This week we sat down with Craig Scott, of CS Air, to chat about where he started, where he is now, and everything in between.

Craig has been in the HVAC industry for 25 years, and first entered it at Republic Refrigeration and Airco, where his interest was sparked and he began his apprenticeship. Craig went on to work for Republic Refrigeration and Airco for two years thereafter, before moving to ACS, Air-conditioning and Pump Installations, where he worked for the next 10 years.

In 1999 Craig opened his own company and CS Air was born. Over the respective 18 years CS Air has worked on many exciting projects, and found it’s specialty in central plants particularly chilled water plants.

A current example of an exciting project that CS Air is working on, is the systems installation for the new Cornubia Virgin Active. Virgin Active has been a client of CS Air for nearly 25 years, and CS Air has been involved in the majority of Natal’s Virgin Active installations. Another project that CS Air has been able to “sink their teeth into” of late, is the new Sibaya Dunes development, which involves the installation of large Samsung VRV systems in the presidential apartments.

Craig is very passionate about what he does, and he states that his passion comes from his love of the challenge the HVAC industry provides. One of the major challenges of the industry is the technological advancements, which companies must keep abreast of. However Craig stated, that with the support of suppliers who bring in products that allow CS Air to provide the greatest efficiency and cost effectiveness to its clients, these challenges can be overcome.
