How much does a VRF system cost in Currie?
Our guide range in Currie is £2,350–£4,750 per indoor unit (whole system) before VAT; a typical job (office floor of 10–16 indoor units) is £23,500–£76,500 plus VAT. The fixed price follows a free survey.
VRF (variable refrigerant flow) — called VRV by some manufacturers — is a commercial air conditioning system where one outdoor unit, or a bank of them, serves many indoor units through a shared refrigerant network.

How a job in Currie works
Survey and loads
We calculate loads zone by zone and check roof or plant space, risers and ceiling voids.
System design
Outdoor units, indoor units, branch boxes and pipe sizes are designed together, including the refrigerant charge and any leak detection.
Phased first fix
Pipework and controls cabling go in floor by floor, often out of hours in occupied buildings. We keep work areas in Currie screened and tidy at the end of each day.
Pressure test and charge
The network is pressure tested, evacuated and charged with the calculated refrigerant quantity.
Commissioning
Each indoor unit is commissioned and the controls set up, with as-fitted drawings and F-gas records handed over.
Local points to consider
Plant space
Outdoor units need clear air flow, structural support and safe access for servicing.
Roof and height work
Flat roofs, high walls and atriums need the right access equipment and edge protection. We plan towers, MEWPs or scaffold before the job, not on the day.
Phasing
In occupied buildings we plan the work floor by floor so the business keeps running.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Currie often come down to access — loading restrictions, parking for the van and getting equipment onto a roof. We check this at survey and plan deliveries around it.
Typical premises in Currie
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
Compliance in Scotland: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and systems with an effective output of 12 kW or more need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).

Guide prices in Currie run from about £2,350 to £4,750 per indoor unit (whole system), plus VAT. A typical job (office floor of 10–16 indoor units) costs £23,500–£76,500 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover Balerno, Penicuik and Broxburn?
Yes. Alongside Currie, we also cover Balerno, Penicuik and Broxburn. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
Which postcodes do you cover in Currie?
All of them, including EH14. Give us your postcode when you enquire and we will confirm the visit details.
Can VRF connect to our BMS?
Yes, through the manufacturer's interface. We specify the right gateway at design stage.
Does a VRF system need F-gas leak checks?
Usually yes. Most VRF systems hold enough refrigerant to exceed 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent, which triggers at least annual leak checks and record keeping.
