Every commercial kitchen demands a bespoke air conditioning solution to cater to its unique needs and ensure an optimal work environment. Whether you’re operating a bustling fast-food restaurant, a quaint bakery, or a high-end gourmet restaurant, choosing the right air conditioning system and having it expertly installed is crucial. If you’re planning a commercial kitchen in Perth and need the right air conditioning solution, look no further than Allfield Refrigeration & Mechanical Services.
With a proven track record and commitment to excellence, we offer bespoke air conditioning systems installation tailored to your specific needs, coupled with top-tier service and customer satisfaction. In this article, we delve into the various considerations when selecting an air conditioning system, the installation process, and why Allfield should be your top choice for commercial air conditioning installation for your kitchen.
Understanding commercial kitchen requirements
Every commercial kitchen has unique requirements that determine the size and type of air conditioning system. A kitchen’s size, the cooking type, the number of appliances, and staff strength are all factors that can influence the system’s required capacity. For instance, a fast-food restaurant’s kitchen will have different needs than a small bakery or a gourmet restaurant. A proper understanding of these needs is crucial for determining the correct air conditioning solution.
Choosing an appropriate air conditioning system
In response to Perth’s climate and the specific needs of commercial kitchens, more than one type of air conditioning system can be considered—reverse cycle and ducted air conditioning systems are two proven options.
Reverse cycle air conditioning systems: versatility and efficiency
These systems, adaptable to Perth’s varied climate, offer dual heating and cooling functions, providing a year-round solution for commercial kitchens.
Reverse cycle systems switch between cooling and heating modes by reversing the refrigeration cycle. They expel inside heat during summer, and in winter, capture outside heat to warm the kitchen. With various capacities available, these systems cater to different kitchen sizes and offer high energy efficiency.
Ducted air conditioning systems: uniform cooling for larger spaces
Ideal for larger kitchens, ducted systems distribute conditioned air through concealed ducts, providing uniform temperature control.
A standout feature is their zone control capability, allowing independent temperature regulation in different kitchen sections. This feature reduces energy waste and ensures optimal comfort. Additionally, their seamless integration offers an uncluttered aesthetic, not disrupting kitchen design or workflow.
The choice between these systems relies on the unique needs of your commercial kitchen—its size, layout, and specific heating and cooling demands. Both the versatile reverse cycle system and the extensive ducted air conditioning system offer effective ways to enhance your kitchen’s comfort and productivity.
Installation process: planning and execution
After the system selection, the next step is planning the installation process, which involves several key stages:
1. Designing the layout: The initial step in the installation process is the careful design of the system’s layout. This involves an in-depth evaluation of the kitchen’s floor plan, understanding the workflow, and strategically locating the indoor and outdoor units of the reverse cycle air conditioning systems. For ducted systems, we plan the placement and routing of ductwork, aiming for optimal airflow and minimal disruption to kitchen operations.
In this process, we ensure that the outdoor units can efficiently manage heat exchange with the environment, and that the indoor units are placed to maximise air distribution while minimising noise and heat within the kitchen. For ducted systems, the ductwork is configured to provide consistent temperature control across different kitchen zones, without impacting the aesthetics or functionality.
We consider kitchen specifics like size, layout, and heat sources, aiming for a balance of efficiency, performance, aesthetics, and practicality. This careful planning guarantees optimal system performance and a conducive kitchen environment, setting the stage for a successful air conditioning system installation.
2. Engaging a qualified installer: Installation should be handled by a certified professional experienced in commercial installations. In Perth, it’s crucial to choose an installer familiar with local regulations and the Building Code of Australia. By working with Allfield Refrigeration & Mechanical Services you are guaranteed quality of service and expertise that ensures optimal performance of your commercial kitchen’s air conditioning system.

3. System testing: Once the installation process has been completed, it is absolutely crucial to thoroughly test the air conditioning system under a variety of operational conditions. This is to ensure that every component is working as expected, efficiently, and in harmony with the overall system, providing the desired temperature control and energy consumption levels, thereby guaranteeing optimal performance and comfort within your commercial kitchen.
