Tailored air conditioning solution during the peak of summer? No problem!

Posted Date 11/08/2022

The healthcare industry has always been a key market sector for us, due in no small part to the fact that our excellent service lends itself to the needs of critical applications that demand swift action. That’s something we can and do provide regularly, which is why we have established a reputation for speed and reliability.

Not every project we work on involves dozens of units and multiple delivery drivers, however, naturally, we take every requirement seriously.

In the aftermath of the recent record-breaking spell, we received a cooling enquiry from a suburban health centre. Our client was conscious that although temperatures were not as high as they previously had been, the potential for another heatwave meant that pre-emptive action should be taken.Following a discussion with the site’s facilities manager, it was decided that a combination of Polar Wind, Polar Breeze and Double Cool units would be necessary to cool all parts of the building. The Double Cools were deployed in a clinical room which had no windows or openings, while the two air conditioning models were stationed inside the waiting area and reception.

London Ambulance Service reaps the benefit of our out-of-hours service

It’s not often that we receive requests for comfort cooling in March due to temperatures generally being low, but we’re always prepared for that eventuality!

A few days ago, our operations team picked up an out-of-hours enquiry from the London Ambulance Service – and the equipment was required as a matter of urgency.

Despite the client contacting us at 7pm, we were able to coordinate the delivery and installation of eight Double Cool units before midnight that same day.

Although it was never made clear to us precisely what prompted the need for air conditioning, the customer was very clear about which type of unit would best suit their building given that there were no windows or openings to facilitate the extraction of hot air.

At the height of the coronavirus pandemic, Andrews Air Conditioning was approached by the estates team of a well-known South London Hospital during a Sunday lunchtime. Our client was looking for an emergency cooling solution to be installed within their post-mortem examination room. A rise in ambient temperatures, combined with the introduction of new guidelines obligating the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), had created an extremely warm environment for the pathologists and technicians working inside.
