Ten Harley Street is a grade II listed building offering first class, serviced consulting rooms to medical consultants and general practitioners. This 25 room consulting house is open 7 days a week; the practice demanded an equally first class, flexible supplier for air conditioning when renovating the building.

Rapid Air Conditioning were one of several suppliers first considered for this project, the deciding factor for the House Manager, David Briggs, was their experience of working with listed buildings demonstrated by examples of previous work. Following a free survey, Rapid presented David with a plan as to how to tackle this complicated project, providing a great starting block for the project.

Being listed meant that no external evidence of the units could be visible, it all had to be hidden and piping had to be concealed both internally and externally. This involved a complicated piping system which had to be routed through the building to a discreet location outside without ever being visible.

As a private medical facility it was important to David that the installation was done quietly, respectfully, flexibly and cleanly with an emphasis on finishing on time. Something he praised the installers highly for, saying they were considerate of patients and staffs’ needs at all times.

A combination of units were used, including wall mounted split systems and Easi-Fit units, to meet the different needs of each consulting room. The installation was carried out during office hours around the room bookings and also overnight so the installation would cause minimal disruption to the consultants and patients.
