Carrier Solutions UK supplied a Toshiba climate control solution for Bannatyne Health Club & Spa in Wellingborough, delivering a complete HVAC refurbishment to improve customer comfort and operational efficiency. Carrier Solutions UK Ltd (formerly Toshiba Carrier UK Ltd) is a part of Carrier Global Corporation, a pioneer in intelligent climate and energy solutions.  R407c split systems The eight-week project involved decommissioning and removing aging R407c split systems that had reached the end of their useful lives. These systems were proving costly for Bannatyne Group to maintain, making a modern replacement essential to enhance performance and reduce operating expenses. Climate control capabilities Ventec Services Ltd, the appointed installation contractor, selected Toshiba products for their high efficiency, reliability and tailored climate control capabilities. Equipment was procured through one of Carrier’s preferred distributors, Cool Designs Ltd, ensuring a smooth and reliable supply chain throughout the project. Toshiba Variable Refrigerant Flow systems The installed solution included Toshiba Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems, featuring SMMSu Heat Pump 2-pipe and SHRMe Heat Recovery 3-pipe models, as well as Toshiba Digital Inverter R32 single, twin and triple split units. The project also replaced outdated DX cooling coils and condensing units within the club’s air handling units. Key features of the new installation Key features of the new installation include inverter-driven compressors, which adjust heating and cooling output in response to real-time demand, thereby reducing power consumption during periods of low usage. A Toshiba Black Pear Central Controller was also installed, allowing the club’s General Manager to control different temperature settings across the gym, studios, spa areas and offices from within the main office. Careful planning ensured the project was completed outside opening hours, thereby minimizing disruption to daily operations. Ideal choice for efficiency and flexibility “Working with Ventec and Carrier Solutions UK ensured a hassle-free installation,” said Stuart Maclachlan, Regional Manager at Bannatyne Group. “The Toshiba system has improved comfort and both members and staff have noticed the difference.” Richard Goose, Director of Ventec Services Ltd, added: “The collaboration between Ventec, Bannatyne and Carrier Solutions UK made this project a great success. Toshiba’s systems were the ideal choice for their efficiency and flexibility and we’re proud to have delivered a solution that exceeds client expectations.”

Carrier Solutions UK has partnered with River Island and installing contractor - Bry-Kol Developments Ltd to deliver a tailored HVAC solution for the retailer’s newly expanded store at The Chimes Shopping Center, Uxbridge.  Carrier Solutions UK Ltd (formerly Toshiba Carrier UK Ltd) is a part of Carrier Global Corporation, a pioneer in intelligent climate and energy solutions. Precise climate control The project involved relocating River Island from a single-level space of 848 sqm to a two-floor store totaling 660 sqm The project involved relocating River Island from a single-level space of 848 sqm to a two-floor store totaling 660 sqm. This required a new system capable of providing precise climate control across the extended pipework runs to the roof plant area. Two internal Air Handling Units (AHUs) with chilled water-cooling coils were drained prior to the shop fit, and Bry-Kol was tasked with identifying equipment suited to the store’s layout and operational requirements. SDI series features The installed solution includes six Toshiba 14kW RAV Super Digital Inverter (SDI) units paired with Toshiba 4-Way cassettes (SEER/SCOP 8.59/4.75) and one RAV 5kW High-Wall SDI split system (SEER/SCOP 7.84/4.19). The SDI series features twin rotary compressors, vector-controlled inverters, a unique fan blade design and an ultra-power heat exchanger, enabling reliable operation and accurate control across the two-floor layout. Temperature adjustments in specific areas The system now offers zoning abilities, allowing temperature adjustments in specific areas of the store “The Super Digital Inverter systems offered reliable, straightforward installation,” said Tim Gask, Project Engineer at Bry-Kol Developments, adding “As always, we were happy with the service provided by Carrier Solutions UK and experienced no post-completion issues.” The system now offers zoning capabilities, allowing temperature adjustments in specific areas of the store to suit foot traffic and external conditions. Toshiba Super Digital Inverter Split Systems John Lowndes, Head of Shopfitting at River Island, stated: “We used the Toshiba Super Digital Inverter Split Systems to heat and cool the store. We have also developed a mini building management system with Carrier Solutions UK that gives us simple control over the various elements in store, which is especially beneficial for the new and unique, expanded space.” Bry-Kol has worked with Carrier Solutions UK (formerly Toshiba Carrier UK Ltd) since 2012, with its engineers trained to Carrier’s required standards. This partnership enabled River Island to benefit from a 7-year warranty on the installed systems.

Viessmann Climate Solutions (VCS) has combined with Carrier to become the core of Carrier’s newly formed business unit Residential and Light Commercial for European, Middle East and Africa. This business unit is now able to offer brands like Carrier, Toshiba, and Beretta next to the premium brand Viessmann, thus covering additional user segments with differentiated products at various price points. Climate system technology “The climate system technology of Viessmann Climate Solutions and the cooling-focused systems of Carrier combine two core competencies that will be crucial in responding to individual customer needs worldwide,” says Thomas Heim, President, Residential & Light Commercial HVAC for Europe, Middle East, and Africa. “Carrier expands the Viessmann portfolio in the area of air conditioning and enables seamless integration of heating and cooling.” Carrier’s acquisition of Viessmann Climate Solutions There was huge media interest in Carrier’s buy of Viessmann Climate Solutions when it was revealed There was huge media interest in Carrier’s acquisition of Viessmann Climate Solutions when it was announced more than a year ago. In media interviews, Carrier Chairman & CEO David Gitlin; Max Viessmann, CEO and Member of the Executive Board of the Viessmann Group, which owned Viessmann Climate Solutions prior to Carrier’s acquisition; and Heim presented the many advantages the combination would bring. Advantages apply both to the product portfolios, which perfectly complement each other, and to the optimized development of global markets. A year later, the feedback is extremely positive, says Heim. Latest developments in the Viessmann system The sentiment was confirmed by numerous conversations with installers at the ISH 2025 trade fair in March in Frankfurt. “The advantages of this combination between Viessmann Climate Solutions and Carrier are clearly noticeable for everyone involved,” says Heim.   The latest developments were well received by the 100,000 visitors to the booth at ISH, with particular interest in the Viessmann system connecting several products into a solution based on full stack controls platform Viessmann One. Residential and commercial sector customers The alliance meets the needs of residential and commercial sector clients with a multi-brand portfolio Also at ISH, Viessman highlighted the newly created alliance of Viessmann, Carrier, Riello, and Beretta around the theme “Power Play as One Team.” The alliance meets the needs of both residential and commercial sector customers with a multi-brand portfolio of heating, ventilation and cooling solutions for all output ranges and price levels. “Together with Carrier, we are in an even better position to provide solutions that address climate challenges by reducing CO₂ emissions and increasing energy efficiency,” says Heim. Digital tools and ecosystems The expanded product line builds on the strong longstanding collaboration of Viessmann Climate solutions with installation partners. For example, the addition of (light) commercial Carrier heat pumps to the portfolio enables leveraging together existing digital tools and ecosystems with this expanded offering. “This increases the relevance of our ecosystems for both our installers and users,” says Heim. Culture of collaboration The focus from the start has been on creating a culture of collaboration among both teams When integrating companies, it is always about bringing people together and providing a framework that allows them to unlock their full potential, says Heim. Thus, the focus from the beginning has been on creating a culture of collaboration that allows the teams from both companies to contribute their unique talents and strengths. “We are convinced that we have found the right formula and that combining Carrier and Viessmann Climate Solutions will lead to 1 + 1 > 4,” he says. “To get there, our shared purpose and values play an important role in this successful integration.” Carrier product portfolios “Companies can only be successful if they think and act globally and operate in a spirit of co-creation,” says Heim. Combining the Viessmann Climate Solutions and Carrier product portfolios creates added value for all installation partners and users. The increasing complexity of the HVAC industry is contributing to a trend toward company consolidation. “Let's be honest: in the past, you simply installed a gas boiler,” says Heim. PV installation They also offer a design tool on the Internet and even financing with the help of a partner bank Heim added: “Today, it's often about heat pumps, battery storage, photovoltaics, wall boxes and an energy management system that links everything together. It's all extremely complex. That's why we are constantly training our installers and at the same time reducing their workload." "Many of our installers don't want to climb on a roof, which is fine. We then look for facilitating a service provider that adds the PV installation to the holistic offering of our partner company.” They also offer a configuration tool on the Internet and even financing with the help of a partner bank. Climate-neutral by 2050 Data centers will also play a bigger role in the future. For example, a typical office building in Manhattan requires only three cooling units, while a data center they are currently working on requires 140. An AI chip generates seven times more heat than a conventional chip. “This market is huge, and we are determined to play an important role,” says Heim. The building sector produces 40 percent of CO2 emissions in Europe. Therefore, a transformation to renewable energies is necessary to become climate-neutral by 2050. Viessmann products and systems “For us, as a manufacturer, this means that we continue to encourage the building electrification system strongly,” says Heim. Viessmann products and systems offer installers the basis for a sustainable climate solution offering for their users. Almost all areas, from single- and multi-family houses to commercial and industrial buildings and municipal facilities, can be covered by the system portfolio. New hydraulic interface Regardless of the outdoor unit (ODU), the new components always match the indoor unit (IDU) Heim highlights three notable products as part of the Viessmann System Solution. Users can now choose between the high-efficiency, high-comfort Vitocal 250-A and the more economical Vitocal 150-A domestic air source heat pumps. Regardless of the outdoor unit (ODU), the new components always match the indoor unit (IDU). This high level of flexibility pays off for the installers in significantly shorter installation times, and users only pay for what they actually need for their heating system. The new hydraulic interface also saves time during installation. Vitocharge VX3 storage unit The Vitocharge VX3 storage unit is one of the most proven battery storage units in its class. Its maximum storage capacity of 75 kWh (5 modules of 15 kWh each) is particularly suitable for large, detached houses and apartment blocks, as well as for smaller commercial applications such as supermarkets or craft businesses. Following on from the large power classes, the smaller modules can now also be cascaded at 4.6 kVA. Flexible installation options are now available, including corner or horizontal mounting, which allow for optimal adaptation to on-site conditions.
