With temperatures looking set to surge regularly above 30 deg C from June to August in the UK this year and the Met Office forecasting a ‘barbecue summer’, air conditioning hire specialist Chillers4Hire can provide building owners, facilities managers and contractors, a range of temporary cooling solutions when indoor temperatures cannot be maintained by installed air conditioning systems.

Unfortunately, this Summer’s heatwave is just an added burden to many already struggling air conditioning systems, since increased building loads are already affecting indoor temperatures. With air conditioning loads in older buildings steadily rising due to increased staffing levels, heat generating equipment, and servers, many air conditioning systems are now straining to cope even without the effect of pending summer temperatures.

“Existing air conditioning plant might just cope in the winter months but could struggle once outdoor temperatures start to rise. It is not just an increased building population that systems have to cope with but the greater use of heat generating business equipment and the installation of faster, more powerful servers,” explains Ken Mitchell Warnock, Climate4Hire's Managing Director.

“All these factors lead to an air conditioning system which is no longer fit for purpose, since the building’s initial heat loads can have increased significantly. The summer months are going to cause even more distress unless something can be done to support the installed air conditioning capacity,” he adds.

Robust air conditioning is now essential in many commercial buildings and is critical not just in heavily loaded server rooms, but in comfort applications within modern sealed buildings, and in operating theatres and other temperature dependant facilities where air conditioning failure puts business and people in serious jeopardy. Companies therefore need to carefully consider how to protect their businesses in the event that their installed air conditioning system is unable to cope or just fails completely.

Hiring a temporary air conditioning system can overcome all of these business threats and is a good solution for contractors to offer their clients. Hire equipment can maintain the integrity of the building’s air conditioning requirements, providing comfort cooling as well as the right temperature conditions for computers and servers to continue to operate safely and reliably.

It is in precisely these critical situations that Coolmation group company Climate4Hire Ltd performs best, providing modern, reliable and efficient air conditioning hire equipment. With years’ of cooling and air conditioning experience, Climate4Hire offers the expertise and experience to determine the best temporary air conditioning solution for an application while weighing up costs of hire against business disruption.

Temporary air conditioning systems can be supplied, delivered and installed nationwide by dedicated installation and commissioning teams, backed up, when required, by 24/7 support. Climate4Hire has developed a range of hire equipment to suit temporary needs for comfort cooling, cooling within rooms containing heat sensitive products and equipment, such as servers and computers, industrial processes, providing temporary air conditioning solutions which can be delivered and installed fast to limit business disruption.

All of these services are underpinned by the Coolmation Group’s 30 years’ experience in the business of comfort, and close control air conditioning and industrial and process cooling, which Climate4Hire Ltd believes sets it apart from a typical plant or tool hire company with an air conditioning hire fleet.

Coolmation Group companies are quality assured with ISO 9001:2008 certification and where appropriate, have Refcom refrigerant handling, ISO 14001, and management and Safe Contractor accreditations.

Coolmation is the exclusive UK distributor for Eurovent certified low energy Rhoss chillers and air side equipment, much of which goes to make up the chiller and air conditioning hire fleets. This means hirers can be reassured that the company they are dealing with knows its equipment inside out.
