Commercial Air Conditioning Systems
The dual heating and cooling functionality of modern climate control air conditioning units helps businesses create and maintain an optimum environment for specific stock or machinery. It also ensures spaces are comfortable for staff and visitors throughout the year.
Why Choose OKEL for Air Conditioning Systems?
Better Air Quality: Workplaces can be a breeding ground for coughs and colds, which in turn increases employee absenteeism and affects productivity levels. Thankfully, air conditioning units feature filters that purify the air and reduce bacteria, dust particles, odours and potential allergens.
Equipment Protection: Many workplaces have technology and equipment that generate lots of heat from their motors. Air conditioning can remove the unwanted heat and humidity to provide the necessary protection.
Temperature Control: Air conditioning can maintain a comfortable and consistent temperature all year round. Although most people think air conditioning is only of benefit in the summer months, it can also warm the air during the winter.
Work Force Morale: Along with being a health and safety requirement, a comfortable working temperature has been shown to lead to a happier and more productive work force.
Energy Efficiency: Modern air conditioning systems are built to be environmentally friendly and energy efficient. By installing a modern system, you will see a reduction in your energy bills whilst lowering your company’s carbon footprint.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Air Conditioning?
Air conditioning functions as a heat transfer mechanism, systematically removing unwanted heat and humidity from indoor environments and dissipating it externally. Heat is consistently extracted from the interior and expelled to the exterior, ensuring a sustained and controlled cooling effect within the enclosed space. This cyclical process persists, with the refrigerant continually circulating between the indoor and outdoor units.
- How often Should Air Conditioning Units be Serviced in the UK?
In the UK, it is generally recommended to have air conditioning units serviced annually. Regular maintenance helps ensure that the system operates efficiently, maintains optimal performance, and extends its lifespan. The best time to schedule a service is typically before the summer season, as this ensures that the unit is in top condition when you need it the most.
- How Long do Air Conditioning Units Last in the UK?
The lifespan of an air conditioning unit in the UK can vary depending on factors such as the type of system, the quality of installation, usage patterns, and maintenance. On average, well-maintained air conditioning units can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or more.
- How Much do Commercial Air Conditioning units Cost in the UK?
The cost of commercial air conditioning units in the UK can vary widely depending on several factors, including the size of the space to be cooled, the type and capacity of the system, installation requirements, and the specific features of the chosen unit.
