The Problem

Treatment Rooms, Fridges and Heat

Vaccines are kept between +2°C and +8°C in specialist fridges, and NHS storage procedures ask for those fridges to be kept away from heat sources and properly ventilated. A fridge in a room that reaches 30°C every afternoon works much harder, and that is a cold-chain risk you don’t need.

Most other medicines are stored at room temperature, with limits on the pack such as below 25°C or below 30°C, and monitoring the temperature of those storage areas is essential. If your treatment room logs keep showing summer excursions, the room itself needs attention.

What I Look After

Rooms in a Practice

Treatment and vaccine rooms

Usually small, often sunny and full of fridges. The first room to overheat and the one where it matters most.

Consulting rooms

Clinicians and patients in a closed room for long sessions. Quiet units, clean filters, no drips.

Waiting rooms and reception

Busy, warm, and the part of the building most patients see.

Dispensaries

Stock held at room temperature in quantity — cooling protects it.

Server and comms rooms

Clinical systems and phones depend on them, and heat shortens equipment life.

How I Work

Working Around Clinics

  • Visits early in the morning, in the evening or on a Saturday at no extra cost, one room at a time so clinics keep running.
  • Nothing switched off in a room with a fridge or clinical equipment without agreeing it with you first.
  • If your building is managed by a landlord or a health property company, check who's responsible for the air conditioning under your lease. I'll work to whatever arrangement you have.
  • Before going full-time with Smith EcoFlow I ran planned maintenance in a care home, so I know how to work in a building where people’s health comes first, and how to stay out of the way.
Compliance

Records for Your Practice Files

GP practices are registered with the CQC, and Regulation 15 asks that premises and equipment are clean, suitable and properly maintained. After every visit you get a written report for each system, with photographs — the simplest evidence there is.

Two other duties are worth knowing about. Systems holding enough refrigerant — 5 tonnes CO₂ equivalent or more — must be leak-checked at least every 12 months, and more often for larger systems; I'll tell you which of yours are in scope and keep the records. And where the air conditioning in a building adds up to more than 12kW, a TM44 energy inspection is needed at least every five years. That has to be done by an accredited energy assessor — I don't carry out TM44 inspections, but I'll tell you if your site is likely to need one.

Costs

Practice Pricing

£120 for the first complete system and £90 for each additional system on the same visit. A complete system means one indoor unit and its matched outdoor unit. On a twice-yearly agreement it is £195 per system per year.

If we haven't worked together before, your first visit is £99 for the first standard single-split system and £75 for each additional one. VRF, multi-split and difficult-access systems are surveyed and quoted separately.

Most GP services are exempt from VAT, so practices generally can't recover VAT on a contractor's invoice. I'm not VAT-registered, so the price I quote is the price you pay.

Cooling for a treatment or consulting room: single-split systems from £1,700 fitted, after a free survey.

FAQ

GP Surgery Air Conditioning Questions

Yes. I work around the fridge, keep its ventilation clear, and don't switch anything off without agreeing it with you first.
First, make sure any existing unit is working at full output — a service often helps. If there's no cooling at all, a single-split system sized for the room is usually the answer.
Yes — early mornings, evenings and Saturdays at no extra cost, one room at a time so clinics keep running.
No. Most GP services are VAT-exempt, so practices generally can't recover VAT on a contractor's invoice. I'm not VAT-registered, so there's none to recover.
A written report for each system with photographs after every visit, plus leak-check records for any system that's in scope.
If the building's air conditioning adds up to more than 12kW, an energy inspection by an accredited energy assessor is needed at least every five years. I'll tell you whether you're likely to be in scope.
Usually, yes — but check your lease first to see who is responsible for the air conditioning. If it's the practice, I'm happy to take it on.
