Turn Key Air Conditioning Ltd – Air Conditioning Installation, Service & Maintenance

Turnkey Air Conditioning (West Midlands) Ltd was established in June 07.

The new operation forms part of our planned business expansion, introducing a base in the heart of the West Midlands. It will enable us to strengthen the support structure for major clients in this area such as Thorntons, in Derby and JD Sports who have nationwide coverage, with many outlets in this region.

Management Team.
At Turn Key Air Conditioning we have brought together a team with in-depth experience and a broad range of skills.

Most of our management team have worked as consultants and are members of the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineering (CIBSE).

Most of our project managers are graduates in Building Services Engineering. Whilst our specialism is in air conditioning, we have considerable expertise in the much wider scope of organisation and management of building services activity.

Within the management structure of Turn Key Air Conditioning we have established 4 prime functions:

1. Project management.
This role covers the total process of site surveys, design, cost analysis, contract supervision and accounting.

The project managers are the focal point of contact between TKAC and the client and they co-ordinate all activity and liaison between the two.

2. Engineering management.
Here we ensure that we are familiar with all of the latest developments in the air conditioning equipment options to provide optimal solutions for clients and satisfy current legislation. We also ensure that we are familiar with all new methods of installation – which can have effects on cost and air conditioning system installation time scales.

This function is also responsible for safety in terms of training, certification and compliance with clients' on-site requirements.

3. Service & maintenance co-ordination.

Whether installed by Turn Key Air Conditioning or not our Service and Maintenance Department is more than happy to co-ordinate your air conditioning system service and maintenance needs.

With national coverage, and response times tailored to meet your specific needs, Turn Key Air Conditioning currently covers over 1,000 sites from Inverness to St. Helier.

4. Installation and service engineers.
Our installation and service engineering teams are trained beyond the level required for air conditioning installation. We ensure that the teams have a range of skills in other trades which enables them to keep a job moving when other contractors would be stopped by obstacles of various kinds.

Health and Safety.
At Turn Key Air Conditioning, safety is our number one priority. All of our service teams and anyone else who makes site visits carry the CSCS skills card.

We are strong supporters of this initiative and we now find that an increasing number of our clients make this a condition of contract.

Safecontractor Scheme.
Safecontractor is an accreditation scheme that assesses the health & safety competency of contractors and service providers. Companies have a legal obligation to ensure that external contractors and service providers working on their premises operate in a safe way.

TK Air Conditioning is frequently asked to provide H&S data before operating on clients’ sites. Safecontractor is an organisation that assesses contractors’ health & safety arrangements.

TK Air Conditioning is an accredited air conditioning contactor on the Safecontractor Scheme. It is anticipated that this arrangement will streamline the H&S assessment process, as we will have been vetted by a respected independent authority.

Sales Management.
In January 2007,Tony Parlett joined us as Sales Manager. Tony has previously worked for air conditioning OEM, Daikin. Prior to Tony’s arrival Turn Key Air Conditioning has won most of its work from referral and repeat business. Tony is now working to intensify the awareness of TKAC amongst air conditioning specifiers.
