your local ac company - about us

Cool Runnings Air Conditioning Ltd was established at the start of 2023 and is based in Norfolk.

With a background in construction, our Engineer and Director Steve could see that there was a more environmentally friendly way to bring heating and cooling into homes and workspaces. He went on to retrain and is now FGAS qualified and registered with REFCOM.

Since starting up, Cool Runnings Air Conditioning has been in high demand, as customers are now seeing the benefits of air conditioning systems and are looking for a local air conditioning contractor.

We have carried out air conditioning installations and services in a wide range of places such as homes, outbuildings, offices, surgeries and other commercial buildings.

About FGAS Training

It is a legal requirement for anyone installing, commissioning, decommissioning, repairing, maintaining, or servicing refrigeration, air-conditioning or heat pump equipment that contains, or designed to contain F-Gas refrigerants to hold relevant qualifications as stated in regulation 2067/2014.

What is F-Gas?

F-Gas stands for fluorinated gas; man-made gases that are used in a range of industrial applications. F-gases were created and are used as a replacement for ozone-depleting substances, because they do not damage the ozone layer. However, F-gases are still powerful greenhouse gases and have an even higher warming potential than carbon dioxide (CO2). They can therefore contribute to climate change and the use of F-Gas is strictly regulated.

F-Gases are most commonly used as a refrigerant in air conditioning units.

About REFCOM

Since 1996, REFCOM has been running a voluntary best practice company registration scheme, helping to promote environmentally responsible refrigerant management. REFCOM recognised early on that there was a need for employers to better control the use of refrigerant and prevent release into the atmosphere.

In 2009, REFCOM Certification Limited was appointed by the Secretary of State for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) to operate a certification body under the stationary equipment provisions of the Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases Regulations.

The latest F-Gas regulations are moving towards the high standards already set by REFCOM Elite.

Membership to REFCOM gives members access to additional technical support including a technical helpline, business insurance, ongoing training, compliance software, calibration checks and political lobbying and representation. As a local AC company, Cool Runnings chooses to be a member of REFCOM to gives our customers peace of mind and confidence that we have the best possible training and back up where necessary.

Frequently asked questions

What areas do you cover?

We cover Norfolk and Suffolk.
What size Air Conditioning unit do I need?

This all depends on the space that you want to heat/cool. Please contact us and one of our engineers will visit your location to assess your requirements and suggest the best solution.
What do I get with an Air Conditioning system?

You will receive an indoor and outdoor unit. The outdoor unit (the condenser) can either be hung on the wall or placed on the floor.
Do I have to get my Air Conditioning unit serviced?

We suggest getting your Air Conditioning units serviced every year as this will keep your units running smoothly. Contact us to book your service today!
Where does the outdoor condenser get installed?

The condenser can be either wall mounted or placed on the floor. We suggest having at least 1m spacing around the unit for optimal airflow.
For maximum cooling, when should I turn on start the air conditioner?

From sunrise, the sun will immediately begin warming the brickwork in your building. You should therefore start the air conditioner approximately 2 hours before the sun begins to shine into the room. This will help to remove the heat from the brickwork, so when the sun also shines into the room, the unit is not struggling to remove heat from both the sun and from the brickwork.
How do I care for my air conditioner?

Air conditioners should be considered for regular maintenance in the same way that you would service a boiler or heating system. A regularly used aircon unit should be serviced annually, but a rarely used unit can be serviced less often. At Cool Runnings we offer a full maintenance service. Regular servicing helps to prevent your unit breaking down, whilst keeping it at peak efficiency and reduces the energy cost of running the unit, whilst also increasing its life.
