Contingency \u2013 being prepared<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nFirst and foremost, if disaster strikes, hire solutions are ideal for providing emergency cover in the event of a breakdown while a more permanent solution is on its way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For schools and universities, it is critical to ensure temperatures are kept above the industry recommended 18\u00b0to keep operating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If they find themselves without access to reliable heating, hot water, and cooling, action needs to be taken quickly to rectify the situation and avoid disruption to staff and pupils.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hire options are perfect for these short-term situations and ensure that schools and universities are provided with a necessary resource that can be paid for in manageable instalments, rather than in a bulk upfront payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Planned maintenance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\nAlthough helping in the event of a breakdown is important, it is not the only use for hire solutions in this sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A hire solution is ideal for back-up cover when planned maintenance is taking place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With term time deadlines often looming when replacements and repairs are taking place during holidays, real comfort can be taken in the knowledge that a heating solution can be put in place if the project isn\u2019t completed on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is often assumed that most hire projects are seasonal, with chiller hire<\/a> demanded in the summer months and boiler hire<\/a> required in winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBut it\u2019s often just as important to have fully working boilers in place over the summer period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"School](\"https:\/\/www.icscoolenergy.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/01\/School-Boiler-1-1.jpg\")

Hiring equipment means its associated costs can be kept off the balance sheet as the equipment doesn\u2019t technically belong to the local authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This can go a long way to finding a fast solution, especially when budgets are tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hiring equipment avoids capital expenditure which is an attractive option for businesses lacking the funds for large upfront costs of equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s more, hire packages tend to cover the cost of maintenance and repairs (in most circumstances), ensuring money is saved and freed up to spend elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Change equipment with the seasons<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Although most students have gone, there is often some level of occupancy, so sanitary hot water and heating needs to be maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is where the flexibility of hire comes in to its own as the equipment can be changed according to the needs, so a larger boiler would be needed in the winter but in the summer this can be swapped for a smaller model, providing additional equipment savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sustainable solutions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
While boilers are still the traditional solution considered for heating application, and heat pumps were traditionally known for their residential applications, with rising energy costs and increasingly ambitious environmental goals heat pumps have become more and more recognised across other building applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They deliver the economic benefits from a most efficient use of energy while also providing a significant benefit towards emission reduction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heat pumps rely on one of the most energy-efficient methods of heating: the transfer of free thermal energy from outside to inside based on the difference in temperature between the two. What not everybody does though is looking at cooling and heating at once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chillers used for cooling, just by doing so generate waste heat that typically gets lost to atmosphere, this heat does not just have to be wasted and can be harnessed effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Repurposing energy by integrating cooling and heating systems is an opportunity often overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you hire a heat recovery chiller for your building, it will generate hot water as a by-product of the chilled water system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heating, cooling, heating while cooling, heating or cooling – choices can be make when it comes to satisfying practically any heating and cooling demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of our recent projects at a public college campus in central Britain is a great example to picture potential savings from applying heat pump technology<\/a> as a renewable alternative to traditional gas fired boilers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
