Frequently Asked Questions
VRF systems work by using a single outdoor unit connected to multiple indoor units. The system can vary the flow of refrigerant to each indoor unit based on zone cooling or heating needs.
VRF technology offers several advantages in terms of energy efficiency, zoning capabilities, installation flexibility, and comfort.
Ductless air conditioning, also known as a mini-split system, is an HVAC solution that does not require ductwork to distribute air.
Ductless AC systems work by using an outdoor compressor unit connected to one or more indoor air handlers. Each indoor unit can be controlled independently, allowing for customized temperature settings in each zone.
Ductless heating refers to heating systems that do not rely on ductwork to distribute warm air. These systems often use the same technology as ductless air conditioning, typically in the form of mini-split heat pumps.
Ductless air conditioning, also known as a mini-split system, is an HVAC solution that does not require ductwork to distribute air.
Ductless heat pumps work by transferring heat between the indoor and outdoor units through refrigerant lines. This allows them to efficiently provide both heating and cooling to individual rooms without ductwork.
