Commercial Air Conditioning Installation
VRV and VRF systems, split units and fan coil units for schools, healthcare buildings, care homes and offices. F-Gas certified, installed with the building in use.
We design and install air conditioning from a single split system in a nursery to a 70-room VRV installation. Refrigerant pipework, condensate drainage, power supplies, central controllers and user training are all part of the package, and removal and reinstatement of existing systems is carried out in accordance with F-Gas requirements.
At Bridgewood House Care Home we installed a Daikin VRV system with 70 wall-mounted indoor units and 12 outdoor units in a fully occupied home. At The Linden Centre we installed 30 air conditioning units using specialist anti-ligature solutions suited to a mental health hospital.

Are you F-Gas certified?
Yes. Preou is F-Gas certificated, and removal, recovery and reinstatement of refrigerant systems is carried out in accordance with F-Gas requirements.
Can air conditioning be installed in an occupied care home or hospital?
Yes. Bridgewood House was fully occupied by residents needing a high level of care throughout our VRV installation. Works were planned around daily routines with noise, safeguarding and site cleanliness tightly controlled.
Do you deal with planning conditions on outdoor units?
Where planning sets noise or appearance requirements we design the enclosure to suit. At Bridgewood House the ground floor outdoor units sit in custom acoustic housings to meet the local planning requirement.
Can one system heat and cool?
Yes. The VRF systems at Queen Elizabeth's School and the split system in the nursery at St Mary's provide both heating and cooling.
