Essential Air Solutions completed a critical HVAC upgrade at the Cooktown Events Centre, replacing outdated DX split systems with two state-of-the-art Temperzone 84.7kW DX units. The project also involved installing new pipework, advanced control systems, and a modern mechanical services switchboard to ensure seamless operation.
