The Scale: Full Showroom HVAC Modernisation
We were commissioned to provide a comprehensive climate control upgrade for a prestigious Mercedes-Benz car showroom undergoing a total refurbishment. Managing two floors of high-end retail space, our team executed a complete equipment overhaul to ensure the showroom environment matches the premium quality of the vehicles on display.
Phase 1: Safe Decommissioning & F-Gas Compliance
The first stage of this multi-floor project required the safe removal of 15 legacy indoor fan coils. As recovery specialists, we ensured all refrigerant was handled according to strict environmental protocols.
- Systematic Degassing: All 15 existing indoor units were professionally de-gassed, with refrigerant safely recovered to prevent any atmospheric discharge.
- Infrastructure Assessment: Before the installation of new equipment, we conducted a technical audit of the existing pipework to verify its integrity for modern, high-pressure refrigerants.
- Site Preparation: Our engineers coordinated with the wider refurbishment teams to clear the way for a seamless transition to the new hardware.
Phase 2: High-Performance Second-Fix Installation
The project transitioned into the installation of 15 all-new indoor fan coil units across the ground and first-floor showrooms. Technical precision was paramount to ensure the systems integrated perfectly with the new high-end finishes.
- Precise Unit Positioning: New indoor equipment was strategically mounted to provide optimal airflow across the large glass frontages and display areas.
- Professional Ceiling Integration: Each unit was secured with reinforced suspensions, ensuring a flush and stable fit within the revamped architectural ceiling.
- Parallel Service Management: All new electrical and refrigerant connections were routed with meticulous care, avoiding “hashed” finishes and maintaining a clean showroom aesthetic.
Phase 3: Technical Commissioning & Performance Run
The final product is a two-floor, fully operational climate control system providing year-round comfort for both staff and customers.
- Digital System Calibration: Using high-precision digital manifolds, our engineers calibrated the new system to its peak operational parameters for maximum energy efficiency.
- All-Season Testing: Rigorous performance runs were conducted to verify that both the heating and cooling functions achieved design temperatures rapidly.
- Operational Handover: The showroom now features a reliable, industrial-grade HVAC system that provides cooling in the summer and consistent heating in the winter.
