Air conditioning for shops & retail
A shop floor that is too warm loses customers and staff. Retail air conditioning has to keep the space comfortable without competing with the shopfitting.
Glazed shopfronts
Retail units have large south- or west-facing windows, doors that open all day and display lighting that adds heat. Those loads are what the system has to be sized for, and they differ from an office of the same floor area.
Keeping it out of the way
Cassette units sit flush in a suspended ceiling; ducted units disappear above it; wall units suit stockrooms and back offices. Outdoor units go to a roof, rear yard or wall bracket, depending on the unit and the landlord’s agreement.
Leases and landlords
If you are a tenant, you will normally need your landlord’s consent for external units and pipework. We can supply the drawings and specification you need to ask for it.
Common questions.
Can you work around shop opening hours?
Yes. Most retail installations are carried out before opening, in the evening or on closed days.
Do I need landlord consent?
Normally yes for external equipment. We can provide a specification to support the request.

Call, message or send the form. We reply the same working day wherever we can.
