Byrne Equipment Rental has further enhanced its “one stop equipment rental” offering with the launch of its new climate control division as part of its ongoing regional expansion strategy.

One of the largest industrial equipment rental companies in the Middle East, Byrne pointed out that in the weeks and months ahead, this unit will be rolled out in its 20 strong network of offices and depots across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain to complement its growing equipment rental fleets.  

The decision to add this product range was fuelled, not just by the promising future of the HVAC (heating, ventilation and air-conditioning) industry in the region, but even more so the demand from existing Byrne clients, said the statement from the company.

According to the market research report published by P&S intelligence, the UAE HVAC market alone is expected to reach $1.4 billion by 2024, a growth that can be attributed to various factors such as rising investments in tourism-related projects and development overall.

Technological innovations are also fuelling the growth of this sector, as new HVAC systems are being designed to consume less power and be more energy efficient, it added.

Byrne Group COO Pat Fallon said: "We are constantly listening to the requirements of our clients and we are pleased to announce the launch of our climate control division which will complement the products we currently supply."

"Our rental fleet is regularly updated to carry the latest brands of equipment and technology designed to enable operational efficiency through equipment rental and lease solutions," he stated.

According to Fallon, the Byrne Climate Control Division will specialise in three main areas; Spot Cooling, Comfort Cooling and Process Cooling. It will contain a wide range of equipment including split and package air conditioning units, chillers, air-handlers, cooling towers, dehumidifiers, heaters and ventilation equipment.

“We have never made any secret of our ambition to be the largest equipment rental and lease organisation in the region - our recent investment into this division and a recruitment drive for specialised technicians, results in us being able to further support our clients and their business requirements,” he stated.

Their investment in this new division demonstrates their commitment to this sector as well as the region and ensures their ability to successfully service the Climate Control market across multiple sectors, noted Fallon.

“We will execute this with our existing equipment range as well as the following additional offerings; Free site survey, HVAC design, Build solution, Installation & commissioning, Service, maintenance & health checks, in addition to services such as power products, power distribution and internal air-flow,” he added.
