PRECISION AIR CONDITIONING & REFRIGERATION - Key Persons


Ashe McKay

I am born and raised in the Counties Manukau area and now live with my wife and 2 children in Waiuku. I have 14 years experience in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry, where I was a key figure in helping build one of Auckland's largest heat pump and air conditioning companies. I specialised in installation, diagnostics and repairs of commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems and residential heat pumps/air conditioning systems. I have worked on remote islands in the Pacific such as Nauru and Raoul Island. I have worked on a wide range of equipment from chillers and ice machines to wine vats and aircraft air conditioning. I am a qualified engineer and hold a trade certificate in Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Level 4 and a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Level 5. The reason for going into business myself is because I believe in providing consumers with a high quality of work carried out by qualified trades people supplying great customer service.
