Commercial Kitchen Air Conditioning

Nobody wants to sit in a hot, humid restaurant, that’s why most restaurants have air conditioning installed, not just for temperature control but to also release clean air throughout their restaurant to filter out dust and smells.

Being able to control the air flow and temperature of your restaurant will make it a much more desirable place for customers as they can be comfortable all year round, no matter if it’s 30℃ outside or -30℃. Our range of commercial kitchen air conditioning units come with a range of features that you can easily control, with simple settings to ensure staff and customers can work and eat in a comfortable environment.

Types of Restaurant Air Conditioning

Commercial kitchen air conditioning systems have many different variations in quality, price, and features, and that’s why it might not be 100% clear which one is right for your circumstances. If you’re struggling to understand which what air conditioning unit would work for your restaurant, then this guide should help you decide.

Wall mounted Units:

Wall mounted air conditioning units are the most common type of air conditioning. They are cost effective and can be installed in almost any property. Another advantage of wall mounted air con units is the directness and speed they can heat or cool a space.

They are easily maintained and can be done less frequently than most other residential air conditioning systems as all you need to do is keep the filters clean!

Wall mounted air conditioning systems are an all-rounder financially. The installation costs are some of the cheapest of all air conditioning units and the running cost isn’t too expensive either.

These systems have great cooling power and are also environmentally friendly so if you’re looking to install one in your home, call us today!

Cost: £1000+

Cassette Units:

Cassette Air Conditioning Unit

Cassette air conditioning units are a popular choice for offices and retail spaces with grid ceilings. Ceiling air conditioning units can blow out air in all four directions, without eliminating valuable wall space.

These systems are targeted towards commercial premises due to their size and power. Thankfully these systems can be hidden in a suspended ceiling, so nobody has to see anything other than the vents and it doesn’t take up any wall or floor space.

Commercial air conditioning systems are usually hard to maintain and usually need a qualified person to go in and clean. However, cassette air conditioning units are an exception as this system has easily replaceable filters and you just need to keep it free from dust.

The cassette air conditioning unit is very quiet and fast working so you can cool down the room quickly without your employees or customers having to talk over any loud humming or blowing.

Cost: £1500+

Floor Mounted Units:

Floor mounted air conditioning systems are a type of residential cooling solution that is easily maintained due to its floor access and its inexpensive to install and run.

If you’re thinking of getting a floor mounted air conditioning unit, please consider the placement of it. When placing your unit you need to make sure that there isn’t too many things limiting the air flow of the unit. If there’s too much furniture blocking your lovely cool air, you can’t reap the benefits.

If you’re interested in getting a floor mounted air conditioning unit, we can help recommend the right area in your home and talk you through the process. Give our team a call today to find out more!

Ducted Systems:

Ducted systems are a very versatile air conditioning system due to the fact that they can be used in both residential and commercial buildings.

When installed in commercial settings, this unit can get a little more expensive due to the need for extra ducts and grills but installation for this type of unit is relatively inexpensive. This unit also needs regular maintenance done by professionals due to its complicated ducted systems.

This unit is the best choice if you’re looking for a low profile look with great efficiency and air quality.

If you’re having difficulties deciding on what air conditioning system is right for you then please get in touch with us today. Our team are highly knowledgeable about the units we offer so we can help you to make the right decision for your home or your business.

Multi-Split and VRF/VRV Systems:

If its a large building you’re looking to condition, VRF air conditioning systems are for you. One outdoor unit can control up to 64 indoor units! Multi air conditioning systems enable individual control of the temperature in each room, to maximise comfort while keeping running costs to a minimum. Air conditioning systems are often used as a replacement for central heating in commercial properties as they provide incredibly efficient year round temperature control.

Cost: subject to survey

Ceiling Mounted Units:

Floor Mount Air Con Unit

Ceiling mounted air conditioning units are a great solution to commercial cooling as they can blow cool air in 4 different directions so you don’t have any hot spots and can be hidden within a suspended ceiling.

The installation for ceiling mounted units is very quick and is reasonably inexpensive for a commercial unit that’s why it’s the go-to choice for most retail and restaurant businesses.

Maintenance for these units is minimal as it should function for years without any issues. All you need to do is regularly wipe the outer unit to prevent a build-up of dust entering the system.

Does my restaurant need air conditioning?

Aside from keeping your staff and customers cool and comfortable, there’s much more to air conditioning and ventilation within a commercial kitchen then just temperature. What many restaurants’ owners may – or may not know, is the air pollution that restaurants contribute towards.

A 2019 article reported by The Guardian, described how commercial cooking was contributing to around 13% of particle pollution in London alone and that many of these emissions are mostly ignored in regards to the wider conversation, however there are small changes you can make in your commercial kitchen that not only benefit your indoor space but the planet too.

The pollution issue can also go hand-in-hand with ventilation, which has never been more important due to Covid-19. Tackling the issue of keeping your restaurant safe indoors can be supported by professionally installed air conditioning and ventilation which will help to deter odours, dust and air particles when it’s time to re-open.

Air conditioning in your restaurant is a legal requirement

It’s a legal requirement for employers to provide adequate and suitable ventilation in an enclosed workplace. Ventilation can be achieved by several methods such as opening windows and doors to allow fresh air to pass through your premises or by installing air conditioning units, fans or ducts which brings fresh air in from outside.

For official information on ventilation and air conditioning during coronavirus, we recommend viewing the advice provided by HSE.gov.uk.

Commonly used air conditioning for restaurants

There are several types of air conditioning units that can be used effectively in both small and large spaces. You’ll find most restaurants tend to go for wall-mounted air conditioners as they both save space and provide the necessary ventilation that can be controlled to provide a suitable temperature to customers and employees.

Multiple units are often used for larger restaurants which are evenly spaced around the dining area to encourage a consistent flow of fresh air. For smaller restaurants, have one main unit that’s placed centrally or have a couple evenly spaced can produce the same effective ventilation required.

Restaurant Case Study

We were called out to take a look at a very old air conditioning system in a restaurant in Chesterfield. The system hadn’t worked for years and the owner wanted advise on the best course of action. The previous year had faced them with several bad reviews from customers due to the uncomfortable temperatures in the restaurant during summer and they didn’t want a repeat again this year.

The system was low on pressure & on R22 (a banned gas) not only this but the unit had several other faulty components. We proposed to replace the system with a new Midea system that would not only be a higher power but also much more efficient than the last, giving better performance and lower bills!

To keep disruption to a minimum the installation was carried out “out of hours” – this meant that there was no loss of trading for the restaurant.

After decommissioning the old system, we had to cut out the ceiling back of house and remove the ducted unit from inside the void. In its place we then fitted the new indoor unit and altered the pipe work and ducting to suit.

The old condensing unit was very large and required a genie lift to remove it and then install the new one. After commissioning we re-boarded the ceiling and had it professionally plastered.

The new system was up and running within a few days, giving the restaurant heating and cooling for year round comfort, alongside our 5 year warranty for peace of mind for our client.
