We Work Across
Every Commercial Sector
Different environments have very different cooling requirements. Our engineers have experience across a wide range of commercial settings, ensuring the right solution for your specific needs.
Offices & Co-Working
Discreet ceiling cassettes and slim wall units maintain the comfortable 19–21°C that keeps productivity high and energy bills controlled.
Server Rooms & IT Suites
Precision cooling with redundancy — N+1 configurations available to protect your critical infrastructure around the clock.
Retail & Showrooms
Zone-controlled comfort for staff and customers — managed independently per area to suit trading hours and occupancy levels.
Restaurants & Hospitality
Kitchen extraction, front-of-house comfort cooling and private dining zone control — all managed from a single system.
Warehouses & Industrial
Spot cooling for production areas, welfare facilities and offices within industrial units — including evaporative and DX options.
Healthcare & Education
Hygienic, low-noise systems with appropriate air filtration for hospitals, clinics, schools and universities.

Offices require precise, quiet and energy-efficient climate control. The ideal temperature for office productivity is 19–21°C. Ceiling cassette units are the most popular choice for open-plan offices as they distribute airflow evenly across the floor area without creating cold spots.
- Ceiling cassettes are virtually invisible when installed in a suspended tile ceiling
- Individual zone control allows different areas (meeting rooms, server alcoves, reception) to be managed separately
- BMS integration enables automated scheduling tied to occupancy hours — no cooling when the building is empty
- VRF/VRV systems suit larger offices with many zones, allowing simultaneous heating and cooling in different areas
- We size systems to handle peak summer occupancy, not just the building fabric load
Server rooms and IT suites have a unique requirement: cooling must never fail, and the room must remain within tight temperature and humidity limits (typically 18–27°C, 40–60% RH). A standard comfort cooling unit is not enough.
- N+1 redundancy means if one cooling unit fails, a second takes over automatically — essential for 24/7 operations
- Precision air conditioning units control humidity as well as temperature, unlike standard split systems
- We specify units with high-temperature shutdown alarms and remote monitoring capabilities
- Underfloor cooling is possible for raised-floor data environments where airflow through equipment racks is critical
- Annual maintenance is particularly important — a missed filter or refrigerant leak in a server room can cause equipment damage worth far more than the service cost
Retail environments present challenges that office cooling doesn't: frequent door openings, high lighting heat loads, varying occupancy throughout the day and the need to cool discreetly without cluttering the ceiling or wall space.
- Ceiling cassettes fit neatly in standard ceiling grids and don't distract from merchandise displays
- Zone control allows the entrance (which loses cooling every time the door opens) to run independently from the main sales floor
- Night setback mode holds a minimum temperature overnight without running at full capacity
- Linked to opening hours via BMS or timer to avoid cooling empty premises
- Display lighting — especially LED spotlights — adds significant heat load that must be included in the system design
Restaurants and hospitality venues have one of the most demanding cooling requirements of any commercial environment: extreme heat from commercial kitchen equipment, high occupancy in dining areas and the need for zone-by-zone control.
- Kitchen cooling must be coordinated with extraction — a supply of tempered air is needed to replace extracted air without creating draughts
- Front-of-house comfort cooling should be separate from the kitchen to allow independent control
- Private dining and function rooms need their own zones — you may only be running one room on a quiet weekday
- Grease-laden kitchen air cannot be recirculated through AC equipment without specialist filtration — we'll advise on the correct system type
- We factor in the heat load from people, equipment and lighting to size the system correctly for full-capacity service
Warehouses and industrial units often need targeted cooling rather than whole-space conditioning. Heating the entire cubic volume of a warehouse is expensive and often unnecessary — we identify which areas actually need climate control.
- Mezzanine offices and welfare facilities within a warehouse need proper comfort cooling; the warehouse floor itself often only needs spot cooling for working areas
- Evaporative cooling is a cost-effective option for large warehouse volumes where humidity is not critical — lower capital and running cost than DX refrigerant systems
- Direct Expansion (DX) split systems are suitable for welfare areas, changing rooms, offices and temperature-sensitive storage areas
- Industrial process cooling (for machinery or product stability) may require dedicated process chillers — we can advise on the right approach
- We carry out a full heat load survey before specifying any system for an industrial environment
Healthcare and educational environments have specific requirements around hygiene, noise levels and air quality that standard commercial AC must address carefully.
- Hospital-grade HEPA filtration options are available for clinical environments where air quality is a patient safety issue
- Libraries, classrooms and consulting rooms require units with very low noise ratings — typically below 32dB(A) even at medium speed
- Humidity control is important in healthcare settings where dry air can affect patient comfort and the viability of certain medical environments
- All works in occupied healthcare or educational buildings are carefully planned to minimise disruption — we coordinate with estates teams on access and timing
- Compliance documentation, F-Gas records and service history are maintained to the standard required for NHS and Local Authority contracts
