Where we work around Antrim
In a town like Antrim, a single wall unit for a shop or a cassette for a surgery makes a real difference in summer. Belfast is about 23 km away.
We cover every Antrim postcode, including BT41. Nearby, we also cover Ballymena (about 17 km), Newtownabbey (about 20 km) and Belfast (about 23 km). In Antrim, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.

The steps for a project in Antrim
Check the void
We confirm void depth, grid size and any obstructions such as beams, sprinkler pipes or ductwork. For sites in Antrim we confirm access and parking beforehand.
Set positions
Cassettes are placed against the lighting and grid layout so air reaches the whole space.
Hang and connect
Units are hung on drop rods, connected to pipework and the condensate line.
Test and commission
The condensate pump is water-tested, the system pressure tested and charged, and air directions set.
Before you book in Antrim
Ceiling grid
Compact cassettes drop into a 600 mm grid; full-size units need the grid adapting around a larger panel.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Antrim are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the council's planning service before work is booked.
Void depth
Compact cassettes typically need around 250–300 mm of clear void; larger units need more. We measure before quoting.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Antrim often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Premises we work in around Antrim
- Retail and shops: comfortable shop floors, stockrooms and entrances, even with the door open.
- Restaurants and cafés: dining rooms that stay comfortable next to a hot kitchen and a busy service.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Pubs and bars: cooling for busy bars, function rooms and cellars, sited with neighbours in mind.
Compliance in Northern Ireland: refrigerant work falls under EU F-gas rules that apply in Northern Ireland, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
