As seen in part 3 of our air conditioning inspection series, property owners may often expect more from an air conditioning inspection that it actually provides. Following EU directives and initiatives related to sustainability and efficiency; regulations focusing on the future of Europe and the newer generations. What an air conditioning inspection will not do is inspect the safety and installation; that will require a separate inspection. However the primary inspection is required by law.
What will I see in my air conditioning inspection report?
- The name of your inspector
- The date of the inspection
- The name of the accreditation that the inspector has
- The name and address of the company the inspector works for, such as BPM Maintenance.
- The address of the building containing the air conditioning system inspected.
- Areas of the building served by the air conditioning system.
- Specification of the air conditioning system.
What will the report assess?
- Temperature control
- Time control
- Maintenance regime
- Controls & sensors
- Metering
- Loads
How will it assess these features?
The air conditioning inspection report will provide assessments detailing the effectiveness of the system and how it could be improved in cost effectiveness and energy efficiency. Methods to achieve this may include changing how the controls are used, times the system is on for, cleaning and repairs that may improve efficiency.
The inspector will not carry out any of the recommendations that he gives, such as cleaning or changes to controls as this may pose some form of risk to his safety. If the inspector has the competence, skills and qualifications to do the work, and offers the service, then the inspector may carry out this work. However this would not be in any way connected to the inspection and must be arranged as a separate job.
As the inspection does not cover the actual maintenance or installation of the air conditioning system; it is often the case that the changes are simple, especially for issues such as the controls or time the system is active for. Therefore the building manager or administrator may be able to make the changes personally, during the inspection.
