What Is a VRF System?
Variable refrigerant flow systems have been around for nearly 40 years. Relying on a single outdoor condensing unit, VRF systems distribute a reliable stream of cool air throughout a series of indoor units. These systems can use either two or three pipes to perform the task.
Unlike traditional HVAC systems, VRF systems don’t have one large, loud central unit. Rather, they consist of multiple, smaller air handlers that can be controlled individually. This gives businesses considerable flexibility and ensures that if one air handler goes down, the others can “pick up the slack” and keep the air flowing without noticeable disruption.
Using innovative heat recovery systems, VRF HVAC units can keep a commercial building cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Each room or zone can be controlled individually, with cooler temperatures for areas like data centers or warehouses, and warmer temperatures for offices. VRF systems can even offer simultaneous heating and cooling in different zones.
When your variable refrigerant systems go down, you don’t want to wait to schedule repairs in the middle of a stifling New York summer or frigid New York winter. Our technicians specialize in variable refrigerant flow systems and will quickly diagnose the problem and perform the necessary repairs. We make it possible for building owners to maintain their VRF HVAC systems in an operational condition, so tenants stay comfortable.
VRF systems are reliable, but they’re not infallible. As with all HVAC systems, they may require repairs from time to time. Common signs that your VRF HVAC systems need service include:
- Blowers that run constantly
- Filters that are clogged and restricting airflow
- Diminished flow of either hot or cold air
- Smoke emanating from the unit
- Strange noises or smells
