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.
Covering Jarrow and nearby
Jarrow has a compact centre of shops, cafés and offices, with business units on its outskirts. Newcastle upon Tyne is about 8 km away.
We work across Jarrow's postcode districts, including NE32. Neighbouring towns we cover include Hebburn, Wallsend and South Shields. Buildings across Tyne and Wear range from converted period offices to modern units with deep ceiling voids, so we measure each site rather than relying on a standard package.

- Two-pipe (heat pump) or three-pipe / two-pipe heat recovery system design
- Refrigerant pipework sizing, branch selectors and refrigerant charge calculation

How it works in Jarrow
Survey and loads
We calculate loads zone by zone and check roof or plant space, risers and ceiling voids. For sites in Jarrow we confirm access and parking beforehand.
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.
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.
Before you book in Jarrow
Plant space
Outdoor units need clear air flow, structural support and safe access for servicing.
Conservation areas
Historic streets and listed buildings in and around Jarrow are more likely to need planning permission for outdoor units on visible elevations. We check with the local planning authority before work is booked.
Leak checks
Larger VRF systems usually exceed 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent, so they need at least annual F-gas leak checks — more often at 50 tonnes and above.
Shared buildings
In multi-let buildings, roof space, risers and plant areas are often controlled by a managing agent. We work to their permits and method-statement requirements.
Types of premises we cover in Jarrow
- 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 England: refrigerant work falls under GB F-gas rules, and buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total need a periodic energy inspection (often called TM44).
