LEISURE & RETAIL
for which you are accountable remain comfortable at all times. Workplace regulations place a legal requirement on businesses to keep temperatures cool during the summer months but warm enough throughout winter.
When subjected to excessively warm conditions, your members of staff are at a far greater risk of suffering headaches, dizziness and similar complaints – all of which are directly linked to the absence of cool air. Similarly, cold temperatures sap morale and reduce productivity. Losing employees due to illness will further hamper long- term output, but all these scenarios are entirely avoidable if the appropriate steps are taken.
So why hire? Hiring heating or air conditioning units on a short-term basis has several advantages over buying outright. At Andrews, we understand the strict budget constraints that exist at most companies, so acquiring high value assets can often be a poor use of limited financial resources. The flexibility afforded to customers who rent equipment means that it can be removed as soon as any extreme seasonal temperatures subside. Should circumstances change unexpectedly, the quantity and capacity of units on your site can quickly be altered to accommodate the present requirement.
This adaptable arrangement also circumvents the often-protracted process of getting capital expenditure authorised for any equipment purchase. As a company, we are constantly updating our fleet to ensure it incorporates the most up-to-date technology available. By doing so, we guarantee to offer our clients fully compliant, energy- efficient products which have been specifically designed for office settings and similar applications.
Planning ahead By recognising that heating equipment will be required before the winter season arrives, facilities managers have more time to source and secure the right solution. In order to simplify this procedure, specialist engineers should be on hand to conduct a free site survey to establish the equipment configuration. This allows them to identify which units are most suitable for the building or space in question.
Although a permanent heating system is installed in almost every facility – with air conditioning also installed

in many – supplementary components are often required to work alongside what is there already.
Service and maintenance Perhaps the main benefit of renting a heating solution on a temporary basis is not having to concern yourself with any maintenance or repair works. As part of any contract you have in place with a supplier, you should ensure their technicians are on call 24 hours a day to support you in the event of a breakdown. This service ought to come at no extra cost and will afford your customers complete peace of mind.
When a fixed system undergoes a period of planned upkeep, durable yet economical HVAC units represent the perfect replacement while necessary repairs are carried out. This equipment will therefore deliver a comfortable environment until scheduled work has concluded. Outdoor temperatures may fluctuate on a day-to-day basis but with a rapid response to emergencies, your client’s business will continue to function normally.
