Commercial and industrial refrigeration and air conditioning in PACA

Every activity has its own temperature. HM Energy studies it, then installs it.

Ventilation and heat pumps too, for winemaking, food processing, hospitality, pharmacies and commercial buildings, in the Var and across the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (PACA) region of southern France.

Installation

Installation, replacement and commissioning of your refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, with a single point of contact from survey to handover.

  • Cold rooms, condensing units and racks, cooling for wine cellars and barrel halls
  • Air conditioning, ventilation, and sizing and installation of kitchen hood extraction
  • CO2 and propane heat pumps replacing oil or gas boilers
See installation work in detail

Studies and consulting

Needs assessment, sizing, refrigerant choice and specifications, so you decide before investing, not after.

  • Refrigeration load calculation, sizing and diagnosis of an existing installation
  • Refrigerant choice, regulatory anticipation, tender support and works supervision
  • Replacing an oil or gas boiler room with a heat pump, with an eligibility study for energy savings certificates (CEE)

One point of contact, from study to commissioning

The cooling of a shop or a wine cellar is not something you replace twice. It is better to think it through properly the first time.

A scope tailored to you

Study only, installation only, or both: you choose what we take on. The first discussion and the site visit are free.

Sizing explained

The calculation basis, assumptions, exclusions and limits of scope are written into every quote, before any decision.

Temperature and humidity

Meat maturation, clean rooms, chocolate, artwork conservation: the control system is designed to hold humidity as well as temperature.

Regulation built in from the study

Certified to handle refrigerants, we build the F-Gas Regulation, pressure equipment rules (PED) and electrical standards into the study from the start.

From the Var, for your projects in PACA and beyond

We work in PACA first. For a project elsewhere, a conversation will show what is possible.

Design office work since 2012 and project management since 2014, including four years in New Zealand in refrigeration, HVAC and kitchen extraction. Graduate of the IFFI (Cnam) programme for heads of design of refrigeration and air-conditioning installations. We also work in English.
