Restaurants need to have a comfortable environment for the satisfaction of their clients. If the environment is too cold, or too hot, or too humid, this can spoil the enjoyment of the occasion. Adequate ventilation (air change) must also be provided, in order to remove cooking smells, and and stale odours.

It is important the correct types of indoor units are selected, and they are installed in locations which do not cause nuisance draughts, blowing cold air on to customers. It is preferable to locate the air discharge from an air conditioning unit more than 2.5 metres away from any customer, so ceiling Cassette or Ducted units are more appropriate than a wall unit mounted just above a customer’s head.

We would recommend an experienced installer is requested to carry out a survey, and calculate the cooling and heating requirements of the restaurant area. There are many variables to consider: ventilation requirements, lighting, number of covers, door opening frequency, air migration to/from kitchen area, electrical equipment (coffee machines, etc.).

3 D Air Sales Ltd has supplied thousands of air conditioning systems which are installed in restaurants, and which have been installed by reputable and competent contractors. The types of systems and units are explained in our Product section. We can recommend installers for small high street restaurants, golf club restaurants, large purpose built restaurants, and large banqueting suites in hotels.
