Air conditioning became much more commonplace throughout the 80’s & 90’s. Office blocks, retail outlets and public buildings all started to require it, and Acme was perfectly placed to deliver.

Acme started installing what are now known as ‘split systems’ in this period, with wall-mounted and ceiling-mounted cassettes becoming more common. Based on refrigeration technology, AC fitted perfectly into Acme’s already established portfolio and the same engineers with similar skillsets were able to install and service equipment.

Our department grew with several key contracts from companies like Thomas Cook, who commissioned Acme to refit air conditioning equipment in their travel agent stores on a rolling programme.

Air conditioning is now a well-established and strong part of Acme’s portfolio, with customers including JD Sports, Royal Mail and hundreds of private and public organisations nationwide.
