Wolseley has expanded its network of cooling branches by adding 55 new locations, as the company looks to support the UK’s growing number of air conditioning contractors.
Traditionally catering for the heating, plumbing and building service sectors, 55 additional Wolseley branches across the UK have now been stocked with essential air conditioning and refrigeration products, and refrigerants including new low GWP blends for the refrigeration market and R32 for the air conditioning sector.
With branches covering England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Channel Isles, air conditioning engineers can now purchase maintenance essentials as well as products from brands such as Daikin, Fujitsu and Bosch.
Each new express branch stocks over 200 air conditioning and refrigeration maintenance products, from refrigerants and copper to insulation and pumps, providing everything installers need to fit ‘split’ air conditioning.
Robert Franklin, Business Director for Cooling at Wolseley, said: “We are seeing more and more demand for air conditioning products among our customers, including increased interest from traditional heating and plumbing installers. With that in mind, we have expanded our network of branches, meaning that our customers can access our air conditioning and refrigeration ranges faster and easier than ever before.”
Robert added: “Staff in our new branches have also undergone additional industry training, enabling them to help and advise engineers to get the correct products needed for the job at hand.”
Those looking for products in a hurry can also take advantage of Wolseley’s “Click & Collect” option which enables customers to order until 4.30pm and collect their products from any branch at 7.30am the next day.
Wolseley has also recently launched its Air Conditioning Mini Guide which showcases the products available at its specialist branches. The guide includes important details such as cooling capacity, maximum pipe runs, pipe sizes and fuse sizes, enabling engineers to select products for jobs quickly and easily.
