Our cooling solutions safeguard healthcare samples

Posted Date 23/08/2023

The summer has been busy for Andrews Air Conditioning. Despite the peak in demand, our engineers ensure that every job that we complete shows our commitment to delivering effective cooling solutions and their ability to provide outstanding service to their customers.

Recently, we faced a significant challenge of carrying out construction work in a clinical department of a hospital. The construction work resulted in a lot of dust particles in the air, and this became a risk to the vital samples. To prevent any dust from entering the fridges, the customer had to surround them with sheeting. However, this precautionary measure inadvertently caused the fridges to become hotter than normal.

Andrews Boilers helps Bath hospital get out of hot water

Posted Date 08/02/2023

As the country’s leading specialist boiler hire supplier, our team is always prepared to respond to emergencies – especially when they relate to the hot water and heating needs of businesses nationwide.

On a cold Thursday afternoon, our dedicated contact centre received an enquiry after the district mains system split at a hospital in Bath. As a result, the entire ward had no heating, and it was getting colder and colder by the hour.

We understand that some industries – such as healthcare – are particularly vulnerable when unexpected breakdowns occur. That’s why our staff are trained to help customers overcome challenging situations as and when they arrive. This conscientiousness and attention to detail is what underpins the high level of service we provide, and the very reason we are first choice for many facilities management companies.

NHS’ new cancer centres require urgent source of heating

Posted Date 24/11/2022

Falling winter temperatures are normally the catalyst for the healthcare sector turning to us for their temporary heating requirements – and this year has been no different.

Last week, we were contacted by a client in southwest England who is building a new cancer centre on behalf of the NHS.

To ensure the project could be completed on time, it was imperative that a solution was found to combat the cold weather affecting wet trade drying times.

Within hours of receiving the inquiry, our local expert conducted a site survey. This process allowed us to ascertain that temperatures on the building site would need to be kept above 18 degrees.

Is your healthcare facility prepared for the summer heat?

At Andrews Air Conditioning, we recognise the importance of maintaining patient comfort when seasonal temperatures begin to rise. Each day, more than a million people depend on the services of the NHS, private healthcare organisations and care homes – underlining the importance of having a practical contingency plan ahead of summer’s arrival.

It is therefore of paramount importance that wards, operating theatres and pharmaceutical storage areas are equipped with appropriate cooling systems. The varied nature of healthcare applications does however mean that diverse temperature controls are essential, and determined by a specific location’s uses and specifications.
