Expert temporary air conditioning advice from our team
First, accurate load calculations are essential to determine the correct cooling capacity. We have specialist systems to calculate this for you based on the space you need to cool, occupancy levels and the type of space. For example, a workshop with heat generating industrial equipment will require a different solution than a school hall, even if they are the same size. The positioning of the portable air conditioning units are also important and we can map the solution to your space to provide precision cool air, exactly where you need it.
