They say the destiny of a country rests with its students, and at Andrews Sykes, we are playing our part in ensuring the next generation reach the heights they are capable of! We are dedicated to providing innovative and reliable cooling solutions to meet the diverse needs of our clients. Recently, an all-boys school contacted us about hiring some Polar Wind Plus units – a requirement we were able to effortlessly fulfil on the same day we received an enquiry.

A common challenge during exam periods is maintaining an optimal temperature in the exam room without causing distractions. As summer approaches, the rooms in the school were becoming hotter than expected. With 27 students expected to take their exams simultaneously, the school needed a cooling solution that would efficiently cool the air while maintaining the comfort and concentration levels of pupils.

Don’t sweat it! The benefits of air conditioning hire, explained

Why consider hiring an air conditioning unit this summer?

As the summer months approach, facilities managers and decision makers start to worry about how they will keep their staff and customers cool in hot weather. One option that is often overlooked is hiring an air conditioning unit. If you only need an air conditioner for a short period of time, due to fleeting season demand, for instance, then hiring may represent a better choice than committing to a purchase. With a rental agreement, you’re not tied into a long-term commitment and need not be concerned with storage, installation, or other potential perceived inconveniences.

Italy

In Italy, our colleagues at Nolo Climat have finally let one of our newest players off the bench to make their debut. We are of course referring to our new submersible pumps, and it is with great delight that we announce that some of these are now out on hire! Quite fittingly, a sporting association needed to move water from one pond to another, prompting an enquiry and our first official pump order.

Six in ten Brits demand air conditioning while working from home, survey finds

Posted Date 31/08/2021

According to a recent study, more than 60% of Brits want their bosses to provide air conditioning while working from home.

On average, productivity is said to decrease by a third during hot temperatures, with 44% of the 2,000 adults asked admitting they struggle to stay on top of their workload when the mercury soars.

Two in five respondents actively seek a different room or area to work in a bid to overcome warmer conditions, while a quarter confessed to sitting near an open fridge or freezer!

A similar proportion of those surveyed have previously refused to work when the heat has been too extreme, with a temperature of 28⁰C commonly cited as being too hot for general exertion.

Replacement cooling hire keeps data centre online during system upgrade

Posted Date 19/07/2021

Data centres and server rooms are among the most temperature-sensitive applications around, so there can be no room for error when it comes to ensuring that climate control systems are operating properly.

This means conducting regular maintenance which should include the frequent replacement of filters, coils and the cleaning of drains and other components. Many cooling solutions will also comprise of direct expansion (DX) units, which function by cooling indoor air using condensed refrigerant liquid. These, too, will also need to be replaced from time to time to help preserve the longevity and performance of a fixed air conditioning system.

Government department requests replacement cooling during upgrade

Posted Date 07/06/2021

At Andrews Air Conditioning, we have a longstanding track record of delivering solutions to the public sector and government bodies. It is not uncommon for requirements to arise unexpectedly – usually when permanently installed equipment fails, or a facility’s use changes suddenly. Organisations that find themselves in these situations rely on the swift response of suppliers, as well as the availability of replacement units.

After discovering a fault with their internal chiller system, the estates team of a ministerial building in Yorkshire approached our regional experts and asked for some alternative units to temporarily supersede the equipment needing repairs.
