Roof Top Unit Installation, Chelsea

Most retailers now must comply with climate change legislation if they use air conditioning systems. Each retailer needs to undergo a legally required independent Energy Performance Air Conditioning Inspection process and carry out remedial work or upgrade equipment to comply with the legislation. Air conditioning is an overhead, but retailers these days need to give customers a pleasant environment to shop in or else they may go elsewhere. Anything that helps to retain a customer in the shop is essential in these competitive times.

There are also practical reasons for certain retailers to have an ambient temperature because of the nature of the products they are selling. This project for Sevenoaks Sound and Vision was to replace a roof top air conditioning unit. They sell a variety of electrical and electronic appliances that all generate heat so consequently with many demonstration models switched on in the show room, cooling is necessary to avoid the products overheating. When electrical units are clustered together such as computer servers in computer rooms or retail stores, they generate a lot of heat. These spaces need cooling to avoid heat build-up that will cause either malfunction or shut down of these units. Good air conditioning will protect the appliances and give comfort to staff and customers.

Good companies like Sevenoaks Sound and Vision comply with legislation and control their environment safely for the products it sells, while giving an excellent customer experience. From our point of view, it was greatly satisfying for us to complete this project even though the location was challenging (the views from the roof over London were great though!) We have good relationships with all our retail clients and have advised many of the best solution to fit their needs and comply with the legislation.
