Commercial Refrigeration

FONKO Air Conditioning & Refrigeration specialises in the design, manufacture and installation of commercial refrigeration systems. We provide the best worldwide technologies and trends in refrigeration, from standard Freon-based refrigerant systems to state-of-the-art Trans-critical CO2 installations for major supermarket chains.

Our Difference

When it comes to commercial cold storage, Fonko is an industry leader. We have established ourselves as one of the few companies in New Zealand that can design and install environmentally friendly Tran-critical CO2 systems.

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the world’s number one choice of refrigerant and we have come up with a way to utilise it with minimal environmental impact. Global legislation, as well as the Kyoto and Montreal Protocols, encourage its use.

Benefits of CO2 as a Refrigerant

Some of the major benefits of this type of commercial cold storage are:

  • Future proof solution
  • No global warming impact
  • No ozone depletion potential (ODP)
  • Non-toxic and non-flammable
  • Less expensive than Freon’s (refrigerants usually used)
  • Table performance with high heat rejections and no temperature glide
  • Good thermodynamic properties, making it more efficient
  • High volumetric efficiency, so smaller components are required

We Also Offer Traditional Commercial Refrigeration

At FONKO Air Conditioning & Refrigeration, we strive to meet your needs. If you don’t want to utilise our CO2 commercial cold storage solutions, we have alternatives for you.

We have extensive experience in traditional refrigeration systems. From a local bar fridge to a complete supermarket to full cold storage warehousing facilities, we can provide the solutions you need throughout Auckland. Our team will design and build a refrigeration system that will best suit your needs and budget.

FAQ

What is Commercial Air Conditioning?

Commercial air conditioning is a system that extracts heat from an office and pumps refrigerated air inside to control the temperature of the various indoor spaces. Air conditioning is essential in providing a comfortable office throughout the changing New Zealand seasons.

What is the Difference Between Commercial AC and Residential AC?

Commercial AC has all the cooling properties of residential AC but often has a larger and more powerful system to deal with larger commercial buildings. Commercial AC can also combine the units in a single rooftop system to save space and keep the noise outside of the office so it doesn’t interfere with your employees’ work. At Fonko, we offer a number of various systems for commercial AC to ensure we install the right option for your property.

Which Type of AC is Best for Commercial Use?

With a dozen different options, contact our team at Fonko for expert advice on which air conditioning system you should opt for. With a quick enquiry, we can discuss the space in which you are looking to add air conditioning and the best solutions to choose from. This will depend on the size, location and needs of your office.
