Our Story

Born and bred in the Midlands with over 15 years of experience, Taylor Grace Air Conditioning started with the goal of providing high-quality HVAC systems. Little did we know what was to come.

Our journey began with the installation of systems designed by others, giving us invaluable exposure to challenges and opportunities for optimisation. Working to maintain and service the systems we installed led us to be able to closely monitor, analyse and identify areas where improvements could be made. This inspired us to take a more proactive approach to system design and implementation. Recognising the need for smarter, more efficient solutions, we established TGAC Consultancy – dedicated to bridging the gap between design and practical functionality.

Today, all elements of TGAC are built on this foundation of continuous learning, innovation and a commitment to delivering systems that perform seamlessly in real-world conditions.

Our commitment to excellence and innovation has helped us foster a loyal base of domestic, commercial and international clients – relationships we are incredibly proud of.

Our expansion has allowed us to grow our team whilst collaborating with educational providers to create opportunities for students from all backgrounds. Our goal is to pave the way for sustainable and successful careers in this ever-evolving field, to help shape the future of our industry.

We take great pride in being a Midlands-based business and team. Our roots have played a vital role in shaping who we are today, enabling us to supply multiple clients worldwide with the full package: design, installation, service, maintenance and consultancy. More importantly, they have given us the foundation to contribute to the long-term sustainability and vibrancy of our industry.

At Taylor Grace, we are not just about HVAC systems – we are about building lasting relationships, fostering innovation and ensuring a strong future for the industry we love.
