 The unregistered firms could now face prosecution as well as other negative knock on effects, which may affect their business such as the validity of commercial insurance. A spokesperson for REFCOM said: “For the remaining companies that aren’t registered they should apply for a certificate and the sooner the better. Trading without a certificate means they are breaking the law.”

 REFCOM chief executive Bruce Kirton said: “I would urge any business that has yet to apply to do so as soon as possible by visiting our new website at www.refcom.org.uk. Compliance is required by law and both gas suppliers and equipment manufacturers will expect all air conditioning businesses to be certified.”

Company History

When Managing Director, Mr David Knibbs, founded ACS in 1999 he was determined to set new standards in system design, installation and afterwards in supporting his company’s customers. The company has consistently achieved his objectives clearly demonstrated by the high level of customer retention from day one.

ACS has over 1600 installations benefiting from their excellent standards and with high customer retention it is no surprise this number is climbing daily.

Their UK head offices, on the outskirts of Towcester, Northamptonshire, are just minutes from both the major arterial motorways, providing the ideal location from which to react to the demands of this often business critical service. Offices have been opened in other locations to support this customer growth.

ACS Mechanical Services Limited is the latest element of this organic growth.

Customer Profile

ACS companies have a very diverse and happy customer profile, 35% of which are in the public sector. From single split installations in a doctor’s surgeries, to comfort cooling in a nationwide chain of retail premises, or to close control in business critical installations, ACS has supplied and maintains them all.

Service & Maintenance

Business critical installations are supported 24/7 by a dedicated service and support team.

Staff are qualified in essential and scheduled maintenance programs and licensed to handle all types of refrigerant gases, disposing of these in accordance with strict environmental guidelines. The company is Refcom registered and fully committed to its environmental policy, and therefore treats these responsibilities very seriously.

The service teams are satellite tracked, using the latest technology, and by providing an on screen mapped location the nearest team can contacted immediately to resolve any system issues
A complete history of every customer’s installation, and service history, is stored in their computer asset register and updated continuously from the field service reports the engineers complete. This asset system automatically generates job sheets for the service engineers, when scheduled service visits are due, and also provides trend information which can then be monitored and advised.

At each service visit the engineers compile their field service report, and this information is then added to the asset register. Service calls are tailored to meet the clients requirements and working restrictions. The engineers are trained to work quietly and cleanly ensuring minimal disturbance to a customer’s day to day business, if any.
For business critical areas, such as computer server rooms, ACS can respond to calls within four hours, depending on the service level agreed with the customer.

Remote Monitoring

Enhancing this support is our remote monitoring system. Whether the customer simply wants the control to be organised remotely or requires a totally monitored and controlled system ACS Mechanical Services can provide it.

All the individual controls can be connected by IP and/or SMS directly or through the clients BMS system. Temperature settings and timings can then be adjusted remotely. If local control is retained this can still be monitored and adjusted if needed.

With some systems SMS fault notification can be configured to report faults so that a remote adjustment or in more serious cases an engineer despatched without any local intervention by the customer. Similar systems can be installed in a central point locally for control by a single person if so desired.

Setting standards

Regular product training and attention to employee welfare, has produced a high level of staff retention. With this comes an ever enlarging knowledge base, and skill level, of which both ACS Mechanical Services and our engineers are justifiably proud

When “good enough” is not enough

As a full BM TRADA accredited member of the HVCA (Heating and Ventilating Contractors Association), ACS are required to demonstrate their engineering competence and have to undergo an independent inspection and assessment against technical and non-technical standards.
