Making Dental Practices More Comfortable

Andrews Sykes Air Conditioning Services – helping with the patient experience

Keeping patients and staff comfortable at all times is imperative for creating a calm and serene environment, especially within a dental practice. A bright, airy waiting room, an area for children to play and magazines or books for adult patients can go some way towards creating an inviting environment – but installing air conditioning will further enhance patient comfort, helping to reduce anxiety.

Comfort isn’t just about considerate treatment

Air conditioning within a dental practice offers a number of benefits. Air conditioning allows for temperature to be controlled, keeping it cool throughout the summer and warmer in the winter. Temperature control is a key comfort factor and ensuring patients and staff are comfortable it also boosts productivity, as well as presenting patients who are more relaxed. read more

Q & A – My air conditioning came with a manufacturer’s warranty so why do I need a maintenance contract?

Manufacturers’ warranties are always dependent upon the equipment having been used in accordance with their recommendations and having been maintained according to their specifications. It is similar to a car manufacturer’s requirements that a user ensures routine servicing is carried out during any warranty period. A Planned Maintenance Contract from a manufacturer-accredited service provider ensures manufacturer’s warranties remain valid and can often be extended to cover several years.

Q & A – What is F-Gas?

F-Gas is a term used to describe any of a range of fluorinated gases such as CFCs, HFCs and HCFCs which are, or have been in the past, widely used in refrigeration-related applications such as air conditioning. Some F-gases are ozone-depleting whilst others are known to contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming.

The F-Gas Regulations are EU legislation designed to strictly limit the release of F-gases into the atmosphere. By law, all air conditioning systems containing over 3kg of F-Gas refrigerant must be checked for damage and leaks at least once per year by an F-Gas certified contractor. Andrews Air Conditioning Services holds F-Gas certification accredited by REFCOM and approved by DEFRA and our annual F-gas checks and certification can be incorporated into one of our Planned Maintenance Contracts. read more
