Commercial Air Conditioning Installation in Wells, Somerset

Bespoke Climate Control | Samsung WindFree™ Technology | Commercial Heating & Cooling

Project Overview

Wilkins Plumbing & Heating was appointed to design and install a bespoke commercial air conditioning system across two adjoining commercial units in Wells, Somerset.

The client had acquired the premises to accommodate a specialist creative digital content production business, where precise temperature control, minimal air movement and low operating noise were essential to the working environment.

The brief required a highly efficient, year-round heating and cooling solution that would deliver consistent indoor comfort while preserving valuable floor space and maintaining the flexibility of the production areas.

The Challenge

Unlike a conventional commercial air conditioning installation, this project required careful consideration of the building's intended use, internal layout and operational demands.

The client needed a system capable of providing:

Precise year-round temperature control for specialist creative production activities.
Minimal draughts and air disturbance within the working environment.
Exceptionally quiet operation to minimise disruption to content production.
High-level installation to maximise usable floor space.
Remote monitoring and control for convenient management of internal conditions.
Energy-efficient heating and cooling to help manage ongoing operational costs.

Understanding the client's specific requirements from the outset was fundamental to delivering a successful installation.

Working closely with our established manufacturer and supply chain partners, we developed a tailored solution that balanced performance, efficiency, comfort and the practical constraints of the building.

Our Solution: Samsung WindFree™ Commercial Air Conditioning

Our experienced commercial air conditioning engineers installed a bank of four Samsung 10kW WindFree™ cassette units, providing a combined nominal system capacity of 40kW.

Samsung’s WindFree™ technology was particularly well suited to this specialist application.

Unlike conventional air conditioning systems that rely on noticeable streams of conditioned air, Samsung WindFree™ technology gently distributes cooled air through thousands of micro-holes, helping maintain consistent room temperatures without uncomfortable direct cold draughts.

This provides several important benefits for specialist commercial environments:

Draught-Free Comfort

WindFree™ cooling distributes conditioned air gently throughout the space, significantly reducing noticeable air movement and improving occupant comfort.

Low-Noise Operation

Designed for quiet operation, the system helps create a more controlled working environment where background noise and airflow disturbance need to be minimised.

Efficient Heating and Cooling

The reversible air source heat pump technology provides both heating and cooling from a single system, offering an energy-efficient alternative to conventional direct electric heating.

Intelligent Temperature Management

Integrated controls, humidity sensing functionality and Wi-Fi connectivity provide convenient management of the internal environment, including remote access to system settings.

Space-Saving Installation

The units were installed at high level, with associated services routed along the upper building structure to preserve the usable space beneath.

Installation & Engineering

A key consideration was the positioning of the equipment and associated services.

Our installation team developed a high-level containment strategy, using carefully positioned cable trays and service routes as close as practicable to the building's ceiling line.

This allowed the four Samsung cassette units to be mounted at height without unnecessarily compromising the working areas below.

Careful consideration was given to airflow distribution, access for future maintenance and the performance requirements of the equipment.

The completed installation provides a discreet, practical and highly controllable commercial climate solution, tailored to the client's specialist operational needs.

The Result: A Controlled Environment for Year-Round Operation

The completed project demonstrates the importance of combining technical expertise with a genuine understanding of how a commercial building will be used.

By selecting the appropriate Samsung WindFree™ technology and developing an installation strategy around the client's requirements, we delivered a solution designed to provide:

Consistent heating and cooling throughout the year.
Reduced draughts and minimal disruption from air movement.
Quiet, comfortable working conditions.
Convenient Wi-Fi-enabled remote temperature control.
Maximum flexibility and usable space within the building.
Efficient long-term operation with accessible servicing and maintenance.

A bespoke commercial air conditioning installation designed around the building, the business and the people using it.
