Reliance Airconditioning handle major upgrade

Perth’s iconic Pan Pacific Hotel has long been a standout in Western Australia’s hospitality scene.

When the owners embarked on a major refurbishment in May 2023, their goal was not only to give the grand Adelaide Terrace building a fresh, contemporary look but also to o er guests a cooler and more comfortable experience.

The transformation included the complete refurbishment of 392 guest rooms and suites and a redesign of the convention-level ballrooms and meeting rooms.

The entire lobby and the exclusive Pacific Club Lounge on Level 7 also received a stunning makeover.

"The new system is fantastic, and Reliance delivered everything on time."

But it wasn’t just the interiors that got a revamp – business and leisure travellers alike can now enjoy a whole new level of luxury, thanks to a state-of-the-art air-conditioning system installed as part of the renovation.

The owners enlisted Reliance Airconditioning to handle this major upgrade.

“When we decided to fully renovate the hotel, we knew it was the perfect time to overhaul the air-conditioning system as well,” said Afzal Mahajan, Director of Engineering at Pan Pacific Perth. “This would minimise disruption to guests in the future.

The renovation lasted 16 months, and Reliance Airconditioning did an outstanding job.”

“They replaced all the cooling valves, piping, filters, and supply grills. They also installed new actuators and control valves.

Given that the hotel is housed in a 50-year-old building, this was the ideal opportunity to modernise our air-conditioning system.”

Mr Mahajan added, “The new system is fantastic, and Reliance delivered everything on time.” Salique Ahmed from Reliance echoed that sentiment, noting that the project was one of the largest contracts they’ve completed in their 14 years of operation.

“We’re very pleased with the outcome,” Mr Ahmed said.

“We installed a new fine coil unit and chilled water system, replacing the existing coils and adding the necessary electrical components to run the system.”

The upgrade spanned 392 rooms, each now equipped with one of the most modern and e cient airconditioning systems available.

“We worked on the project for 13 months, and we’re glad that Pan Pacific Perth is so satisfied with the result,” Mr Ahmed said.
