Air Handling Unit Solutions We Supply
Our lasting relationships with leading manufacturers across the UK and Europe give us access to a wide range of AHU configurations suited to commercial, industrial, healthcare, and specialist applications.
All equipment we supply is Eurovent certified and ErP 2016 compliant, supplied with full manufacturer warranty as standard.
Whatever the application or project type, we can source a unit built to the correct specification from the outset.
Standard Air Handling Units
Standard AHUs are the baseline configuration for commercial HVAC applications, handling fresh air conditioning and distribution across a wide range of building types.
They are available across multiple sizes and air volume ratings and form the core of many commercial ventilation designs.
Hygienic Air Handling Units
Hygienic AHUs are designed for environments where internal cleanliness is a compliance requirement, including healthcare, pharmaceutical, and food production facilities.
Smooth internal panels, sealed construction, and specialist drain layouts are specified to meet the cleaning and inspection requirements of the application.
Swimming Pool Air Handling Units
Swimming pool environments create specific demands on air handling equipment, including high humidity loads and exposure to chlorinated air.
We source units built to withstand these conditions using corrosion resistant materials and suitable heat recovery arrangements.
Modular Air Handling Units
Modular AHUs are built in sections for easier transportation and site assembly, making them the practical choice where access to the plant area is restricted or the unit needs to be installed within confined spaces.
In our experience, modular air handling units are particularly suited to refurbishment projects, listed buildings, and sites where plant room dimensions or stairwell access rule out pre assembled units.
Compact Air Handling Units
Compact AHUs deliver the same core performance as standard units within a reduced footprint, suited to projects where ceiling void depth, plant room size, or structural constraints limit what can be installed.
Our manufacturer relationships allow us to cover a wide range of compact configurations without compromising performance.
Custom Built Air Handling Units
Some projects present requirements that fall outside standard configurations entirely.
Whether that involves an unusual footprint, a specific performance target, or integration with an existing building system, our manufacturer partners can engineer a unit around the exact dimensions and operational requirements of the project.
AHU Refurbishments
Where full unit replacement is not viable or commercially justified, we can support AHU refurbishment projects.
We supply replacement sections, upgrade components, and assist in re engineering configurations to extend the operational life of existing plant.
This is often a cost effective option where the existing casing remains structurally sound but the internal components or performance levels no longer meet the building’s requirements.
AHU Flatpack Services
AHU flatpack services allow units to be delivered in component form for assembly on site, removing the access constraints that rule out pre assembled equipment.
These services are particularly useful for rooftop installations, restricted mechanical spaces, refurbishment projects, or phased construction programmes.
Heat Recovery Units
Heat recovery is now a standard specification requirement across many modern commercial and public sector buildings.
The type of exchanger specified has a direct impact on energy performance and system design, which is why we advise on the most suitable configuration from the outset.
Plate Heat Exchangers
Plate heat exchangers transfer energy between supply and extract air streams through a fixed matrix of thin plates.
With no moving parts, they are mechanically simple and low maintenance, making them well suited to applications where cross contamination between air streams is not acceptable.
Rotary Heat Exchangers
Rotary heat exchangers use a slowly rotating wheel to transfer both sensible and latent heat between air streams.
They often achieve higher energy recovery efficiencies than plate alternatives and are commonly specified where overall system efficiency is the primary driver.
Run Around Coil Systems
Run around coil systems use a pumped glycol loop to transfer heat between supply and exhaust ductwork that cannot be physically connected.
For buildings where supply and extract systems are located separately or on different floors, they provide a practical and flexible solution.
Heat Recovery Units with Integrated Fans
Heat recovery units with integrated fans combine the exchanger and fan into a single packaged unit.
The reduced footprint and simplified system arrangement make them well suited to smaller commercial applications and refurbishment projects where a full AHU is not required.
Fan Unit Air Handling Solutions
Fan units handle air movement independently of a full AHU. These are specified where the application calls for dedicated supply, extract, or inline air movement without the need for full conditioning sections.
We source units across a wide range of configurations and sizes and advise on the most suitable arrangement for the ventilation design from the outset.
Supply Air Fan Units
Supply air fan units draw fresh air into a building or occupied space and deliver it through ductwork.
They are commonly specified where a dedicated supply stream is required alongside a separate extract system, or where controlled positive pressure is needed.
Getting the sizing, static pressure, and motor specification right is something we work through with your engineer before equipment is ordered. EC motor options are available where energy efficiency is a priority.
Extract Air Fan Units
Extract air fan units remove stale air, moisture, or contaminants from a space while maintaining indoor air quality without requiring a full AHU.
They are widely used in commercial kitchens, laboratories, plant areas, and wet rooms where targeted extraction is the primary requirement.
Because we work across multiple manufacturers, we recommend the unit that best suits the application rather than pushing a single product range.
Inline Fan Units
Inline fan units sit within the ductwork run rather than at the terminal point, boosting airflow where pressure drop or duct length would otherwise reduce system performance.
For extending existing systems or supplementing airflow in areas that fall short of design conditions, they are often the most practical specification choice.
Lead times can be critical where inline units are added during live programmes, which is why we remain clear about availability and procurement from the outset.
Sectors We Supply Across the UK
CEG supply air handling units across a wide range of sectors throughout Scotland and the wider UK.
We understand that the technical demands vary between facilities, building types, and operational environments, which is why we take the time to understand the project’s priorities before recommending a solution.
Healthcare and Critical Environments
Hospital and clinical projects require precision air handling and often need to meet HTM standards for infection control and air quality.
In critical environments where air supply failure is not an option, both the specification and supply chain require careful management.
We support these projects from early selection stage through to delivery.
Data Centres
Data centres require AHUs built around operational reliability, redundancy, and power usage effectiveness.
Downtime is not an option in these environments, and the energy performance of the air handling equipment has a direct impact on long term operational costs.
Units are specified to meet the precision and resilience standards that critical infrastructure demands.
Hospitality, Retail, and Commercial Offices
For commercial offices, retail spaces, hospitality environments, and mixed use developments, the balance between air quality, acoustic performance, and energy efficiency is often the key specification challenge.
Our manufacturer relationships give us access to a wide range of configurations, including units built to lower acoustic profiles for occupied environments.
We have supplied AHUs and ventilation products to commercial and retail projects across the UK, including the Thistle Centre in Falkirk.
Refurbishment Projects
Refurbishment projects often require modular units or value engineered alternatives because of restrictions around existing ductwork, ceiling voids, structural access, or plant replacement strategy.
This type of project forms a significant part of our workload, and our team can advise on the most practical approach for your facility and programme.
Why M&E Contractors and Consultants Choose CEG
CEG are a supply specialist rather than an installation contractor, and for many M&E teams across Scotland and the UK, that distinction matters.
There is no conflict of interest between our role and theirs.
With over 100 years of combined industry experience across multiple sectors, the contractors and consultants who work with us regularly return for the same reasons.
Expert and Responsive Technical Support
When a specification query comes in or a lead time needs clarified, we respond quickly with a useful answer rather than a holding message.
Our team’s building services background means technical conversations happen at the correct level, without needing to pass through a non technical sales layer.
When programmes move quickly and questions need answered fast, our team remain reachable throughout the project.
Alternatives and Flexibility
If the originally specified unit no longer fits the budget or programme, we work with you to identify a suitable alternative rather than leaving your team to restart the process.
Our access to multiple manufacturer ranges means there is usually a compliant solution available, presented alongside the technical comparison your engineer needs to make a confident decision.
Constructionline Certified
CEG are Constructionline Certified, giving procurement teams and main contractors a compliant route to supplier approval across public sector and commercial frameworks throughout Scotland and the U
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an AHU and an HVAC system?
An HVAC system is the wider heating, ventilation, and air conditioning system that manages a building’s internal environment.
An air handling unit is a specific component within that system, responsible for conditioning and distributing fresh air through ductwork.
Can you supply bespoke air handling units to our specification?
Yes. Bespoke AHU supply forms a standard part of what we do.
Our manufacturer partners can configure units to your exact specification or engineer a solution around a particular project requirement. We work with you through the selection process to ensure the unit suits both the application and programme.
Do you carry out installation?
CEG are a supply specialist and do not carry out installation.
Our role is to ensure the correct equipment arrives on site complete with the technical documentation your M&E team requires to install, commission, and maintain the unit correctly.
There is no conflict of interest between us and the contractors carrying out the physical installation.
What are typical lead times for AHU supply in Scotland?
Lead times vary depending on manufacturer, configuration, and market demand.
We provide realistic turnaround information at quotation stage and keep clients updated if anything changes within the supply chain before delivery.
Do you supply other HVAC products alongside air handling units?
Yes.
Our wider HVAC product range includes grilles, diffusers, louvres, fan coil units, trench heating systems, radiators, air curtains, and ventilation equipment.
For M&E contractors and building services consultants working across multiple HVAC disciplines, we can support several product areas from a single point of contact.
Components and Air Conditioning Sections
AHU components are sometimes specified individually for refurbishment projects, replacement sections, or system upgrades where the main unit remains in place.
We source the full range of AHU sections and internal components, supplied to the same standards as the units themselves.
From supply air fan units that maintain positive pressure and fresh air delivery, to extract units that remove contaminants from kitchens and wet areas, and inline units that boost airflow where duct length reduces performance, our experienced team help ensure the correct unit is matched to the application.
Technical Support from Specification to Delivery
CEG’s involvement does not begin when an order is placed.
We engage at specification stage, remain involved throughout the programme, and stay reachable when questions arise between design, procurement, delivery, and commissioning.
Our involvement regularly includes the following areas.
Specification and Selection
When the specification is still being developed, we work alongside your engineer or building services consultant to help select the correct AHU type, air volume, heat recovery arrangement, and configuration for the application.
Because we work across multiple manufacturers, we can provide genuine alternatives rather than simply supplying the easiest option.
Value Engineering
If budgets shift or lead times begin affecting the programme, we work through the options with you.
Our experience across different manufacturer ranges means we can usually identify a compliant alternative without compromising the performance specification, while giving your team the technical information needed to make a quick decision.
Lead Times and Programme Support
Honest lead time information is something CEG take seriously, because AHU supply chains can change quickly.
We provide realistic turnaround information at quotation stage, keep you updated if circumstances change, and plan procurement around your programme to avoid unnecessary surprises on site.
For projects across Scotland, the UK, and overseas, our team remain reachable throughout.
Controls and Integration
Where the specification includes controls, we work through the requirements alongside the unit selection rather than treating them as a separate procurement.
Control systems, sensors, valves, actuators, and electrical panels all fall within our scope of supply.
We coordinate with the controls contractor or building services engineer to make sure the overall specification is properly integrated from the outset.
