Orbital Climate Solutions

What Orbital Climate Solutions does

Orbital Climate Solutions LTD is a UK-based HVAC and renewable energy installer headquartered in Potters Bar, Hertfordshire, operating primarily across Hertfordshire and North London. The company designs, installs, and services air conditioning systems for both residential and commercial properties, alongside air source heat pump (ASHP) installations, ventilation solutions (including HRV/ERV systems), and solar PV systems. Its technology stack centers on branded OEM equipment from Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric, augmented by IoT-enabled smart thermostats, sensors, and building management system integrations that allow real-time monitoring and coordination of HVAC components. Co-Director Steve Welsford established Orbital Renewables Ltd to house the renewable energy offerings (solar PV and ASHPs), indicating a structured separation between traditional HVAC and renewables lines.

The firm operates a sales-led, direct-distribution model with no reseller or third-party channel partners. It captures demand through field account managers (commercial and large residential), phone-based inside sales (0800 246 1615), WhatsApp messaging, and structured online quotation forms (8-step for AC, 5-step for ASHP). Revenue is generated from four streams: one-time installation projects (HVAC, ASHP, ventilation, solar PV hardware), recurring annual service and maintenance contracts with priority 24/7 response, solar PV product sales with installation, and emergency callout fees.

The customer base is predominantly residential SMBs/homeowners with a smaller mid-market commercial overlay (e.g., office installations for firms such as RW Archive in Hatfield), supported by a high volume of named testimonials rather than a few enterprise anchors. The company is privately held, founder/Co-Director managed, with 1-10 reported employees, no disclosed funding rounds, no patents, and no proprietary AI/ML assets; its principal competitive leverage comes from 30+ years of stated regional brand reputation, accredited installer status with major OEMs, F-Gas and SafeContractor compliance certifications, and an integrated install-plus-maintenance service model.

Broad incumbents

• Daikin UK: UK subsidiary of the global HVAC/heat-pump manufacturer Orbital is accredited to install. Comparable product range (AC, ASHP, ventilation) at national scale; represents both supplier and potential competitor via direct programs.
• British Gas (Centrica): UK energy and home services giant with a national heating, cooling, and maintenance service. Competes with Orbital for residential HVAC installations and service contracts, with far greater scale and brand reach.
• Baxi: Major UK heating equipment manufacturer with an accredited installer network. Overlaps with Orbital's heating/heat-pump focus and similarly relies on third-party installers to reach end customers.
• Mitie: UK facilities management and building services group with HVAC installation, maintenance, and energy services for commercial clients. Comparable commercial HVAC offering at vastly greater scale and geographic reach.
• Mitsubishi Electric Living Systems UK: UK arm of a global HVAC OEM that Orbital is accredited to install. Represents both a partner and a competitive threat — comparable product line with national distribution and direct-customer reach.

Direct peers

• Cool Designs Ltd: UK-based specialist air conditioning installer serving both residential and commercial clients. Directly comparable to Orbital Climate in product mix (AC, ventilation, heat pumps), regional service model, and accredited installer status with major OEMs.
• Pacifica: UK heating, plumbing, and renewables service provider with strong residential maintenance contract base. Comparable to Orbital in subscription-style service revenue and multi-product HVAC portfolio, though significantly larger.

Regional players

• BoilerJuice / Local Heroes (Centrica): UK marketplaces/platforms connecting customers with local heating, plumbing, and AC engineers. Competes with Orbital for the same residential service demand via a tech-enabled, multi-operator model.
