About Vital Air
Our Story
In a fast-changing industry and with an ever-increasing focus on sustainability, Vital Air was formed to support its customers in the delivery of excellent indoor environments.
We are passionate about the importance of clean air and how HVAC systems play a significant role in delivering this. Through close collaboration with our customers and partners, we identify systems that are innovative, timely and energy efficient.
We appreciate and value the importance of building long-term relationships. With Vital Air, you can expect support at every stage of your project, as well as updates on the latest industry innovations and access to product and CPD training.
Our Experience
Tim is a Sales Consultant with over 25 years commercial experience in HVAC, having worked with innovative, market-leading manufacturers throughout his career. He is focused on providing energy-efficient, low-carbon solutions in a fast-changing business sector.
As well as many years' experience supplying air handling units, air conditioning, ventilation solutions and heating products, Tim has also been active in the wider industry, having introduced new technology into the UK market and served on various committees to influence the road map for the HVAC industry.
Our Approach
We believe a collaborative approach is key to ensuring a lasting relationship and the best solution for each project. To this end, we work with all key project delivery partners, including end users, consultants, contractors and facilities management companies.
We identify innovative, energy-efficient solutions for specific projects, providing product selections and technical information, as well as keeping up to date with new product releases and industry news.
We also provide CPDs on a wide range of topics, including:
• F-Gas regulations
• Basics of VRF
• Ventilation - improving indoor air quality
• Sustainability - the path to decarbonisation
Our Solutions
Air Conditioning Systems
We offer a wide range of air conditioning products from individual splits, multi systems (with some also providing hot water), through to VRF for larger projects.
With product ranges from market-leading manufacturers, including Daikin and Fujitsu, we can provide innovative, competitive and energy-efficient solutions.
Our technically-focused approach means we can support contractors and consultants through the design and selection process to get the right system for each project.
Continued product development brings new opportunities. For example, R32 refrigerant has a significantly lower global warming potential and improved energy efficiency; as more effective filtration technology comes on line, healthier indoor environments can be achieved more effectively.
Ventilation
Ventilation is key to ensuring a healthy indoor environment. We offer a variety of solutions from central air handling units serving a whole building, through to individual units for specific rooms. We have partnered with the most energy-efficient manufacturers to deliver low-carbon projects for our customers across all sectors.
Preconfigured units are available from stock and come complete with either rotary or counterflow plate heat exchangers. As all are tested to the latest international standards, our customers can specify and install with confidence.
For residential projects we have a comprehensive range of heat recovery ventilation systems providing healthy, energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly solutions.
Radiant Panels
Radiant panels are an innovative, energy-efficient heating solution suitable for a variety of different sectors, including healthcare, education, manufacturing and commercial. The panels use infrared radiation to provide heating directly to the objects and occupants in the room rather than warming the air.
Recognising the need to deliver low-carbon heating solutions, radiant panels have now been developed using low temperature hot water, ideal for heat pump applications.
Radiant panels are an efficient way of creating a comfortable environment and are effective even when installed at a height of up to 30m.
Underfloor heating
Energy efficiency is a significant benefit of underfloor heating. With the system operating at lower water temperatures than conventional heating systems, overall energy consumption can be reduced.
These systems are now being incorporated into many new residential developments by some of the UK’s largest house builders who recognise the importance of moving towards a more sustainable approach.
We can provide full design services for your specific projects, whether that's a new build or renovation, apartment or commercial property.
Air source heat pumps
With the continued drive to reduce carbon emissions and move away from traditional gas fired boilers, air source heat pumps are an extremely energy-efficient way of heating homes and reducing carbon emissions.
Energy is extracted from the outside air and used to provide heating and hot water. Using refrigerant in the system means that heat can still be generated even when the outside temperatures are below freezing.
To support the move towards these energy-efficient systems, the government is running the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), an incentive offering up to £7,500 towards the purchase and installation of an air source heat pump.
