How to Plan a Cooling System for Your Warehouse

If your warehouse is overheating and you’re not sure where to start, you’re not alone.

At Celsius Design, we help facilities across the UK plan and install custom cooling systems that work — without causing disruption or wasting energy.

Here’s what to consider when planning a warehouse cooling upgrade, and how we make the process simple from day one.

Step 1: Understand the Problem

Ask yourself: where is heat building up the most — open floor, mezzanine, loading areas? Are your staff complaining of discomfort or fatigue? Are stock or processes temperature-sensitive? Are you struggling to meet MHRA or safety requirements? A clear picture of your challenges helps determine the right cooling method — not just the cheapest fan or biggest unit.

Step 2: Avoid Over-Specifying with Traditional Air Conditioning

Many warehouse managers jump straight to air conditioning — but it’s often not the best fit. Why? Warehouses are open-plan, high-ceilinged, and constantly active. This makes air con costly, inefficient, and often underwhelming in performance.

Step 3: Consider Eco Cooling

Celsius Design uses evaporative EcoCooling systems that draw in fresh air, cool it naturally, and distribute it throughout the space. It’s ideal for large industrial environments and uses up to 90% less energy than AC.

Benefits include lower running costs, better airflow and air quality, zero downtime installation, and optional integration with MHRA temperature mapping if required.

Step 4: Book a Site Survey (It’s Free)

We visit your site, assess the space, and provide a cooling system design within 24 hours — no charge, no obligation. Whether you're storing goods, packaging items, or running 24-hour shifts, we’ll tailor the system to your operation and layout.
