Andrews Sykes provides cooling solutions for critical medical amenities

At Andrews Sykes, we take great pride in providing first-class chiller hire services to our valued clients. Recently, we received a call from a hospital based in North London, which was in dire need of a reliable and efficient chiller unit. With our proven track record of successfully completing a similar job for a hospital located in southeast London, we were the perfect choice for the job.

The hospital’s current chiller unit was unable to meet their needs, covering all air conditioning units and MRI scanning facilities, making it a critical requirement. With summer approaching, the client contacted us early to ensure that they had no issues before the temperature began to rise. Our team understands the importance of flexibility in customer service, which is why we went above and beyond to provide exceptional service – as we do in every instance.

We pride ourselves on bringing new products to market – we always have done – and there’s always a rationale behind each launch. Sometimes we act on customer feedback, sometimes we want to pre-empt environmental legislation, and sometimes we simply look to make a popular existing product even better.

Each unit is robust, dependable, safe, economical, and can bring temperatures down to as low as -10⁰C. In fact, our Fast Chill units are the perfect solution for cold storage areas, food and beverage manufacturing processes. How, then, could we improve them?

While the summer has been somewhat stop-start in terms of the constantly fluctuating weather, there has at least been sufficient time for our customers to take precautions and not get caught out unexpectedly.
