HVAC + R
Are you on a retrofit journey? We’re here to help you meet regulation, compliance, and quality standards for your residents. We are here to help.
Helping to connect you to reliable, expert, and compliant industry specialists.
In any domestic or commercial building, controlling indoor climate, protecting public health and preserving essential goods is critical for all occupants and employees.
HVAC + R solutions are designed to keep homes and workplaces comfortable while ensuring clean airflow.
HVAC solutions, plus the refrigeration element, are rapidly becoming crucial in the UK. The government targets HVAC and building decarbonisation through the £15 billion Warm Homes Plan, the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (which offers grants up to £7,500 for heat pumps) and the Future Homes Standard, which mandates low-carbon heating in new builds starting in 2027 alongside aggressive HFC refrigerant phase-out reforms.
All HVAC and refrigeration (HVAC + R) systems in the UK must comply with strict regulations. These include the Building Regulations 2010 (parts F and L), F-Gas Regulations and HSE guidelines for workplace air or legionella risk.
At NHC Procurement, we offer HVAC + R solutions through a dynamic purchasing system designed for public sector organisations, local authorities and social housing providers across the UK. Our trusted suppliers can support your HVAC + R projects to ensure your property meets all building standards and health and safety regulations.
What is the HVAC-R solution?
HVAC + R, or Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, focused on ensuring human thermal comfort and air quality in residential and commercial buildings, with the addition of dedicated commercial or industrial cooling and freezing technology.
Improving energy efficiency in housing start as part of the drive to net zero is one of the biggest challenges facing social housing providers today.
Recent reports show that this could cost an estimated £330 billion, with 29 million homes requiring retrofit solutions to meet the 2050 net zero target.
Given the time, investment and resource needed to meet the UK government’s decarbonisation target, achieving value is crucial for procurement, category and compliance personnel.
At NHC Procurement, we understand that complex processes, ineffective IT systems and cost can add to the burden of choosing appropriate HVAC solutions for your properties and occupants.
That’s why, in partnership with our trusted suppliers, we are committed to helping you to maintain decent homes with cost-effective repair strategies ensuring no undue risks to your assets.

Your next steps
-
Heating systems
Heating systems are used to warm buildings by generating and distributing thermal energy through furnaces, boilers, heat pumps or split configurations and control indoor climate.
-
Ventilation systems
Ventilation systems are used to replace stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air whilst controlling moisture and filtering out dust or pollutants using a network of fans, ducts and vents.
-
Air conditioning systems
Air conditioning systems manage indoor climate by combining temperature control, humidity regulation and air circulation.
-
Refrigeration systems
Refrigeration systems use a closed-loop cycle with a circulating fluid – a refrigerant – to move heat from inside a building to the outdoors and provide comfortable cooling.
