HOTTEST DAY OF THE YEAR RESULTS IN 85%
INCREASE IN COMMERCIAL AIR CONDITIONING AND
REFRIGERATION EMERGENCY CALLOUTS
With forecasters predicting record Summer
temperatures of up to 40 degrees this year,
the UK could be looking forward to a glorious
summer. But, some businesses are about to
enter the season of broken air conditioning
units and refrigeration systems and, with this,
potentially su er sta and customer frustration,
lower productivity, spoiled stock and profit
losses as a result.
As we’ve recently seen, the mercury can rise
rapidly, causing ambient air temperatures to
increase beyond comfortable levels. This puts
extreme pressure on air conditioning units and
refrigeration systems which, if they haven’t been
serviced and maintained, can result in unexpected
failures, and unpredictable costs. Unfortunately,
when this occurs to one business, it o en happens
to many others simultaneously.
Flowrite runs a 24/7 helpdesk, directing a mobile
service team of over 100 engineers across the UK,
so help is never far away.
50 AUGUST 2019
With air conditioning now regarded more as a
necessity than a luxury, and refrigeration systems
being crucial to many businesses, any unexpected
equipment downtime can cause frustration of sta
and customers, loss of productivity and stock and,
ultimately, reduced revenue.
“If they are well maintained, commercial air
conditioning units and refrigeration systems rarely
fail,” comments Tod Harrison, CEO at Flowrite
Services Ltd. “The question business owners
need to ask themselves is what is the cost to their
business when equipment does fail unexpectedly.
We are advising our customers to book a Summer
Check-Up before things really heat up, as the cost
of an emergency callout and resultant repair works
- in addition to the potential cost to their business
- is always more than any planned maintenance
works.”
In addition to preparing for Summer, businesses
also need to be aware of the F-Gas regulations
and how it will a ect their organisation. Many air
conditioning and refrigeration systems use HFC
refrigerants, for example R-404A, which have a
very high global warming impact if released into
the atmosphere. As of 1 January 2020, the greatest
impact to businesses will be the ban on using these
in the servicing of air conditioning and refrigeration
systems. During a Summer Check-Up, Flowrite can
review existing air conditioning systems and advise
what businesses need to do to be compliant with
the F-Gas regulations.
