We have considerable experience of designing, installing, commissioning and maintaining air conditioning and ventilation / extraction systems for all types of restaurants.
The quality of the dining environment is an essential part of the overall experience and one that can detract considerably from the customers enjoyment if it is not designed or operating correctly. This can result in temperature issues, unpleasant odours, cold drafts or a combination of all of these. In addition it is important for the equipment to look good, be unobtrusive and to be easily maintained and reliable.
There are three common types of unit which are most suitable depending on budget and the type of building:
Wall Mounted Air Conditioners
These are the least expensive to install and can be easily retrofitted without damaging the internal decoration. The good quality units are very efficient and quiet and come in many different sizes.
Ceiling Mounted Cassette Units
Ceiling mounted cassette units are a very popular option for restaurants. They are unobtrusive and aesthetically pleasing and fit very well into a suspended ceiling. They also provide excellent air flow to ensure that the temperature within the restaurant is even distributed.
Ducted Systems
Ducted systems are the most attractive solution although they are the most expensive. All that is usually visible is the small grill which can be sized and colour coordinated to blend very attractively into the surrounding ceiling space. Ducted Units are usually the best all round solution in new build fit outs although can be retrofitted provided there is a space or void above to hold the unit.
Frequently restaurants are going for an exposed look where the ductwork and AC units are left exposed. This type of application is particularly suited to the ducted system.
Kitchen Ventilation & Extraction
Elliott’s has considerable experience of designing and installing commercial kitchen ventilation and extraction systems as well as coming up with innovative and reliable solutions where restaurants are struggling with fumes or heat in their kitchens. We can help with the whole package from Bespoke Canopy design through to ventilation and extraction design and installation.
Modern systems are very efficient and can therefore generate significant savings over older equipment and this added to some excellent manufacturer finance packages can mean that you can upgrade to great new system without any impact on your cashflow.
Please give us a call to discuss and see how we can help.
