Local points to consider
Resilience
A single unit is a single point of failure. N+1 means one unit can fail without the room overheating.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Winter operation
Cooling is needed even when it is cold outside, so low-ambient controls are fitted.
Neighbours and noise
Outdoor units near flats — common above shops — need careful siting so noise at neighbours' windows stays low. We choose positions and quieter units with that in mind.
Typical premises in York
- Warehouses and industrial: cooling for offices, mezzanines, control rooms and temperature-sensitive areas.
- Schools and education: classroom cooling, ventilation and IT room cooling, installed in the holidays.
- Healthcare and dental: clean, quiet cooling for surgeries, clinics, dental practices and care settings.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
