Refrigeration plant, installed to run and keep running
We install, upgrade and commission commercial and industrial refrigeration — coolrooms, freezer rooms, rack systems and process cooling — built to the design, tested before it is charged, and handed over with the records to prove it.
What this covers
New plant installation
Coolrooms, freezer rooms, remote condensing units, rack systems and process chillers, installed to a documented design rather than a best guess on the day.
Natural refrigerant systems
Transcritical CO₂ (R744), ammonia (R717) and hydrocarbon (R290) systems — the refrigerants that sit outside the HFC phase-down.
Upgrades and refrigerant transitions
Replacing or converting ageing HFC plant, planned around your trading hours so product stays at temperature through the changeover.
Pipework, controls and electrical integration
Refrigeration pipework, electronic expansion valves, case and room controllers, and the monitoring that tells you when something drifts.
Commissioning and handover
Pressure testing, evacuation, charging, setpoint tuning and a handover pack — as-built details, settings and service records — so the next technician starts with facts.
Built from the design, not around it
Most refrigeration problems are installed on day one: an undersized evaporator, a long suction line nobody calculated, a controller left on factory settings. We install from a documented design — ours, or your consultant’s — and we check the numbers before the pipework goes up.
Tested before it is trusted
Every system is pressure tested and evacuated before it sees refrigerant. It is commissioned against the design conditions, not just until the room gets cold. You get the settings, the test results and the as-built details at handover.
Planned around your operation
A coolroom that feeds a kitchen or a production line cannot simply be switched off. Upgrades and changeovers are staged so product has somewhere to go, and the work is scheduled around your trading hours.
