Why inverter air-conditioning
30% less power. No cycling. No voltage peaks.
Inverter-driven air-conditioning units are now standard on every commercial install we quote — and increasingly on domestic too. Six reasons it's worth specifying inverter over older on/off kit:
Comfort temperature, faster
Reaches your set temperature without overshooting it.
Start-up time reduced by a third
Less waiting for the room to come up to temperature in the morning.
30% less power consumption
Compared to traditional on/off compressor kit — significant on energy bills.
No compressor cycling
Avoids the voltage peaks that wear out older units and trip RCDs.
Running cost cut by a third
Direct flow-through of the power saving versus on/off equivalents.
No temperature fluctuations
Variable-speed compressor holds the set point — staff, stock and customers all happier.
Flagship sub-brand · since 2017

Why Cool Solutions
Specialist depth.
Phone-led service.
We don’t do everything. We do commercial cooling. Four reasons customers stay with us — and why most of our enquiries still come via personal recommendation.
Owner-led, family-run
Anthony Caddick has run Cool Solutions since 2006. Direct line to the boss on every quote — not a regional manager, not an account team. The same Bristol family that started in 2003.
Single supplier, end to end
Commercial refrigeration, air-conditioning, design and shopfitting, maintenance and emergency cover — under one roof. One contract, one team, one point of contact from spec to sign-off.
Bristol-local on a real 0117 line
Our helpdesk number isn't routed through a national call centre. Dial 0117 329 0301 and you reach the team handling Bristol and the south-west directly — engineers usually on-site within hours of a breakdown.
Grown on word of mouth
The majority of our enquiries come via personal recommendation — and we like to think our high standards and efficient service will continue to encourage this. Most new clients are referred by an existing one.
