T T Sue Russell Proudly based in Whangārei, Northland, Airzone designs, installs and maintains heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems across the commercial and industrial sectors. With an established presence in Auckland, Airzone has expanded its capability and workforce to support projects and clients throughout Northland and Auckland, while continuing to provide the same high level of technical expertise, service and local support. Their regional presence enables them to deliver comprehensive HVAC solutions across the upper North Island, from design and installation through to commissioning, maintenance and ongoing service. General Manager Nick James says the 45+ year old business has built a strong reputation for engaging with customers, finding solutions fit-for-purpose and providing strong back-up repairs and maintenance servicing. Nick says the team like nothing more than getting involved in projects at the design level. “We have a couple of design engineers and draftsmen. When we’re sitting around the table working through creating the best design outcomes, that’s when we really pass on our expertise to our customers, who benefit from our very practical, hands-on approach,” he says. Today, the business, across its Whangārei base and a branch in Auckland employs a team of 55; however, Airzone also engages large local sub-contracting teams when business demands. “We had increasingly found ourselves working in the Auckland region and, after considering the opportunity for a number of years, made the decision to open an Auckland branch two years ago. It has been a great move for the business, allowing us to strengthen our local presence, support our existing clients more effectively and grow our client base across the Auckland region.” From Whangārei, Airzone provides mechanical HVAC services across Northland. The business has strong relationships, delivering its skills and expertise to hospitals and other large entities, building a reputation for executing complex infrastructure projects in the region. Those projects include the Whangarei Civil Centre, the Hundertwasser Art Centre and a lengthy engagement with multiple Northland hospitals’ critical HVAC upgrades. “Hot water is a big focus at this time as old hot water boilers are replaced. Our industry is moving so quickly, so we place great emphasis on ensuring our team are up to speed with the latest technology developments.” An important specialisation is in delivering decarbonisation and new energy management services into ageing infrastructure. In line with government climate initiatives such as the Carbon Neutral Government Programme, Airzone supports public and private sector clients to effectively phase out dependence on fossil-fuels. “We design, install and commission commercial HVAC systems, integrating advanced controls, BMS and alarm monitoring to deliver complete, reliable and efficient solutions. Our involvement extends beyond installation, providing ongoing service and maintenance to support the building throughout its lifecycle, ensuring systems remain safe, reliable, efficient and fit for purpose. “Quality is fundamental to everything we do at Airzone. We have maintained ISO 9001 Quality Management System accreditation since 1996, demonstrating our long-standing commitment to delivering consistently high standards across every aspect of our business. Our quality systems underpin how we design, install, commission, service and maintain our projects, with a focus on getting things right, continually improving and delivering outcomes our clients can rely on throughout the life of their building,” says Nick. Nick says Airzone is always on the lookout for skilled tradespeople. “We recognise that developing our own people is essential to the long-term success of our business,” he says. “We are heavily invested in training and developing safe, competent and highly skilled apprentices, with eight apprentices currently working across the business. We see our apprentices as the future of Airzone and are committed to providing them with the training, support and practical experience they need to reach their full potential.” Nick puts the reason why the business ticks so well down to the quality of its people. “We have really good people doing great things for our customers. It’s a small business mentality operating at scale and it fits our philosophy about what good business should be based on.”
