Sun Prairie VRF System Installation
Though far more complex and significantly more capable, VRF HVAC systems are similar to ductless mini-split systems. They offer zoned and duct-free heating and cooling, along with limited, built-in humidity control. However, ductless mini-split systems can only support one to eight service areas. With VRF system installation, you can create up to 60 heating and cooling zones.
When installing indoor fan coil units, your VRF HVAC contractor will also install separate thermostats to control each. Residents can set and adjust each thermostat independently of the others for customized comfort. The zoning supplied by VRF HVAC systems eliminates the need to heat and cool empty rooms or floors.
VRF HVAC system installation in Sun Prairie can provide many important benefits.
- Minimally invasive installation
- Whisper-quiet performance
- Healthy indoor air quality (IAQ)
- Superior scalability
- Reduced energy waste
If you own a commercial or residential property that lacks the ducting to support central HVAC, you can install a VRF system without ductwork retrofitting. In some environments, VRF HVAC systems are up to 45% more efficient than ducted heating and cooling.
Given that conditioned air doesn’t move through long and complex networks of air ducts, VRF HVAC systems are much quieter than their alternatives. Discharged directly from fan coil units, conditioned air doesn’t pick up dirt, pollen, or other in-duct allergens and contaminants. With this duct-free design, there’s also no duct-related energy loss.
For nursing homes, schools, hospitals, and other commercial facilities, VRF system installation provides a level of scalability that other climate control systems do not. If you want to add or subtract service areas in the future, you can do so easily.
VRF HVAC system installation also works well for historic properties. If you own a historic home or a historic commercial building, a VRF system will provide fixed, efficient climate control with minimal building modifications. Your VRF HVAC contractor will only drill a small hole in the exterior wall of each service area. These holes accommodate refrigerant lines and wiring. In most cases, they measure just three inches in diameter or less.
