Do I need planning permission?
Outdoor units are usually Permitted Development if under 0.6 m³ and sited away from boundaries. We check your constraints in the survey.
Air conditioning & VRF • F-Gas / REFCOM
Air conditioning that cools properly, heats well, and runs quietly.
From a single bedroom wall unit to 141-cassette VRF systems at London Business School, Kinergy designs AC around the space — not around the box on the lorry. Daikin, Mitsubishi, Panasonic and Samsung, installed by F-Gas/REFCOM-certified engineers.

System types
Split, multi-split, VRF — and when each makes sense.
Single split
One outdoor unit, one indoor unit. Ideal for a single room — bedroom, home office, small shop. Sleek wall, floor or ducted indoor options.
Multi-split
One outdoor unit serving 2–8 indoor units. Tidy for multi-room residential retrofits where outdoor space is limited.
VRF / VRV
Variable refrigerant flow for commercial sites — offices, retail, gyms, education. Simultaneous heating and cooling across zones with one piped system.
Ducted & concealed
Where a visible indoor unit isn't wanted — ducted through ceiling voids with discreet grilles. Premium residential and hotel spec.

Commercial AC capability
VRF systems at scale.
Kinergy delivered the VRF replacement at London Business School (430 kW total cooling across 141 indoor units), three fresh-air AHUs with integrated heat pump condensers (100 kW) at the RBS/NatWest Coin Base Centre, and three outdoor condensers feeding 20 cassettes at Unit 4 Laporte Way in Luton. Retail fit-outs like NEXT Collection Pods use compact fresh-air AHUs with DX coils and pre-insulated ductwork.

F-Gas compliance and planned maintenance.
Commercial AC systems above certain refrigerant charges require statutory F-Gas leak checks. Kinergy offers planned preventative maintenance contracts for residential, retail and commercial sites — filter cleans, coil checks, electrical inspections, refrigerant logging and compliance reports.
AC FAQs
Common questions.
Can AC heat as well as cool?
Yes — reverse-cycle heat pump AC units heat efficiently down to around -15°C outside.
How long does a commercial VRF take to install?
Depends heavily on building access and scale — we break tender work into phased programmes that don't disrupt trading.
Do you service kit you didn't install?
Yes, subject to a first-visit inspection. Good for landlords inheriting existing AC.
