Carrier VRF Systems

What is VRF?

Variable refrigerant flow, commonly known as VRF, is traditionally used in larger applications that have varying heating and cooling demands that need to be satisfied simultaneously, such as office buildings and multi-family residences.

The beauty of a Carrier VRF system is the ability to heat and cool up to 64 separate indoor units—allowing the user to save space while meeting the demands of multiple users. A well-designed VRF system will modulate up or down depending upon the needs of the user and space. This means the user can have heating or cooling when they need it, where they need it.

How does a VRF system work?

The sophisticated technology behind a VRF system gives it the ability to use only the necessary amount of refrigerant needed to heat or cool a space. Energy that is not used in one space is returned and diverted to another space, eliminating what would have been wasted energy. If the user wants to reconfigure an indoor space, a Carrier VRF system can accommodate the changing needs of their building. The end result of VRF technology is an energy-saving system that makes no sacrifices in comfort.

How reliable is a Carrier VRF system?

The use of each compressor in a VRF system is calculated and rotated, balancing the hours of operation and evening the load on the entire system. Combined with multiple inverters, the risk of compressor burnout due to on and off power surges is greatly reduced.

Because of its reliability, longevity, and ease of use, a Carrier VRF system can be designed by our experts to meet the most demanding needs and yet remain highly cost effective. Call us today to schedule a free onsite consultation.
