The benefits of our Air Conditioning Systems
As a market leader, we pride ourselves in providing high performance and competitive systems with low running costs.
By utilising heat pump technology, our air conditioning units not only provide cooling, but also heating and often sanitary hot water. Heat pump technology requires
only a small amount of electricity to harvest, upgrade and move heat from one location to another, and providing heating and hot water as part of an integrated
air conditioning system is far more efficient than traditional heating methods such as gas.
The 2014 F-Gas Regulations will bring about significant changes to the air conditioning industry however, affecting end users, facilities managers, specifiers
and installers alike. This landmark ruling has one key objective: to reduce F-Gas emissions by 79% between 2015 and 2030, by cutting the availability
of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) with a high Global Warming Potential (GWP).
It's time therefore to look at alternative, lower GWP refrigerants such as R32.
