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.
Marlow and surrounding areas
Marlow is a smaller town in Buckinghamshire, with independent shops, offices, surgeries, pubs and local business units. High Wycombe is about 7 km away.

How it works in Marlow
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. In Marlow we agree timings around your opening hours.
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.
Points to plan for in Marlow
Plant space
Outdoor units need clear air flow, structural support and safe access for servicing.
Leased premises
If your Marlow premises are leased, the landlord's written consent is usually needed for external units, wall penetrations and roof access. We provide drawings and data sheets for the request.
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.
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.
Typical premises in Marlow
- Hotels and hospitality: quiet bedroom units, public-area cooling and heat recovery for hotels.
- Offices: zoned cooling and heating for open-plan floors, meeting rooms and comms rooms.
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).

How long does a VRF system last?

When is VRF better than separate split systems?
Usually once you need more than about six to eight indoor units, want central control, or are short of space for outdoor units. One outdoor unit can replace many.
