Airzone announces UK launch

UK: Spanish HVAC controls manufacturer Airzone has announced its formal UK launch. 

Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Malaga, Airzone says it intends to work with UK HVAC installers, specifiers and integrators to drive building performance efficiencies. 

To support the company’s growth in the UK, Airzone has invested in a designated UK-based sales team led by Nick Webb, who has industry experience dating back to 2017 with Aqua Cooling Solutions and Trane.

The UK teams will be focussing on Airzone’s residential solutions that are designed to manage heating including air-source heat pumps. They will be working closely with installers, specifiers and integrators on specifications, while also promoting solutions for multi-occupancy commercial buildings.   

Each system is designed as an integration tool, offering full HVAC control from the Airzone Cloud mobile app, a smart home system or a building management system. 

Airzone’s expertise in HVAC control has been achieved through partnerships with leading OEMs including Daikin, Mitsubishi, Hitachi, Fujitsu, Panasonic, and Toshiba, with compatibility extending to more than 170 brands.
