Air Conditioning Installers for Shops & Retail

Retail Air Conditioning

Customers entering a shop need to feel instantly comfortable and one of the best ways to do that is through effective air conditioning. This is even more important when the warm weather comes along, as customers who get too hot are likely to become frustrated and leave the premises.

Our air conditioning units for shops not only keep your customers cool in the summer but they can maintain a warm and comfortable temperature throughout the year. Here at Climachill, we provide bespoke shop air conditioning installation in Sussex, Surrey and the wider South East area.

Air conditioning for shops in Sussex

Our air conditioning solutions ensure that your shop provides the perfect climate for your customers to browse comfortably and your staff to perform their duties. We take the room size and shape into consideration to ensure that our units are working at the optimal level. This means we won’t recommend just one unit trying to control the temperature of an entire shop floor, creating cold and hot spots.

Besides the size of the space, we also find heating and cooling solutions based on the layout of your shop. For instance, installing a unit directly in front of a checkout or changing room and blasting air at customers wouldn’t be optimal positioning. If you are in need of shop air conditioning then get in touch via 01273 803820 or our contact page for a consultation tailored to your requirements.

From the moment I contacted the team, Scarlett went above and beyond to help me with my air conditioning unit. Her work ethic, professionalism and willingness to help were genuinely impressive. She was incredibly friendly, patient and knowledgeable, and made sure that my issue was dealt with properly rather than simply brushing it aside.

It’s rare to come across someone who clearly takes so much pride in their work and genuinely cares about giving customers a great experience. Scarlett is a real credit to ClimaChill and deserves recognition for the effort she puts in.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend ClimaChill to anyone, and if you’re lucky enough to deal with Scarlett, you know you’re in good hands

Our service engineers come equipped with the latest diagnostics tools, ensuring if there is ever a problem that we get to the heart of it in minimal time.

Wall-mounted air conditioning units for shops

Shops looking for a cost-effective solution to their air conditioning needs ought to consider wall-mounted units. These are a common shop installation because they require minimal retrofitting and can be installed without the need to redecorate.

When positioned high on a wall, these units allow for cooling airflow to evenly circulate through your shop. Ensuring your customers remain cool and calm is important, and a wall-mounted air conditioning unit creates balanced climate control at a minimal cost.

Ducted air conditioning units

Shop air conditioning installations don’t come better than a ducted unit, which is installed in the ceiling and is aesthetically the most pleasing. These units are fitted using ducts that run above the ceiling and can be used to control multiple rooms at a time. By hiding the units away in a false ceiling all your customers will see on your shop floor is a neat grille in the ceiling.

Ceiling-mounted air conditioning

We understand that in a shop wall space is at a premium which is why we can provide ceiling-mounted air conditioning units. These are a great choice because they won’t impact the visuals in your store, meaning they won’t distract your customers from your stock and products. Ceiling-mounted air conditioning units generate a powerful level of airflow, allowing for maximum comfort and temperature control.

Portable air conditioning units

As shop air conditioning suppliers in Guildford and Brighton, we provide cooling, heating and airflow solutions to meet all of our clients’ needs. This includes portable air conditioning, which can be moved and installed in a variety of locations.

Perhaps you do not own the premises your store is in, but you would still like some air conditioning to make your shop floor more comfortable. With no installation required and with a lower cost than installed air conditioning, our portable units make a great short-term solution.

What commercial properties do you install air conditioning in?: We provide air conditioning installations to Sussex and the South East in a wide variety of properties. From offices and shops to server rooms, doctors and schools, we can improve the air quality of just about any commercial unit. Our engineers are qualified to install any type of air conditioning unit and are FGAS-certified.
How cold can a portable air conditioner make a shop?: A portable air conditioner that is adequate for the size of a room is designed to reduce the temperature by approximately four degrees of the outside ambient temperature. But an underpowered unit will not achieve this so you must buy the right sized portable air conditioner for the space. If you are unsure of what size air conditioner you require, our expert staff will be happy to help.
How often should you service your air conditioning?: We offer a full range of after-sales care for all our installed systems and our qualified engineers carry out repairs for all major brand systems. Air conditioning units in commercial premises should be serviced at least twice per year, or more if they are in high polluting locations such as kitchens or workshops. If your air conditioning unit needs a service or repairs, our service team is on hand to assist.

We would like to thank your company for the reliable service provided with our air conditioning systems over the last few years. The original purchase was handled smoothly and you have always been most accommodating whenever we have needed further assistance. During our recent renovation, your company was easy to contact, quick to respond and most helpful in relocating the equipment.

After contacting several Air Conditioning Suppliers who failed to turn up, I managed to locate Climachill who carried out a site survey and installed the air conditioning to regulate the temperature in my server room, all within 21 days of the initial contact with minimal disruption. This included the installation of additional electrics to cope with the extra power draw from the 3 air conditioning units and the removal of a double glazed window for the triple extraction system. I have found Climachill’s service efficient and professional and have no hesitation in recommending them.

From installation through to ongoing maintenance I have found all at Climachill to be most helpful and efficient in all of my dealings with them. We have had no issues whatsoever with our system that they installed and it has been extremely effective in managing costs both in summer and through the winter whilst keeping us cool and warm respectively.

Climachill fitted full air conditioning to our office premises which is a converted barn in Glynde near Lewes. We received the highest level of service right through from them providing a very competitive quotation through to the complete installation. It has transformed our working environment when we end up with extreme temperatures at either end of the scale and so much so that I have installed an air conditioning system at my own house, again which Climachill have completed to an excellent standard.

Kieran Connolly

Managing Director, Blockbusters Contracts, Glynde

Many thanks for carrying out such a quick and professional job here last week, we are pleased that we chose Climachill over the competition for our air-conditioning installation. As for your competitors, we chose Climachill not only because, on a like for like basis (5&7kw units) you were cheaper but because you came across as the most professional when you visited us initially to make the site survey and discuss our requirements.
