What are the penalties for Non Compliance?
The penalty for failing to produce a valid air conditioning inspection report on request is a £300 fine.
