TIMELINE

A History Of ProtoCool & Air Conditioning

Technology is advancing rapidly, and so are we. Find out how the cooling, heating and hot water industry has changed - and how we've grown with it.

1900's

Willis Carrier designs a cooling unit to solve a moisture problem for a publishing company - the term ‘air conditioning’ is coined.

1930's

Air conditioning systems become available for Cars. Robert Sherman invents the first portable, in-window unit that cools, heats, and de-humidifies.

1980's

Inverter and VRV technology is developed, revolutionising efficiency and performance.

2000

Managing Director of ProtoCool (Steven Crame) enters the industry as a refrigeration engineer.

2007

ProtoCool is born, and Daikin release the Altherma air-to-water system for large properties. It provides 3-in-1, cooling, heating & hot water

2023

ProtoCool grows its range of services, now specialising in bespoke air conditioning solutions. Our fleet of vans grows to 10+.

2024

Daikin introduces the Multi+ 3-in-1 system. Improvements in design and efficiency now make it suitable for smaller spaces - serving up to 3 AC systems and a hot water tank with a single outdoor unit.

“From the very first contact we had with ProtoCool all the team went above and beyond my expectations.

This was not a huge job but they did not at anytime not make us feel special and we were kept informed at all times of progress.

The onsite engineers are what I call ‘proper gents’ nothing too much trouble and a complete pleasure to work with.”

“A really nice job. ProtoCool obviously take a lot of pride in their work and were concerned that although the unit was straight, the old beams in the building weren’t!

Kept us informed of what they were doing throughout the days. Very professional.”

“The service from my first enquiry, through the initial visit to scope the job, to the work itself was outstanding.

Everyone was polite, professional and very competent. The standard of work was excellent.

I am thinking of having air conditioners fitted to other rooms and I will certainly use them again. Highly recommended.
