The Ultimate Degree of Control

From a catering and food handling background, Hopkins has developed a world-class expertise in the design, manufacture and installation of a wide range of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration solutions. Their key expertise is in applications engineering, where a brief from a client is taken and then delivered.

Here is the latest example:

Chameleon Television planned to build a planetarium in the grounds of Harewood House consisting of three Geodomes. They approached Hopkins with the brief to heat and cool the domes in the most eco-friendly manner possible. The solution Hopkins engineered was to use air to water, under floor heating and cooling, the use of inverters and air to air heating and cooling. This was achieved through computer control and free cooling and is provided whenever possible. The client was delighted with this innovative approach that keeps running costs to a minimum and has the lowest possible environmental impact.

Other clients include Schools, Factories and Offices where minimum disruption is required, or tight deadlines are imposed due to the clients’ operational needs.

All of our work is undertaken to the highest standards and includes:

• Taking a brief and working through to the final installation
