About Air Handling Unit Hire
UK businesses are affected by variable ambient conditions in many different ways and maintaining temperature is sometimes a challenge for engineers and staff on site.
Sometimes you may need to hire an air handling unit to offer supplementary air movement and air quality to help with maintain air temperature control for either a long or short-term period.
You can hire an Aqua AHU for rooftop, in-room, ceiling and plantroom applications. These would include air filtration, variable airflow, remote monitoring and condensate removal.
Warm or cold air distribution and fan coils can also be managed by our specialist teams.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an air handling unit and when would I need to hire one?
An air handling unit (AHU) regulates and circulates air throughout a building. You might need to hire one to offer supplementary air movement and air quality, to help maintain air temperature control. They can be paired with a chiller, or boiler, to provide cool or warm air.
What sizes of air handling unit are available for hire?
Aqua holds a wide range of AHUs within its hire fleet to suit small commercial spaces through to large industrial buildings. Contact us with your space dimensions and requirements and we will recommend the right unit for your needs.
How long does it take to install a hire air handling unit?
Installation times vary depending on the complexity of the connections needed. However our engineers work quickly and efficiently to minimise disruption to your site and will agree a timescale with you before work starts.
Can I hire an air handling unit for emergency situations?
Yes. Aqua’s hire team is set up to respond to emergencies and can often get equipment on site within 24 hours. Call us on 0333 004 4433 any time day or night.
Does Aqua provide ducting and ancillaries alongside the hired AHU?
Yes. We can supply ducting, flexible connections and other ancillaries as part of your hire package so you get a complete solution rather than having to source components separately.
Temporary Cooling Prevents Warehouse Getting Hampered During Summer
For clients working within the warehousing and distribution sector, temperature control plays a pivotal role in ensuring the quality, integrity, and freshness of stored products. This in turn increases shelf life, reduces wastage, and protects business performance and brand reputation. Aqua were approached by a high end retailer, looking for support with cooling their new storage facility.
