Why is it improtant to have air conditioning in a restaurant
When it comes to restaurants, a cool and comfy dining area helps boost appetite and reduce the chance of complaints.
It even attracts people who are looking for a nice place to escape from the heat. Also chefs and cooks who spend hours inside the kitchen could use some cool air from the air conditioner to be at a comfortable temperature whilst working.
When recommending air conditioners for restaurants it is essential that one takes into consideration the room shape, seating arrangements before deciding on the location of the air conditioning unit.
Most common air conditioning units in a restaurant
Wall-mounted split systems
The most common type of air conditioning system in a restaurant is a wall-mounted split system. They are also the most cost-effective, primarily because their installation involves no more than a few holes for the wire and mounting the unit. This also makes the unit very easy to retrofit.
Ceiling mounted ‘cassette’ units
They are an excellent solution for restaurants. They are a little more costly than wall units however, they are almost entirely hidden within a suspended ceiling and are therefore more discreet and aesthetically pleasing in a restaurant environment. They also have the advantage of providing an even four-way air flow which ensures comfortable cooling for all your diners.
Ducted air conditioning systems
These are ideal for restaurants and cafes that are looking for an ‘invisible’ air conditioner. They are usually the most expensive option however, they are also the most aesthetically pleasing.
