CDS Electrical are well trained in the installation of air conditioning units and are able to carry out planned and routine maintenance to ensure your system continues to work efficiently, year after year.

With the warmer weather now upon us, it is the perfect time to think about having air conditioning installed to help keep you cool through those warm days and sticky nights.

CDS Electrical were recently instructed by the Birchwood Group to carry out a quotation for the installation of air conditioning systems at their Kia branch in Washington, West Sussex. On receipt of our quote, Birchwood decided to proceed and we carried out the works throughout February 2018.

The works included; The installation of four Panasonic S-100PU2E5A ceiling cassettes which were evenly spaced throughout the showroom for maximum efficiency. The installation of refrigerant pipework, electrical interlinking and condenser drains from the ceiling units to their external condensers. Installation of 3-phase and single phase 16 amp power supplies to power the newly installed indoor and outdoor units.

Take a look below for a series of photos that we took prior to the works being carried out and then at the end of our time on site.

Urban Ground, a local coffee chain which recently opened its third store in the heart of Eastbourne decided to use CDS Electrical for electrical works carried out to the shop.  CDS Electrical have carried out numerous jobs for Urban Ground at their other shops but with this new store we were working within the premises from the get go.

CDS Electrical installed contemporary lighting above the counter and installed the air conditioning units in position for maximum efficiency but still works as part of the urban contemporary look the chain of coffee shops adhere to.

Take a look at the photos below showing the completed project. For more information about Air Conditioning and Electrical installations including lighting, please take a look at our relevant service pages.

Since the beginning of December, one of Santa's little helpers; Elfie the Elf has been staying down here in balmy Polegate for a short getaway after working hard all year at the North Pole.

Across the last few weeks, Elfie has been getting up to quite a lot. Take a look at the gallery below to see what he got up to. Naughty or nice, we will let you decide on that one...

Another week down and another week of running to ensure we hit that almighty goal of 1,500 miles travelled through official events in 2017. Last Friday, our totaliser rang in at 1,438.8 miles with just 4% of our goal left to go.

Continuing from last week and across the past seven days, our site supervisor Chris Lamour has been busy running at least three miles every day. Take a look below at his most recent snaps. 

Last week we had 98 miles left to go to hit our 2017 goal. With another week of three mile + runs, there are now just 61 to go. Chris has another ultra-marathon (31 miles) lined up for this weekend which will bring it down to just 30 miles.

For the past seven days, our site supervisor Chris Larmour has been embracing the cold and dark December mornings to run at least three miles a day. He has been documenting his runs through a series of daily images. Take a look at the gallery below for days 1 - 7. Our second weekly recap will be published on the 14th December and our third and final recap will be published on the 21st.

With 76 miles accumulated over the past seven days, our totaliser is very nearly there. 93% of the way there, with less than 100 miles to go. Let's do this!

Throughout December, people all over the country are taking part in a running event called Marcothon. The rules as described on the official event page are as follows;

"You must run every day in DECEMBER. Minimum of three miles or 25 minutes – which ever comes first. The challenge starts on December 1 and finishes on December 31. And yes, that includes Christmas Day. "

Back at the start of the year we set out a couple of goals to celebrate Corin Dudley Electrical Services Ltd being in its 15 year as a limited company. Our first goal was to raise £1,500 for charity and our second was to walk/ run/ swim 1,500 miles throughout the course of 2017. We smashed our charity goal and are only a couple hundred miles short of hitting out distance goal. 

Our site supervisor Chris Lamour. The same Chris who has already run four 100 mile ultramarathons this year is taking part to help us reach our distance goal. You only need to run for 3 miles a day, but Chris has been doing a little more than this just to make sure we comfortably hit that all important 1,500 miles.

It's December again, and that means one thing. Elfie from Lapland is here for another visit. He is staying at the CDS Electrical offices until the 24th December where he will head back North to help out on the big day.

He has only been here for a few days but he has already proven to be a naughty elf. Hopefully he will settle down over the next couple of weeks. I guess we will just have to wait and see what he gets up to.
