HAWKES REFRIGERATION ENGINEERS

Our refrigeration knowledge goes as far back as the early 1960’s where ammonia plant was common for the ice cream industry and refrigeration equipment was belt driven, including Ice making machines that produced flaked ice for Billingsgate market. Today the products available are generally more advanced and extremely energy efficient. Call us to find out how we can help with any size project or service requirement.

Air conditioning has been around for many years, from when there was a single split system with old mechanical controls and a clunky old compressors to state of the art Wi-Fi controlled cooling systems offering full clean air and climate control with super energy efficient  inverter compressors and fans, making it cheaper to heat or cool your premises what ever the time of year.

Hawkes Refrigeration Engineers is a market leader in bespoke electrical installation and maintenance services for the commercial and industrial sectors, across Essex, London and home counties. Specialising in compliance, mains power, controls and technical services, we provide unbeatable service to many renowned clients. We are NICEIC approved and have an annual audit to ensure we are fully compliant.

• Air-to-water heat pumps take heat from the outside air and feed it into your wet central heating system. They’re most suitable for larger radiators or water underfloor heating because the heat they produce is cooler than that from a conventional gas or oil boiler. To be most effective they need a large surface area to release the heat.

Air to air heat pumps are installed on the outside of the home and effectively absorb heat from the outside air and then pump it back into your home using a fan system, hence the name “air to air”.

Quick fact: often air to air heat pumps are simply referred to as “air conditioning”.

The major advantage of this system is that it can also run in reverse e.g. it can absorb heat from the inside air of your premises and pump it outside, which is very useful during warmer the summer months

Water source heat pumps (WSHP’s) are a remarkably efficient renewable energy solution that can reliably provide your property with year round heating, given access to a body of water. With perhaps some of the highest efficiency ratings of any energy system, a WSHP can typically achieve 300% to 600% efficiency, meaning that every 1kW of energy used, will get you 3kW to 6kW of heat energy.
