Air Conditioning & Refrigeration

Tackle your biggest source of energy waste.

HVAC systems are typically the largest energy consumers in buildings. However, due to poor design, maintenance and operation, along with thermally inefficient structures, much of this energy goes to waste.

A systems approach to Heating & Cooling.

Did you know you can use waste-heat from refrigeration and air conditioning to make free hot water?

Or capture waste heat/coolth from your ventilation instead of bringing in hot air and loosing cold air?

Whether it's enabling economy cycle so that your building switches to fresh air instead of expensive air-conditioning when the weather outside is cool enough, adjusting temperature set-points so that you don't use more power than is required, or optimising your compressor with smart controls, we have a wide range of unique solutions that can reduce your energy costs.

Sometimes it's as simple as relocating an condensing unit that the local contractor has placed in front of a wall, or performing and overdue coil clean to ensure sufficient temperature transfer and air movement to the surrounding air .

Austep takes a different approach.

Our team members have vast HVAC experience with former careers that range from cold thermal storage (ice banks), to equipment manufacturing and contracting (Trane), BMS controls, and even lecturing in mechanical engineering.

Our solutions reduce your energy costs, reduce your maintenance costs, extend product shelf life, and make your buildings more comfortable in the process.
