We all know that entertaining guests, whatever the Event may be, is a very special occasion.
Events organisers, and their guests demand good food and wines. But what about the ambient conditions? Too hot, too cold, too sweaty or too draughty and guests can forget their lavish surroundings and become distracted and uncomfortable. Everything has to be exactly right, if the event is to be a memorable one, including the environment! we specialise in the control of temperature, thus creating the right atmosphere for your event, large or small, inside or out of doors.
A company training day, birthday, or wedding; a sporting extravaganza, cultural event or Corporate Day out; you and your guests need to be comfortable. We can provide you with the portable air conditioning, climate control or heating for your event, whatever it is. Whatever and whenever your event - when it's cold outside, we can provide a warm welcome and create a comfortable setting: when it's warm we can cool you (not your event) down.

Evaporative coolers provide a cooling effect by natural evaporation, in the process increasing relative humidity. Fans and air movers increase cooling through air circulation. Evaporative air conditioners do not have a compressor or condenser. Instead, liquid water or ice is poured into a tank and air movement releases this as vapour. Because they do not have a refrigeration circuit, they do not need hoses or pipes, allowing them to be truly portable.
These units add humidity and are not suitable for computer, IT or server room applications.
In moderate humidity locations there are many cost-effective uses for evaporative cooling, in addition to their widespread use in dry climates. For example, industrial plants, commercial kitchens, laundries, dry cleaners, greenhouses, spot cooling (loading docks, warehouses, factories, construction sites, athletic events, workshops, garages, and kennels) and confinement farming (poultry and dairy) all often employ evaporative cooling.
Fans and Air Movers
A mechanical fan is a device used to produce an airflow for the purpose of comfort, ventilation, exhaust, or any other gaseous transport.
Typical applications include climate control, cooling systems, personal comfort (e.g., an electric table fan), ventilation (e.g., an exhaust fan).
Heaters and Heating
A heater is any object that emits heat or causes another body to achieve a higher temperature. This can be to heat an object or heat air.
An electric heater is an electrical appliance that converts electrical energy into heat. The heating element inside every electric heater is simply an electrical resistor, and works on the principle of Joule heating: an electric current flowing through a resistor converts electrical energy into heat energy.
Radiant/Radiative heaters or 'space heaters'
Radiant or radiative heaters contain a heating element that reaches a high temperature. The element is usually packaged inside a glass envelope resembling a light bulb and with a reflector to direct the energy output away from the body of the heater. The element emits infra-red radiation that travels through air or space until it hits an absorbing surface, where it is partially converted to heat and partially reflected. This heat directly warms people and objects in the room, rather than warming the air. This style of heater is most useful in an area that is unable to be kept with minimal airflow. They are also ideal for basements and garages since they are good at spot heating. They are an excellent choice for task specific heating.
Convection heaters
In a convection heater, the heating element heats the air next to it by conduction. Hot air is less dense than cool air, so it rises due to buoyancy, allowing more cool air to flow in to take its place. This sets up a constant current of hot air that leaves the appliance through vent holes and heats up the surrounding space. They are ideally suited for heating a closed space. They operate silently and are a good choice where heating is required for long periods of time or if left unattended.
Fan heaters or 'forced convection heaters'
A fan heater is a variety of convection heater that includes an electric fan to speed up the airflow. This reduces the thermal resistance between the heating element and the surroundings, allowing heat to be transferred more quickly. This type of heater is a good choice for quick heating of enclosed spaces. 'Mechanical' or 'forced' ventilation is used to control indoor air quality. Excess humidity, odours, and contaminants can often be controlled via dilution or replacement with outside air. Heat recovery ventilation systems employ heat exchangers to recover some heat from exhausted air, to preheat the incoming outside air
Portable Air Conditioning
Portable air conditioners come in three forms, split, hose exhaust, and evaporative. The main uses/advantages of Portable Air Conditioning are:
It is portable, and thus location can be easily changed.
Temporary - in areas where air conditioning might not normally be needed, but there is a temporary requirement.
Emergency - portable air conditioning units can be supplied as emergency backup, in case of fixed air conditioning failure - especially critical in such areas as IT, Data Centres and Server Rooms.
If a permanent solution where fixed air conditioning is not possible.
