How much does a VRF system cost in Warwickshire?
In Warwickshire, guide prices run from about £2,450 to £4,950 per indoor unit (whole system), plus VAT. A typical job (office floor of 10–16 indoor units) usually comes to £24,500–£79,500 plus VAT. You get a fixed written quote after the 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.
Our coverage in Warwickshire
We cover all of Warwickshire, including Nuneaton, Rugby, Leamington Spa, Warwick and Bedworth. Wherever your premises are, the survey, quote and installation follow the same steps.
Postcode districts we cover include B46, B78, B96, CV10, CV23, CV35, LE10 and WR11. In Warwickshire, outdoor unit positions are often the deciding factor: a rear flat roof or yard is usually straightforward, while a front elevation may need landlord or planning consent first.
Included as standard
- Heat load and diversity calculations for every zone
- Refrigerant pipework sizing, branch selectors and refrigerant charge calculation
- Leak detection where the refrigerant concentration limits require it
- Central controls, scheduling and BMS integration
- Phased installation, pressure testing, commissioning and full F-gas records

How we work in Warwickshire
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 Warwickshire 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.
Things to check in Warwickshire
Refrigerant in occupied rooms
Because one network carries a large refrigerant charge, small rooms on the system are checked against the safety limits in BS EN 378 and may need leak detection.
Access and parking
Town-centre jobs in Warwickshire 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.
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.
Premises we work in around Warwickshire
- 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.
In England, systems holding 5 tonnes CO2 equivalent of refrigerant or more fall under GB F-gas rules, with regular leak checks and records; buildings with more than 12 kW of air conditioning in total also need a periodic energy inspection.
Questions about VRF / VRV in Warwickshire
How much does a VRF system cost in Warwickshire?
Guide prices in Warwickshire run from about £2,450 to £4,950 per indoor unit (whole system), plus VAT. A typical job (office floor of 10–16 indoor units) costs £24,500–£79,500 plus VAT. We fix the price in writing after a free survey.
Do you also cover the West Midlands, Leicestershire and Worcestershire?
Yes. Alongside Warwickshire, we also cover the West Midlands, Leicestershire and Worcestershire. Each has its own page with local guide prices.
How long does a VRF system last?
With regular servicing, commercial VRF equipment commonly runs for 15 years or more. Lifespan depends on use, maintenance and the operating environment.
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.
