Air Control & Development Ltd
Air Conditioning...
Air conditioning is based on the precise control of temperature, humidity, air flow and air cleanliness. Air conditioning regulates these elements to provide a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere.
Cooling: excess room heat is absorbed by refrigerant that is sealed within the system. As the refrigerant in the indoor unit absorbs the room heat, it changes into a gas, which is carried through small, copper tubes to an outdoor unit, which releases heat into the atmosphere. The gas is converted into liquid again and flows back to the indoor unit where air is fanned over it and out into the room. This cycle is repeated until the pre-set temperature is reached.
Heating Mode: Heat pump units allow the above cycle to be reversed. A heat pump extracts "free" heat from the outdoor air, even on the coldest days when the outside temperature may fall as low as -10°C, and transfers the heat indoors. Heat pump units allow you to cool and heat with the same unit.
Our qualified engineers carry out a full survey before a system is designed. The most appropriate equipment is selected for individual requirements for any project.
All necessary calculations are carried out in-house, by use of a computerised system, which takes into consideration heat gains from lighting, equipment and occupancy, etc. Drawings are prepared on AutoCAD and can be submitted upon request for approval by local authorities, landlords and shopping centre management.
Installations are carried out to the highest standards complying with appropriate industry guidelines, CDM, local authority and landlord’s requirements. We are approved installers of leading names in air conditioning and heating equipment for every application.
Once a project has been completed, our engineers will test and commission the system in accordance with manufacturers' recommendations. Operation of each system is demonstrated and handed over with all necessary warranty documentation, operating instructions and as fitted drawings.
Heat pump units allow you to cool and heat with the same unit. Air Control & Development Ltd will advise the most appropriate equipment to be selected, which will enable savings to be made for an installation through the use of a Government approved ECA scheme.

Ventilation...
Requirement is defined as the amount of outdoor air (fresh air) to be supplied to a space in order to meet the criteria associated with the use of that space. The amount of ventilation needed is determined by the required air change rate, which is determined by the use of the space, air quality and occupancy. Ventilation of retail premises, workplaces and public buildings is becoming more important as Local Authority regulations become more stringent.
Service & Maintenance...
All systems are provided with a period of warranty, but regular maintenance is essential to ensure smooth, continuous operation, to maximise running costs and to ensure peace of mind. A nation-wide team of engineers who can attend quickly to any problems that may arise backs our service and we can offer a competitively priced package to suit individual needs.
Peace of Mind...
All designs are carried out by HNC / HND qualified personnel guaranteeing all CIBSE guidelines are adhered to and any other building regulations, landlord, local authority or any other legal requirements are taken into account before a scheme is quoted.
Air Control & Development Ltd only use air conditioning equipment provided by leading manufacturers such as Toshiba, Carrier, Mitsubishi and is in Partnership with Daikin Air Conditioning. This ensures that we are able to offer the most up-to date equipment, using the latest technology and refrigerant gas available ensuring that any installation conforms to government guidelines. We offer between one and five years warranty on equipment and one year's labour warranty on all installations providing our customers the peace of mind they deserve.
As our continual success depends on referrals and recommendations we continually develop and train our staff ensuring that we are always at the forefront of our industry. This is combined with a training process for all Health & Safety aspects of the industry. Although singularly the most important part of one of our installations, price/quality does not reflect the investment within a company for Health & Safety. Air Control & Development Ltd is proud of its record of never having a single reportable accident.
Due to our commitment to our quality of work and Health & Safety, we are associate members of the National Association of Shopfitters (NAS) and the Heating & Ventilation Contractors Association (HVCA) and conform to stringent guidelines. The HVCA carries out visits to members' offices to ensure that they have all the correct procedures in place and can terminate membership of companies that do not comply with their standards.
