High Path Air Conditioning

For over 20 years, we have specialised in the design and installation of HVAC systems within mastering studios, recording studios, control rooms, live rooms, voice booths, and home studios throughout the UK and internationally.

These environments require highly tailored solutions due to the sensitivity of the equipment and the significant impact that air movement can have on room acoustics. Developing a genuinely premium system involves more than simply fitting attenuators. Crafting a whisper-quiet system necessitates meticulous planning around unit positioning, airspeed, airflow, and the transmission of noise and vibrations.

We seamlessly integrate our systems into the architecture of the building by providing detailed working drawings and collaborating closely with architects, ensuring that the installation enhances rather than compromises the acoustics of the space. The end result is a system that operates wholly unnoticed — you won’t hear, see, or feel it running.

From renowned artists like Kate Bush and Brian May to local producers, we engage in projects of all sizes. We offer complimentary consultations, expert advice, and free quotations and preliminary designs.

Achieving true silent HVAC requires specialised engineering expertise. Silent HVAC systems must be intricately integrated into the fabric of the building — ductwork is expertly routed out of sight through ceilings and walls, supported by vibration-isolated mounts. Consequently, silent systems are ideally suited for new constructions or major renovations where walls and ceilings are being remodelled.

For genuine silence, a ducted system is essential; wall-mounted units simply won’t suffice. Air flows through acoustic-lined ductwork designed to absorb sound, before passing through dissipation boxes that reduce airflow speed and eliminate turbulence before the air is delivered. The result is climate control that is completely undetectable.

At High Path Air Conditioning, we specialise in the design, installation, and maintenance of high-performance commercial air conditioning systems that are customised to suit the unique needs of your business.

With over 40 years of industry experience, we excel in providing quiet, efficient, and dependable air conditioning solutions across a diverse range of commercial environments.

Temperature significantly affects your bottom line. Research indicates that uncomfortable staff can be up to 12% less productive, while customers in retail environments tend to spend less time—and consequently, less money—in spaces that are either too hot or too cold. In restaurants and cafés, the comfort of diners directly impacts reviews and the likelihood of repeat visits. Furthermore, air conditioning systems play an essential role in filtering airborne particles and controlling humidity, resulting in a healthier indoor environment that reduces absenteeism and meets the modern expectations of a productive workplace.

A modern air conditioning unit functions as a heat pump — a single, compact system that efficiently heats and cools your home via a wall-mounted unit. This innovative solution eliminates the need for portable fans, space heaters, and dehumidifiers all at once. Cooling a bedroom overnight typically costs only 10–15p, and during the winter months, it provides heating more cost-effectively than gas, operating at an impressive 400% efficiency — delivering 4kW of output for every 1kW of electricity consumed. Plus, all domestic installations qualify for 0% VAT.

In addition to regulating temperature, these systems continuously purify the air — effectively removing dust, pollen, and allergens — so you can enjoy cleaner air throughout the day. At night, the units operate at a whisper-quiet 19dB, featuring a dedicated sleep mode that dims the display and reduces fan speed, allowing you to experience deeper, uninterrupted sleep even on the hottest nights.

With a low initial cost, reduced running expenses, improved air quality, and enhanced sleep comfort, this all-in-one system operates throughout the year. Most installations can be completed within a single day.

We expertly install all leading brands, including Daikin, Mitsubishi, Toshiba, Fujitsu, and Hitachi — from compact wall-mounted units ideal for a single room to extensive commercial systems catering to entire office buildings.

Whether you're looking to heat or cool a residential bedroom, home office, or a multi-zone commercial space, every installation is meticulously designed and executed by our team of in-house engineers — no subcontractors, and no compromises on quality.

With more than 40 years of practical experience, we guarantee that your system is correctly sized, strategically positioned for optimal efficiency, and installed to the highest standards, all supported by a comprehensive 7-year warranty.
