Temporary premises
for Smooth-Air
Throughout 2018, it’s business as usual
for ventilation equipment specialists,
Smooth-Air, as they operate from
temporary premises at 351c Blenheim
Road while their Annex Rd premises are
being rebuilt.
Due to re-open in early 2019, the
new building will be better suited to the
company’s needs and more efficient than
the previous one, marketing spokesperson
Kate Rattray says.
“In the meantime, we will be continually
moving onwards and upwards with
an increased product range to service
our commercial, trade and domestic
customers.
“We are also pleased to have on board
our new national sales manager Phil
Henderson, and new regional manager
Richard Jack. Their focus will be on
continuing to provide customers with
excellent service and advice,” Kate says.
Experts in providing quality of air for
domestic and commercial purposes,
Smooth-Air supplies equipment for all
types of ventilation systems including
ducting, grilles, diffusers and fans – in
fact, anything that moves air into, out of,
or around a building.
While the majority of customers are
trade, Smooth-Air also sells directly to
the public, with a range of extraction
and ventilation systems, as well as other
ventilation components for domestic use.
For the domestic market, the focus is on
cleaner, drier, warmer homes. Smooth-Air
has several ventilation systems designed
for the New Zealand climate. The HEX390
is a heat exchanger suitable for domestic
and commercial premises, exchanging
fresh air for stale, while reclaiming heat
(or cooling) from the expelled air.
Their HTU heat transfer unit is another
popular option, transferring heat from
log burners to other areas of the home,
improving energy efficiency and reducing
power consumption.
Smooth-Air also caters for large
commercial projects, with the capacity to
produce substantial quantities of TD panel
duct, as well as provide other specified
equipment, including AirChange heat
exchangers such as those used for the Jellie
Park Pool.
Their skilled workshop team builds
ducting components, and these can be
supplied from stock, or made to customer
specifications. With the purchase of a
new building in Christchurch, which is
dedicated to manufacturing, Smooth-
Air have recently more than doubled
their manufacturing capacity. Along
with their Auckland
and Wellington
workshops, Smooth-
Air’s workshop floor
space now totals nearly
3000sqm, and of the 80
staff nationwide, 30 are
dedicated workshop
staff members.
Engineering manager
Mike Nash oversees all
three workshops.
“As suppliers to
customers in all areas of
New Zealand, we pride
ourselves in doing the
job right first time.” Mike says.
“With manufacturing capability in
Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington
we are able to share workload across
locations, keeping manufacturing inhouse,
providing a flexibility to our
customers and reliability of supply by
cross-utilisation of resources.
“At Smooth-Air, our policy is to provide
a one-stop solution to all our customers
in the HVAC industry. As well as our
manufacturing prowess, we also have the
ability to source items from a wide range of
suppliers both locally and internationally.”
A nationwide operation, Smooth-Air’s
head office is Christchurch, with branches
located in Auckland and Wellington.
Their temporary Christchurch premises
are located at 351c Blenheim Road, just
round the corner from their original
Annex Rd site.
