Silent Heating, Ventilation
& Air Conditioning
Whisper-quiet HVAC systems for recording studios, music production facilities, and specialist environments where noise simply isn't an option. We design and install systems that are imperceptible to the human ear, completely draft-free, and vibration-free.
Recording Studio Showcase
Over the years we've installed silent HVAC systems in countless recording studios across the UK and beyond — working with some of the biggest labels in the industry. These are some of our proudest projects as a family business, and they demonstrate exactly what's possible when noise simply isn't an option.
Ten Eight Seven Mastering
A boutique mastering studio in London requiring ultra-quiet climate control for critical listening. We designed and installed a bespoke system achieving NR20 noise levels with zero vibration transfer — essential for the precision work carried out here.
"Working with Rob and his boys was absolutely painless and the results were so much more than I hoped for. My studio needed a very awkward and demanding installation which he delivered and some. His regular servicing and maintenance has kept my studio in tip top shape."
Owner, Ten Eight Seven Mastering
Strongrooms
One of London's most iconic recording studio complexes, Strongrooms has hosted legendary artists from Björk to The Prodigy. It's always a pleasure installing and maintaining air conditioning systems across their multiple studio spaces — keeping them running silently and efficiently.
"Tried several different HVAC companies before finally meeting Rob Halligan and his team at High Path Air Conditioning. Great work for a fair price and a really lovely crew. Always a pleasure to have them working on a job for us and I am thrilled by some of the bespoke solutions they've devised for us recently. Legends!"
Facility Manager, Strongrooms
Who Needs Silent Systems?
Silent HVAC isn't just for recording studios. We design and install whisper-quiet climate control for homes, offices, medical facilities, libraries, places of worship — anywhere that demands peace and quiet. If standard air conditioning is too noisy for your space, we have the solution.
Over four decades, we've refined our designs to achieve some of the best results in the industry. Our systems are imperceptible to the human ear and completely draft-free — essential for environments where noise, vibration, or air movement would be disruptive.
We provide full working drawings and 3D designs before installation, ensuring complete integration with your building's layout and requirements.
Why Choose Us
Purpose-built solutions for noise-sensitive environments
40+ Years Experience
Four decades of expertise in climate control — with specialist knowledge in silent systems for demanding environments.
NR20 Noise Rating
We design to NR20 or below — the gold standard for environments where silence is essential.
3D Design & Drawings
Full working drawings and 3D visualisations provided before work begins — no surprises, complete integration.
Oversized Ductwork
Lower air velocity through larger ducts means dramatically reduced turbulence and air noise.
Anti-Vibration Mounting
Spring isolators, rubber pads, and flexible connections prevent any vibration transfer to the building structure.
Remote Compressors
Outdoor units positioned away from sensitive spaces — zero compressor noise inside the building.
Silent System Expertise
Vibration Isolation
Complete decoupling from building structure. No vibration transfer to walls, floors, or sensitive equipment.
Draft-Free Delivery
Specially designed diffusers ensure even air distribution without perceptible air movement.
Acoustic Integration
Systems designed to be invisible and inaudible. Hidden grilles and silent plenums throughout.
24/7 Support
Critical environments can't wait — we offer emergency support when you need it most.
What to Know
Important considerations before you enquire
New Builds & Renovations
Silent HVAC systems are typically suited to new builds or significant renovations. The ductwork, acoustic attenuators, and isolation mounts need to be integrated into the building fabric — this isn't a retrofit job.
Involved Installation
These are bespoke engineering projects, not off-the-shelf solutions. We work closely with architects and builders to ensure everything is planned correctly from the outset.
Investment Required
Silent systems require more equipment and specialist installation than standard HVAC. They're more expensive, but for environments where noise is unacceptable, they're worth every penny.
Planning is Essential
The earlier you involve us in your project, the better the outcome. We provide full working drawings and 3D designs to ensure seamless integration with your build.
