Air conditioning for retail and shops
Shops deal with lighting heat, crowds at peak times and doors that are open all day. A well-designed system keeps the shop floor comfortable for customers and staff, and an air curtain stops the entrance undoing the work. Outdoor units above high-street shops need careful siting for neighbours and planning.
Common challenges
- Open doors and draughts
- Lighting heat and display windows
- Limited space for outdoor units
- Installing without closing the shop
- Stockrooms and back offices

Questions from retail and shops
How do I keep my shop cool with the door open?
Size the cooling for the open-door condition and fit an air curtain over the entrance to cut the heat exchange.
Can you install before we open?
Yes. Most shop installations can be done early mornings, evenings or on closing days.
Will we need planning permission for the outdoor unit?
It depends on the position and the building. Front elevations, conservation areas and listed buildings usually need consent.
