Andrews Air Conditioning provides gym-ready cooling solutions

Posted Date 23/08/2023

In fitness facilities, the significance of a properly functioning cooling system cannot be overstated. The gymnasium, a space where people strive to push their physical limits, necessitates a cool and comfortable environment to facilitate optimal performance.

Recently we received an emergency enquiry as a customer’s gymnasiums cooling system had been vandalised and was no longer working. The system’s copper metal components had been stolen, leaving the facility without its critical cooling. This threatened to compromise the gym’s reputation as a reliable and comfortable workout space, particularly since it was open 24/7, a cooling solution that could provide uninterrupted cold air circulation was needed.

Posted Date 24/07/2023

A few weeks ago, the team at Andrews Sykes once again demonstrated our ability to provide exceptional service when faced with a critical situation during the famous Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theatre show.

On a Sunday evening, we received an urgent call from the stage manager, who was concerned about rising temperature levels backstage posing a potential risk to the children performing. The weekend prior, the show had to cancel two performances due to the scorching heat on the stage. It was evident that immediate action was needed to ensure the show could go on. And thanks to us, it did!

Summer is a time for festivals, exhibitions, parties and graduations, but it’s also the time of year when facilities managers and healthcare estates teams desperately need us.

Incorporating climate solutions can be challenging, and often overlooked until the very last minute. That’s why we’ve created a comprehensive summer air conditioning checklist to help you plan better and expedite the ordering process. Before placing an order with us, we highly recommend considering these key factors:

Enhancing exam room comfort

Posted Date 17/05/2023

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.

Your annual reminder: Air conditioning with HEPA filtration available now!

Posted Date 12/04/2023

It’s happening already! Customers are starting to secure air conditioning units incorporating HEPA filtration – and this will only become more frequent as temperatures rise!

For many years, we have been supplying clients with PAC 22 and PAC 60 units featuring HEPA filters, with this requirement extremely common in the healthcare sector.

But how do HEPA filters work, and what are the benefits of adapting air conditioning systems to include this technology?

High Efficiency Particular Air (HEPA) filtration can trap up to 99.97% of dust, pollen and airborne particles of 0.3 microns, making indoor environments significantly cleaner and safer for those inside.

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.

In light of it being National Engineers Week, it feels appropriate to highlight one of our engineers and delve into precisely what the job itself entails. That means I’m back with another Day in the Life segment, and this month I shadowed one of our talented Senior Service Engineers – Jason Watson.

As I’m generally office-based, I was excited to observe how the backbone of our business operates, and learn more about how the practical side of things work. As soon as I saw Jason arriving at the Charlton depot car park, I set about capturing potential social media content and documenting our day by taking notes on how a typical morning might unfold.
