Sized on heat load, not guesswork
Every quotation follows a survey that accounts for glazing, occupancy and equipment load. Undersized kit is the most common fault we are called out to fix, and it starts at the quoting stage.

Our story
Gear Bros Ltd is run by Ciaran Gear near Welshpool, Powys. We are an air conditioning, ventilation and refrigeration contractor working mainly with commercial clients — offices, retail units, pubs and restaurants, server and comms rooms, and industrial premises — alongside a steady stream of domestic installations.
The business is run solely by Ciaran Gear, which is why the person who quotes the job is the person you speak to about it afterwards.
The businesses that call us usually have one of three problems: they need a system designing and installing without losing trading days, they have a breakdown that is costing them money right now, or they have an existing system that has never worked properly since it was fitted. That third category is a large part of our work.
Our specialism is the technical end of the trade: correct heat-load sizing, diagnostics on systems other contractors have condemned, and installations that are commissioned properly rather than switched on and left. Because we cover refrigeration as well as air conditioning, a pub can have its cellar cooling, its front-of-house cooling and its kitchen extract looked at by the same engineer on the same visit.
We work across Welshpool, Aberystwyth, Shrewsbury, Stoke-on-Trent, Manchester, Oswestry, Newtown, Llanidloes and Llandrindod Wells, covering mid-Wales, Shropshire, the Potteries and the North West. Nearby towns get fast attendance; more distant sites are planned in advance so travel does not inflate your quotation.

Mission and standards
Our aim is simple: leave a system that holds temperature, runs efficiently and is still doing its job in three years' time — and be reachable when it needs attention. Everything below is a working rule, not a slogan.
Every quotation follows a survey that accounts for glazing, occupancy and equipment load. Undersized kit is the most common fault we are called out to fix, and it starts at the quoting stage.
F-Gas certified and REFCOM registered. Pressure tested, vacuumed and charged correctly, with the paperwork your insurer or landlord may ask for.
Commercial work is phased so shops keep trading and offices keep working. Early starts and out-of-hours phases are normal, not an expensive extra.
We diagnose first and cost the repair against replacement. Systems other contractors have written off have been brought back and left running better than before.
We are not tied to one manufacturer, so the equipment is chosen for your building and budget rather than a supplier agreement.
A 3-year labour warranty and 3-year parts cover as standard, and if you upgrade the manufacturer's warranty we match it with equivalent labour cover.
