Platinum Air Conditioning Rebrands as Platmech

Introduction

Platinum Air Conditioning Limited, founded in 2014 by Donal Somers, has rebranded as Platmech, marking a significant milestone in the company’s journey. The new brand reflects both the evolution and the ambition of a business that has earned a strong reputation for technical excellence across all aspects of HVAC over the past 11 years.

"To support its future growth, Platmech is benefiting from new capital investment and the appointment of four new directors to its board: property industry veteran Kevin Stanley, founder of Sonbrook; HVAC entrepreneur Gerry McDonagh, who sold his refrigerant business, RSL in 2024; and Eoin O’Donoghue and Eoin O’Sullivan, both bringing valuable operational and commercial experience tothe leadership team."

While heat pump systems have long formed part of the company’s service offering, the rebrand signals an expansion in Platmech’s ability to deliver larger-scale residential and commercial heat pump projects. These include new home developments and the full spectrum of commercial property and industrial applications. A strategic partnership with a major global heat pump manufacturer is due to be announced shortly, reinforcing Platmech’s commitment to cutting-edge technology and sustainable heating solutions.

Platmech’s work is built on a deep understanding of refrigerant technology and system integration, experience honed through years of successful delivery across air conditioning and mechanical HVAC contracts. With a reputation for reliability and technical know-how, the company has become a trusted name among developers, contractors, and clients nationwide.

The Platmech name was chosen for its simplicity and quiet confidence, reflecting a company focused on delivery, innovation, and partnership. With strengthened leadership and a clear growth strategy, Platmech is set to expand its presence in both Ireland and the UK, delivering smarter, sustainable mechanical solutions for the next generation.
