Helpful information from our team

Drawing on 38 years of hands-on industry experience, our team has put together some practical guidance on commercial air conditioning, refrigeration and HVAC systems.

At Set Point Technology, the concept of a “set point” is central to everything we do — it’s the precise temperature, humidity and air-quality target that keeps your people comfortable and your products protected, at the lowest possible running cost. Whether that means a steady 21°C on a cold winter night, controlled humidity in a muggy summer, or simply bringing in clean fresh air, our goal is to help you achieve and maintain it efficiently.

Three technologies we’re often asked about:

Smart Wi-Fi control — manage your heating, cooling and ventilation remotely from a phone or tablet, on demand, from anywhere.
Balanced air ventilation — paired supply and extract fans bring in fresh air while removing stale air, keeping interiors healthy and comfortable.
Energy-recovery ventilation — systems such as the Mitsubishi Lossnay integrate with your air conditioning or HVAC to deliver high-quality air around the clock while minimising energy use.

If you’d like advice tailored to your premises or project, our experienced team is here to help — get in touch to discuss your requirements in more detail.

Kind regards,
Paul and the team at Set Point Technology.

Understanding Air Conditioning

Air conditioning does far more than cool a space. A well-designed system controls temperature, humidity and air quality together, keeping people comfortable and protecting stock, equipment and processes whatever the weather outside. For commercial premises, that balance is what keeps a building productive and energy-efficient all year round.

Getting it right starts with matching the system to the building and how it is used. Our team designs, installs and maintains air conditioning and refrigeration solutions that are sized correctly, run efficiently and are built to last, so you are not paying to cool or heat air you do not need.

• Maintaining equipment protect your investment and the value of your system* Extended equipment life reduces ownership costs* Operating efficiency reduces energy consumption, which saves money* Reduced system downtime gives you more time to take care of your business

Most consumers have only a few concerns (other than price) when purchasing a freezer:

1  What size do I require?

2  How much electricity will it consume?

3  What (if any) options do I need?

Size

Size of course depends upon your needs. Generally though, most people purchase too large a freezer. They base their judgement upon perceived usages rather than real usage. Their reasoning is: We ?might? need a larger one in case there ?may be? a special at the grocery store on something. The reality though is that most freezers end up being operated only half full.

Also, remember that all frozen foods should be consumed within six weeks. Foods stored longer than that can become dehydrated no matter how well wrapped. As the moisture leaves the food both taste and nutritional value will be lowered. So anything stored longer than six weeks will probably end up being thrown out. As an example, how much ice cream have you thrown away because ice crystals started to form inside the package? That ice forming inside the package is dehydration at work.

Therefore, when trying to decide how big a freezer to purchase we suggest using what we call the ‘six week rule’.
