Overview

A prominent builders merchants in the Cotswolds appointed ARH to install a new wall-mounted air conditioning unit in their office. The installation aimed to improve comfort for staff and visitors without interrupting daily operations.

The challenge

The office area lacked effective climate control, leading to inconsistent temperatures that affected staff comfort and productivity. The client required a reliable solution delivered quickly and safely within a live working environment.

Our approach

ARH recommended and installed a Mitsubishi 7kW R32 wall-mounted indoor unit, supported by a matching inverter condenser. The system was selected for its energy efficiency and suitability for the office size.

Our engineers attended during normal working hours, completing all inductions, permits, and site safety requirements. Safety barriers and signage were installed to restrict access.

New R32-compatible pipework and containment were laid between the indoor and outdoor units. A dedicated power circuit and condensate pipework with pump were also installed. The system was pressure tested with oxygen-free nitrogen, leak-checked, evacuated, and recharged to the correct refrigerant volume.

Once fully commissioned, ARH provided a system demonstration and completed all relevant F-Gas documentation. Waste materials and old equipment were removed, and the site was left clean and operational.

The results

  • Improved office comfort for staff and visitors
  • Energy-efficient system supporting year-round climate control
  • No disruption to normal operations during installation
  • Fully compliant with environmental and safety standards
