HVAC Services for Schools and Colleges
Keeping Classrooms Comfortable and Schools Compliant All Year Round
Creating a safe, comfortable environment is essential for learning — and your HVAC system plays a vital role in this.
At Compac North East we specialise in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning services, all of which can be tailored specifically to meet the needs of schools, colleges, and other educational institutions.
Let us take the pressure off…
We know that as a facilities manager you are likely juggling multiple priorities every single day – from building compliance and energy efficiency to emergency call-outs and budget constraints. That’s why we offer a professional, hassle-free service designed to take the pressure off.
Our team handles every aspect of your HVAC system: inspections, servicing, repairs, and replacements. We offer planned preventative maintenance (PPM) contracts that are easy to manage and tailored to your site, with clear reporting and proactive support throughout the year.
An underperforming or neglected HVAC system can lead to a host of problems – from uncomfortable classroom temperatures to poor air quality and high energy costs.
Regular servicing helps to:
Improve energy efficiency and reduce utility bills
Extend the lifespan of your heating and cooling equipment
Ensure optimal indoor air quality for students and staff
Reduce the risk of breakdowns and costly emergency repairs
Stay compliant with statutory regulations and duty-of-care obligations
Stay compliant with UK Education Regulations…
Schools and colleges are subject to specific health and safety regulations when it comes to indoor air quality, temperature, and ventilation. The Department for Education recommends maintaining classrooms at a minimum of 18°C during teaching hours, and sufficient airflow must be provided to prevent CO₂ build-up.
We stay on top of all relevant guidelines, including:
Building Bulletin 101 (BB101): Ventilation requirements for school buildings
Health and Safety Executive (HSE) recommendations for thermal comfort
Air conditioning inspections under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations
Our servicing ensures your HVAC system complies with these standards, giving you peace of mind — and keeping inspectors happy.
Summer Shutdown; the perfect opportunity to get ahead
The school summer holidays are the perfect window to carry out planned HVAC maintenance. With buildings largely empty, we can work quickly and safely without disrupting lessons, exams, or staff.
So, book your service now to ensure your system is running at full capacity before the colder months return.
