European recap – what’s been happening lately?

Posted Date 13/04/2023

In recent weeks, we’ve seen a surge in the need for temporary heating and cooling solutions across the continent, as well as our innovative pump products. Here are some notable updates from France, Italy, the UK, the Netherlands, and Belgium.

Although we seem to have seen the last of the colder weather in France, the demand for electric heaters certainly spiked during the winter season. Andrews Climat Location was contacted by one of the largest civil engineering and construction companies in the country, on behalf of their multinational technology client in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. To support the client’s construction project, seven FH4000 units were rented to provide 24/7 temporary heating while tiling, floor laying, and painting processes were undertaken.

In order to preserve potatoes while they’re in storage, it is vitally important that an effective climate control solution is put in place beforehand. So, when the UK’s largest supplier of potatoes contacted us in search of a heater hire package for their factory, our specialists were quickly on site to develop a solution.

During the winter months, our client was struggling to get temperatures in their factory above -2°C, leaving the agricultural yield at risk of becoming quickly spoilt and unsaleable as a result.

At Andrews Boilers, we take pride in providing our customers with vital heating amenities in the event of a system failure. So, when an existing boiler system was struggling to maintain a desirable temperature inside a local town hall, our specialists were contacted and asked to provide equipment to improve conditions.

A short-term boiler rental was urgently required in the absence of a fixed system to ensure all staff were kept comfortable and productive during the busy Christmas period.

After a site visit had been carried out, our recommendation was to supply the client with a 100kW gas boiler supplied with a natural gas burner and various lengths of hosing which was placed through the back window of the building’s plant room.

Andrews Boilers keep healthcare residential unit functional during refurbishment project

Posted Date 15/12/2016

The largest healthcare service in England had plans of undergoing an extensive extension and refurbishment project. However, before this could take place, a temporary boiler was required to provide the residential unit with constant heating while the boiler house underwent a re-fit.

Following an urgent call out, an Andrews engineer visited the location and recommended a 250kW boiler hire unit complete with temporary pipe work.

Logistical problems and a lack of space on the active site made it infeasible to station the temporary boiler near the existing boiler house. Our solution was to position the boiler a short distance away, providing the client with additional hose runs to connect to the existing flow and return stabbings.
