Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) Systems — Installation & Maintenance

At Harbourgreene HVAC, we specialize in the design, installation, commissioning, and long-term maintenance of Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) HVAC systems for commercial, institutional, and multi-unit residential properties. VRF technology represents one of the most advanced solutions available today, delivering superior comfort control, exceptional energy efficiency, and flexible zoning for complex building environments.

Our experienced technicians and project managers guide your building from concept to completion, ensuring your VRF system is expertly built to perform reliably for years to come.

What is a VRF System?

A VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) system uses an outdoor heat-pump or heat-recovery unit connected to multiple indoor fan coil units throughout a building. By varying the flow of refrigerant delivered to each zone, the system provides precise independent temperature control for every occupied space.

Unlike traditional HVAC systems that rely heavily on ductwork, VRF systems distribute conditioned refrigerant directly to each indoor unit — creating a streamlined, efficient approach to heating and cooling.

VRF system benefits include:

  • Individual zone comfort control

  • High energy efficiency with reduced operating costs

  • Simultaneous heating and cooling in different areas (heat recovery systems)

  • Quiet operation

  • Compact equipment footprint

  • Reduced ductwork requirements

VRF systems are ideal for:

  • Office buildings

  • Hotels and hospitality properties

  • Multi-residential developments

  • Medical facilities

  • Educational institutions

  • Retail and mixed-use buildings

  • Commercial renovations where duct space is limited

VRF System Design & Installation

Harbourgreene HVAC manages every phase of your VRF project, coordinating with your design team and ensuring efficient system integration.

✅ Engineering Coordination

We collaborate directly with engineers, architects, and mechanical consultants to review:

  • Equipment sizing and zoning layouts

  • Heat-load calculations

  • Refrigerant piping design

  • Branch selector placement

  • Control integration planning

Our construction experience ensures systems are not only designed efficiently — but installed for long-term serviceability and peak performance.

✅ Professional Installation

Our licensed HVAC technicians complete all installations to manufacturer specifications and applicable CSA standards, including:

  • Outdoor condensing units and heat-recovery modules

  • Indoor fan coil units (cassette, ducted, wall-mounted, and concealed)

  • Refrigerant piping networks and branch selector systems

  • Electrical power distribution and control cabling

  • Controls integration with centralized building management systems (BAS)

Every installation includes strict quality control procedures:

  • Pressure testing of refrigerant piping

  • Deep-vacuum evacuation and moisture removal

  • Refrigerant charge verification

  • Start-up checks and performance testing

  • Documentation for warranty activation

Commissioning & System Optimization

Proper startup is essential to ensure VRF systems operate at peak efficiency. Harbourgreene delivers comprehensive commissioning services to verify full system readiness before project turnover:

  • Complete communication network testing

  • Refrigerant pressure and balance verification

  • Indoor unit airflow testing

  • Zonal temperature performance validation

  • Controls programming and calibration

  • Building operator training

This process ensures your VRF system functions exactly as designed — delivering efficiency, comfort, and dependability from day one.

VRF Preventive Maintenance Programs

VRF technology requires periodic inspection and servicing to sustain efficiency and prevent unexpected failures. Harbourgreene HVAC designs custom preventive maintenance programs based on your building’s size, operating schedule, and occupancy demands.

Our VRF maintenance services include:

  • Filter cleaning and replacement

  • Coil inspection and cleaning

  • Verification of refrigerant charge levels

  • Leak detection testing

  • Electronic expansion valve performance testing

  • Electrical connection inspections

  • Control network and communication diagnostics

  • Outdoor condenser maintenance

Routine service supports:

  • Optimized system efficiency

  • Extended equipment lifespan

  • Reduced risk of breakdowns

  • Preservation of manufacturer warranty compliance

  • Consistent occupant comfort

VRF Service & Repairs

Harbourgreene HVAC provides professional diagnostics and repairs for VRF systems from all major manufacturers, including Daikin, Mitsubishi, LG, Samsung, and Toshiba.

Our service capabilities include:

  • Troubleshooting of refrigerant circuits and controls

  • Communication network fault diagnosis

  • Sensor, board, and valve replacement

  • Compressor performance evaluations

  • Control programming and calibration

Our thorough troubleshooting process identifies root causes accurately — ensuring dependable repairs that restore system performance without unnecessary component replacements.

VRF Retrofits & Building Upgrades

VRF systems offer powerful advantages for building modernization projects. If your existing property relies on older HVAC equipment such as boilers, rooftop units, or conventional split systems, Harbourgreene HVAC can develop a VRF retrofit solution that:

  • Enhances comfort without major duct reconstruction

  • Reduces long-term energy consumption

  • Frees valuable building space

  • Qualifies for applicable energy rebates and incentives

We provide:

  • Retrofit feasibility assessments

  • Energy modeling and life-cycle cost analysis

  • Return-on-investment projections

  • Rebate documentation and application support
