Energy inspection · above 70 kW · for businesses and institutions
Mandatory inspection?Then make it worth something.
The energy inspection of heating, cooling and heat-pump systems above 70 kW is a legal obligation in Hungary. From the same site visit we also show you where the money leaks out — and what to do about it: what you can adjust tomorrow, what pays back within five years, and what is worth doing with grant funding.
For businesses, institutions, industrial and multi-site facilities. We do not handle residential, single-family or sub-70 kW systems.
Not just a mandatory document
Decision support on three levels — with numbers, not generalities.
The outcome of the inspection matters. The statutory report tells you where the system stands; the Energy Loss Assessment tells you what to do — and when.
2
Pays back within 5 years
Medium-term energy-efficiency measures.
Pump replacement, missing insulation, control and motorised valves, weather-compensated control, cascade optimisation, emitter-side control — itemised, with investment magnitude and simple payback.
3
Long-term investment
System conversion, possibly with grant funding.
Heat-generator replacement, switch to heat pumps, system-level modernisation. We show what you can apply for, what is missing, and how it fits the large-enterprise energy audit.
Two packages
The mandatory minimum — or the mandatory minimum that turns into a decision.
Basic
Compliance inspection
The statutory obligation — done completely.
- On-site inspection, delimitation and documentation of the system
- For heating systems, measurements with calibrated instruments (flue-gas, radiation and chimney losses); for air-conditioning and heat-pump systems, visual inspection
- 100-point energy rating of the system according to the Chamber of Engineers’ methodology
- Photo documentation, inspection report and upload to the official register (F-gas database)
- The modernisation recommendation required by law
- Deadline monitoring for the next due date — free of charge
All you need to do is arrange the appointment and access.

From the same site visit: where the money leaks out, and what is worth doing.
- Everything in the Compliance inspection
- Identified losses and problems — with measurement data and photos
- Recommendations ranked on three levels: adjustable tomorrow · pays back within 5 years · long-term investment
- Expected annual savings in kWh, HUF and CO₂, with investment magnitude and payback
- Grant eligibility, EKR/TAO accounting options, timing of the large-enterprise energy audit
- Schedule and the next step: concept or detailed design — we can design it if you wish
For multi-site operators: a portfolio version that ranks the sites — where to spend first.
Request a quotationWho is the Energy Loss Assessment for? Operators who will modernise within 1–3 years, plan to apply for grants, run an ISO 50001 system or are subject to the large-enterprise energy audit — and multi-site operators who want to know where to spend first.
Who is affected
Operators of heating and cooling systems above 70 kW.
Businesses and institutions
Office buildings, industrial halls and plants, logistics centres, hotels and wellness, retail, education and healthcare, municipal buildings. The obligation falls on the operator — or, in its absence, the owner.
Heating AND cooling
Heating (or combined heating-and-ventilation) systems with an effective rated output above 70 kW, and air-conditioning, heat-pump (or combined air-conditioning-and-ventilation) systems above 70 kW alike.
70 kW refers to the system, not the unit
Eight 40 kW boilers serving a building together are one 320 kW system. Twenty split units in one building add up. If in doubt, we check the classification free of charge.
Due every 8 years
The inspection must be repeated every 8 years; for companies subject to the mandatory energy audit it is carried out on the occasion of — as part of — that audit.
New systems: within 1 year
For systems commissioned after 1 January 2022, the first inspection must be carried out within 1 year of commissioning.
Exemption — under strict conditions
Exemption may apply e.g. to systems under an energy-performance contract or a district-heating operation contract, and in non-residential buildings to systems above 290 kW with suitable building automation. The exemption must be proven — we survey the conditions and prepare the application.
How we work
No quotation in the dark — we first check what you actually need.
1
Classification — 2 minutes
A few clicks tell you whether you are affected and how many systems are involved. If unsure, we check it free of charge from your equipment list or a nameplate photo.
2
Fixed quotation
Based on the data provided we send a fixed-fee quotation shortly — travel included, no hidden costs.
3
Site inspection
With the operator or maintenance contractor present, without shutting the system down. For heating systems with calibrated instrument measurements; typically 2–4 hours depending on system size.
4
Report and filing
Statutory inspection report, filing with the authority, reminder of the next due date. With the Energy Loss Assessment: a hand-over meeting on the recommendations.
Legal background in brief
From the EU directive to filing with the authority.
EU basis
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD, 2010/31/EU, as amended by (EU) 2018/844) — regular inspection of heating and air-conditioning systems above 70 kW.
Hungarian rules
Act LVII of 2015 on Energy Efficiency and its implementing decrees — including Government Decree 666/2020 (XII. 28.) and ITM Decree 19/2021 (IV. 14.) — governing the content and frequency of the inspection, the qualification of the inspector and the legal consequences.
Deadline
For systems commissioned before 1 January 2022 the deadline for the first inspection was 31 December 2025. Operators who have not had it done are in default; the inspection can be carried out at any time.
Who may carry it out?
Only professionals listed in the register of the Hungarian Chamber of Engineers with an energy-inspector qualification.
Enforcement
Compliance is supervised by the National Climate Protection Authority: in case of non-compliance it issues a notice with a deadline, and after the deadline lapses it may impose a fine. Professional review of the inspection reports and decisions on exemption applications are handled by the Hungarian Chamber of Engineers.
Filing
The result must be recorded in an inspection report and uploaded to the official register (F-gas database) — we handle this too.
Why BIMLine
The engineer who surveys it can also design it.
Done by a design engineer, not a data clerk
The same building-services engineer who surveys the system can also design its modernisation — so the recommendation is buildable, not generic.
Heating and cooling in one hand
Boiler rooms, heating centres, heat-pump and air-conditioning systems — one inspector, one set of reports, one contact.
Free deadline monitoring
We keep track of due dates and notify you in good time before the next mandatory inspection.

Frequently asked questions
What operators ask first.
What is the difference between the Compliance inspection and the Energy Loss Assessment?
The Compliance inspection fulfils the statutory obligation: site inspection, measurements, scoring, report, filing and the mandatory recommendation. The Energy Loss Assessment turns the same site visit into a decision document as well: identified losses, measures ranked on three levels, expected savings and payback, grant and accounting options. It suits operators who will modernise within 1–3 years, plan to apply for grants, or run several sites.
Why are there no prices on the page?
Because the fee depends on the number, output and type of the systems (heating or cooling) and on the number and distance of the sites — a one-size-for-all list would be misleading. Based on the data you give during classification, however, we quote a fixed fee in advance: nothing is “worked out on site”, and there are no hidden costs.
What counts as a system above 70 kW?
A heating (or combined heating-and-ventilation) system whose heat generators have a combined effective rated output above 70 kW, or an air-conditioning, heat-pump (or combined air-conditioning-and-ventilation) system above 70 kW. The output refers to the system, not to individual units: several smaller units add up if they serve the building together.
We have a family house, a small office or a system below 70 kW — does it apply to us?
The regular energy inspection obligation applies only to systems above 70 kW. We do not handle residential, single-family or sub-70 kW systems. If you are unsure of the system output, we check the classification free of charge.
When should it have been done? Am I late?
For systems commissioned before 2022 the deadline for the first inspection was 31 December 2025, so operators who have not had it done are in default. Compliance is supervised by the National Climate Protection Authority; the steps are a notice, a grace period and — if that is not met either — a fine. The inspection can be carried out at any time, and that is the simplest way to close the matter.
How often must it be repeated?
Every 8 years. For companies subject to the mandatory energy audit it must be carried out on the occasion of — as part of — that audit. For new systems the first inspection is due within 1 year of commissioning. We monitor the next due date free of charge and notify you in time.
Can we be exempted?
Yes, but the conditions are strict. In residential buildings, systems with continuous electronic monitoring and effective control functions may be exempt; in non-residential buildings, systems above 290 kW with suitable building automation and control. In both cases an energy-performance contract or a district-heating operation contract may also grant exemption. The operator must prove the exemption: the application is submitted by an energy inspector to the Hungarian Chamber of Engineers. We survey the conditions on site and prepare the application.
Our building is on district heating — does it apply to us?
If the secondary side is operated by the district-heating company and the system falls under an operation contract concluded with it, exemption can be requested. If the owner of the premises has no operation contract with the district-heating company, the inspection must be carried out.
We operate several sites — how does it work?
One contract, one contact, site inspections scheduled per site. The Energy Loss Assessment is then prepared at portfolio level: sites are ranked by savings potential and payback so you can see where to spend first. For several systems and sites we offer a package quotation.
How long does it take, and does it disrupt operation?
The system does not need to be shut down. The site inspection typically takes 2–4 hours depending on system size and type; for heating systems the boiler must run at full load for the calibrated measurements, so outside the heating season allow time for that. The operator or maintenance contractor must be present.
