Homeless charity benefits from Mitsubishi AC

UK: Contractor Sub-Cool Fm has donated a £15,000 air conditioning system to Crawley Open House, a local charity providing support and services for the homeless and disadvantaged. 

The three Mitsubishi Electric outdoor condensers and six internal units will provide the charity’s brand-new resource centre with a climate-controlled environment for staff and clients alike. The air conditioners were supplied by Mitsubishi Electric, with Sub-Cool Fm carrying out the install and Cooke and Charman Group the electrical works.

Our comprehensive installation of free air conditioning for their brand-new facility, is not a donation, it is a token of gratitude,” insisted Sub-Cool Fm founder Jacob Swei.
