TF Solutions to distribute Hitachi HVAC

UK: A week after the ending of its air conditioning distributorship with General, TF Solutions has added Hitachi to its product portfolio, becoming the exclusive nationwide distributor of the brand.

From next month, UK customers will have access to the full Hitachi HVAC range, stocked in 16 TF Solutions branches, and available for next-day delivery. 

This new partnership brings Hitachi HVAC products, such as its centrifugal VRF system that allows indoor installation of an outdoor unit, to TF Solutions’ customers.

Andy Cherrill, TF Solutions’ sales and business development director, described Hitachi as “a huge international brand” and “something of a sleeping giant” in the UK. “From VRF systems to residential, we know they can offer our customers systems of exceptional quality and value, backed by our expert support and knowledgeable team,” he said. 

Hitachi Cooling and Heating claims to be the largest AC company based in Europe, with products manufactured in its state-of-the-art facility in Barcelona, Spain.
