TF Solutions, in partnership with Fujitsu Air Conditioning and Lawton Tubes has donated, designed and installed a state-of-the-art Fujitsu VRF air conditioning system worth £30,000 to The Donna Louise Children’s Hospice in Staffordshire.
The hospice is the company’s nominated charity which provides outstanding levels of treatment and support for children battling life limiting conditions across Staffordshire and Cheshire.
This project represents the biggest donation that TF Solutions has made to the hospice to date. The company has been raising money for the charity for more than four years and has raised over £10,000 so far.
The project has been designed and planned in its entirety by the Ice Men and the system and all installation materials provided completely free of charge to The Donna Louise. They have been busy on site for several weeks with a team of contractors installing the system and are now ready to complete work on the environmentally friendly, energy-saving air-conditioning system into the hospice. The system itself has the capacity to cool five patient bedrooms as well as a parents’ lounge and a conference room, allowing for heating and cooling in key areas of the hospice.
TF Solutions’ technical services manager, Lewis Jones, said: “We have been fortunate enough to work with Fujitsu in providing its highly energy efficient VR2 three pipe system for the hospice. The installation has been completed to the highest standards with nothing spared. The system allows for simultaneous heating, cooling and energy recovery covering all of the above rooms in the hospice.
“Due to the sensitivity of the environment, we decided to opt for ducted evaporators so that future service and maintenance work can be conducted via the loft space to reduce disruption to occupants of the bedrooms below. These ducted units will also allow for better air distribution and minimise the risk of draughts. As The Donna Louise is a non–profit organisation we were extremely aware of running costs for any equipment we installed, and this system will enable their utility costs to reduce significantly without affecting the comfort of residents and guests.”
Andrew Colclough, director of operations for The Donna Louise, said: “We’re absolutely thrilled with this project and delighted that the work is now almost complete in time for the festive season. Children and families staying at the hospice will now benefit from temperature controlled rooms, making their stay here as comfortable as possible.”
