PRA Air Conditioning

Air conditioning supply, installation and maintenance across the Midlands

PRA Air Conditioning is a UK air conditioning specialist serving Birmingham, Wolverhampton, the Midlands and customers elsewhere in the country. The company describes a complete offer that runs from supplying equipment to installation, servicing, cleaning and repair, and it works with both domestic and commercial clients. Its stated customer base includes offices, shops, surgeries and waiting rooms, pharmacies, salons, industrial premises and private homes, as well as commercial property management agents and end users.

For clients who only need equipment, the company also supplies air conditioning systems and mobile air conditioning units without an installation contract.

Systems and brands handled

The range covers home air conditioning, commercial air conditioning and ventilation systems, HVAC, industrial HVAC, air purifiers and system design. PRA presents itself as an approved installer for Toshiba, Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin, Midea, LG, Sanyo and Samsung equipment.

Service, repairs and emergency response

Beyond new installations, the company carries out maintenance, servicing, cleaning and repairs, including breakdown call-outs. It also operates a 24-hour, seven-days-a-week emergency response service, a separate offering from its ordinary working arrangements. The site includes a dedicated section on R22 replacement, aimed at systems using that older refrigerant.

Premises the company works in

The list of settings covered is broad and specific. On the commercial side it names pharmacies, chemists and veterinary practices; dentists, doctors' surgeries and health centres; schools, colleges and universities; beauty salons, health spas and hairdressing salons; shopping centres and malls; factories and industrial sites; offices; estate and letting agents; restaurants, hotels and bars; gyms; laboratories and computer rooms. On the domestic side it mentions lofts, barn conversions, new builds, summer houses, conservatories, static caravans and bedrooms.

Heat pump grant and VAT position

The company highlights the government's Boiler Upgrade Scheme, under which air conditioning systems are classified as heat pumps. It states that qualifying households can claim up to £7,500, subject to conditions: only MCS-certified installations are eligible, the grant requires replacing a fossil fuel heating system and a valid EPC is needed. PRA argues that units provide both heating and cooling, reduce reliance on a boiler for anything beyond hot water, cost less to install than air source systems and need less maintenance than heat pumps. Separately, the site notes that no VAT applies to new domestic installations until March 2027 under a government scheme.

Tools, credentials and customer feedback

Prospective customers can request a free virtual site survey or use an online calculator to estimate the cost of a system. The company lists PASMA, ISO, IPAF, CHAS, DBS-checked staff, REFCOM, SafeContractor and warranty among its credentials, and describes itself as an approved installer. The site displays a Google rating of 12 reviews, with individual comments referring to installations in homes and to a walk-in chiller restored to service over a weekend.
