Cool Sounds

Phono Nightclub is an increasingly popular Leeds nightspot but the owners didn’t want it to become too much of a hotspot. They called in Andrews Air Conditioning Services who designed an elegant and unobtrusive air conditioning solution, in keeping with Phono’s sophisticated ambience and clientele.

The installation process was complicated because the nightclub occupies several levels on a heavily sloping site’, explained Andrews Business Development Manager, Neil Preston. ‘Limited space for the external condensers necessitated careful consideration of the pipework routes read more

Is Your Air Conditioning an Environmental Risk?

If your air conditioning is over 10 years old it probably uses R22 refrigerant, an ozone-depleting CFC which must be phased out by law.

Andrews Air Conditioning is at the forefront of efforts to help owners, operators and users of air conditioning systems understand their legal obligations. The good news is that modern, replacement air conditioning not only uses ozone-friendly refrigerants but is also highly energy efficient and cost effective.

If you’re not sure whether you have R22 inside your air conditioning, don’t get hot and bothered, just visit www.airconditioningservices.com/r22-replacement/ to download the brand new R22 Replacement App, or call 0800 731 8833 for a free R22 survey. read more

Lower Cost Air Conditioning with Replacement Technology

Replacing air conditioning can be a major upheaval involving disruption and disturbance to your premises, plus extended periods without your vital cooling or heating. There never seems to be a good time – until now.

‘’With Replacement Technology from Andrews Air Conditioning Services we can replace your air conditioning system* without disturbing any of your delicate wall, floor or ceiling finishes,’’ explains Alasdair McLean, National Project Manager for Andrews Air Conditioning Services. ‘‘It’s faster, cleaner and far less disruptive because the original pipework stays in place.

You Know How Valuable Your Air Conditioning Is. So Do They!

The price of metals such as copper has increased considerably in recent times. That also increases the scrap value of anything containing copper – your air conditioning for instance. Air conditioners and their associated pipework contain lots of copper, making them particularly vulnerable to thieves. If thieves do strike you’ll be left with the costs of replacing the equipment, the refrigerant and, most importantly of all, the disruption to your premises or business.

‘’That’s why Andrews Air Conditioning Services helps you to protect yourself with a wide range of added-value security devices including anti-tamper alarms, condenser protection cages, pipework covers and non-copper pipework’’, says Tom Kelley, National Service Manager at Andrews Air Conditioning Services. read more

Michelin Replaces Tired Air Conditioning

As part of a major investment in their Dundee tyre manufacturing facility, Michelin Tyre plc contacted Andrews Air Conditioning Services to decommission and remove an aged packaged system. The existing installation, supplying critical cooling to the site’s IT suite, no longer met the stringent performance specification required by Michelin UK. It was found to contain the ozone-depleting R22 refrigerant which is being rapidly phased out.

Andrews Air Conditioning Services removed the obsolete units and replaced them with two Toshiba under-ceiling systems, featuring an auto restart function to ensure rapid restoration of air conditioning following a power failure. The sophisticated systems also interface with the building’s fire panel, ensuring the systems shut down immediately in the event of a fire alarm. New production equipment is being installed at the Dundee plant which will enable it to manufacture the latest generation of car tyres. read more

R22 Scrappage Scheme

We are all familiar with scrappage schemes for old cars and boilers. But here’s something new – The Andrews Air Conditioning Scrappage Scheme.

Any air conditioning over 10 years old probably uses R22 refrigerant, an ozone-depleting CFC which is now banned. By law R22 systems will become unserviceable at the end of 2014 – spare parts are already in short supply and increasingly expensive.

The Andrews Air Conditioning Scrappage Scheme gives you a massive £150 scrappage allowance towards your new air conditioning for every R22 system we replace* when you take out a Planned Maintenance Contract with us. And all our new air conditioning is ozone-friendly, highly energy-efficient and comes with up to 5 years warranty. read more
