Background

Lunar Refrigeration Ltd was appointed to deliver a modern climate control system at the Estate Office in Dalton Hall Business Park, a sensitively converted rural barn. The client required a discreet yet efficient solution that blended seamlessly with the characterful stonework of this heritage setting.

Challenges

  • Maintaining the visual integrity of the exposed internal and external stonework
  • Routing services through thick masonry without structural disruption
  • Achieving effective heating and cooling in an old building with limited insulation

Our Solution

A Mitsubishi Electric wall-mounted split system was selected for its high efficiency, quiet operation, and compact footprint. The installation was carefully planned to minimise disruption and preserve the aesthetic of the building.

  • Indoor Unit: Positioned high on the internal stone wall to optimise airflow and reduce visual intrusion.
  • Pipework: Routed using white surface containment, aligned vertically and horizontally to maintain clean lines.
  • Outdoor Unit: Fixed securely to galvanised cantilever brackets, with neatly run containment to suit the natural contours of the exterior stonework.

Outcome

The neat and professional installation complements the setting and demonstrates how modern HVAC can be sensitively integrated into older buildings.

Client Feedback

“We’re delighted with the installation – it’s made a real difference to the working environment, and you’d hardly know it was there. The Lunar team were professional, tidy, and respectful of the building throughout.”
