ICE Ltd received Highly Commended in the Refrigeration Project of the Year category at the ACR & Heat Pump Awards 2026.

Selected from a shortlist of five finalists, the project involved the upgrade of a pharmaceutical cold room facility, protecting over £40 million worth of temperature-sensitive stock whilst implementing low-GWP A2L refrigerants and maintaining strict temperature compliance throughout the works.

This was a true team effort from start to finish.

The project was designed by Nick Griffiths, Project Managed by Lee Hopkins & Daniel Bush, installed by Daniel Bush and Samuel Jones, and commissioned by Harry James and Sam Griffiths.

Projects such as this demonstrate the strength of our team and our ability to deliver technically demanding refrigeration solutions in highly regulated environments.

We are looking forwards to this tonight!

☀️ Kitchen Extension Too Hot to Use?

Large areas of glazing, bi-fold doors and roof lanterns look fantastic, but they can create a real challenge when it comes to temperature control.

This Cheshire kitchen extension was suffering from excessive solar gain, making the space uncomfortable during warmer weather and difficult to enjoy as intended.

Check out how we overcame the problem with a carefully designed air conditioning solution that not only delivered the cooling performance required but also complemented the high-end finish of the room.

The selected system provides:

✅ Effective cooling during hot weather
✅ Energy-efficient heating in winter
✅ Low noise operation
✅ A stylish finish that blends into the interior design
✅ Year-round comfort for the homeowner

Modern air conditioning isn't just for commercial buildings. It's becoming an increasingly popular solution for kitchen extensions, garden rooms and open-plan living spaces where overheating is a common issue.

Have you completed an extension only to find it's too hot in summer and too cold in winter?

A single refrigeration failure can result in thousands of pounds worth of stock being lost, not to mention operational disruption and compliance issues.

What measures do you have in place to protect your cold storage operation?

People often think air conditioning and refrigeration companies only get busy when it’s hot.

The reality is… we’re busy all year round.

What hot weather does do is expose every system that hasn’t been maintained properly or recommendations/quotes for works that haven't been acted upon.

Filters blocked.
Condensers clogged.
Refrigerant issues.
Failed fans.
Systems already struggling before the temperatures even rise.

Then suddenly every breakdown becomes urgent at the exact same time.

Over the last few days our engineers have been covering everything from comfort cooling breakdowns, water leaks through to pharmaceutical temperature-critical environments across the UK.

The pressure during weather like this isn’t really about the heat itself.
It’s about trying to respond quickly whilst making sure the genuinely critical sites stay operational.

That’s why preventative maintenance matters.

Not because it stops every breakdown..... it won’t.

But because well maintained systems:
🧊 Fail less
🧊 Recover quicker
🧊 Run more efficiently
🧊 And are far less likely to collapse during peak demand

A lot of the work we do isn’t glamorous.
It’s engineers on motorways at midnight.
Fault finding in plantrooms.
Getting disturbed on bank holidays
Trying to keep warehouses, production facilities and pharma environments operational while everyone else is at home enjoying the sunshine.

Big thanks to all of our team for the effort over the last week 👏

Shout out to our on-call engineer Luc over the bank holiday 👏

A busy one with multiple critical call outs across the country.

First attending a pharmaceutical site in North Wales, getting 3 systems back online after HP faults and helping stabilise temperatures on site.

Then straight back out again to a pharmaceutical site in Redditch dealing with temperature issues.

Long hours, plenty of driving, pressure from all sides and still getting the job done professionally.

This is the side of the industry people don’t always see during warmer weather. Keeping critical environments operational isn’t just about comfort cooling for some customers it’s business critical.

Good effort Luc 👍

Before and after shots from a recent air conditioning maintenance visit at a waste management facility in Cheshire 📸

Sites like these can be particularly harsh environments for air conditioning systems, with high levels of dust and debris causing systems to become heavily soiled over time. Without regular maintenance, this can quickly impact efficiency, reliability, and overall system lifespan.

Our engineers carried out a full clean and maintenance service to help keep the systems operating efficiently and reduce the risk of breakdowns heading into the warmer months.

Regular maintenance is key, especially in more demanding industrial environments like this one 👌

Future-Proof Coldroom Upgrade: Protecting £40m of Pharmaceutical Stock with A2L Refrigerants 💊❄️

The Problem
A long-standing pharmaceutical customer in North Wales relied on a critical coldroom to store over £40 million of stock at 2–8°C. Their existing refrigeration system, installed by ICE in 2005, had performed flawlessly for two decades. But challenges were mounting:

🧊 Ageing infrastructure: Spare parts were increasingly unavailable.
🧊 Regulatory pressure: Existing R407C refrigerant (GWP 1774) is being phased out under F-Gas legislation.
🧊 Future risk: By 2030, new systems must use refrigerants with GWP

Reliable Cold Storage for a Growing Pharmaceutical Business 💊

A pharmaceutical customer in Manchester had outgrown their existing cold storage and needed a fast, compliant solution without disrupting operations.

The Problem:
🧊 Limited storage capacity risking MHRA non-compliance.
🧊 Part of their packing labs needed demolishing to make space for a new coldroom.
🧊 They required a partner who could manage the project end-to-end with minimal disruption.

The Solution:
🧊 ICE delivered a turnkey coldroom project:
🧊 Demolished existing labs and built a 4.5m x 4.2m x 2.5m insulated coldroom with a sliding pallet-access door.
🧊 Installed run-and-standby refrigeration and pharma-grade control panels with temperature, fault, and door-open alarms.
🧊 Ensured a stable 5°C environment (within 2–8°C MHRA guidelines) and passed temperature mapping first time.
🧊 Provided full O&M manuals

The Outcome:
🧊 Future-proof, compliant coldroom supporting business growth.
🧊 Resilient system safeguarding product integrity.
🧊 Minimal operational disruption and complete documentation for audits.
🧊 Peace of mind from working with a trusted partner already successfully completed three previous coldrooms on site.

ICE removes friction from complex projects, delivering fast turnaround, turnkey solutions, and full compliance so pharmaceutical businesses can focus on what they do best.
