How we work in Perth and Kinross
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 Perth and Kinross 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.
Points to plan for in Perth and Kinross
Phasing
In occupied buildings we plan the work floor by floor so the business keeps running.
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.
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.
Working hours
Most Perth and Kinross businesses prefer noisy work outside trading hours. Early starts, evenings and weekends can be arranged and are priced up front.
Premises we work in around Perth and Kinross
- 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.
Two rules matter for most businesses in Scotland: GB F-gas rules (leak checks from 5 tonnes CO2e) and the periodic energy inspection for systems of 12 kW or more.
Your questions answered
How much does a VRF system cost in Perth and Kinross?
Guide prices in Perth and Kinross 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 Fife, Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire and Dundee and Angus?
Yes. Alongside Perth and Kinross, we also cover Fife, Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire and Dundee and Angus. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
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.
What is heat recovery VRF?
A version that can cool some zones and heat others at the same time, moving heat around the building instead of dumping it outside.
