VRF Air Con
VRF systems improve comfort,save money and improve comfort
Inverters respond to the changes in the cooling or heating requirements within the space that is being air conditioned by controlling a variable speed compressor, or multiple compressors of varying capacity. A sophisticated control system will then switch between the cooling and heating modes. More advanced inverter systems allow indoor units to heat or cool independently of others in different zones in the building, providing energy savings when heating and cooling are required at the same time.
Calculate the size your system needs to be
Our calculator will help you discover the size of the VRF system you may require. However, like even the simplest of air conditioning installations (and VRF is a deal more sophisticated), correct HVAC design and specification by a qualified engineer is a must.
Hybrid VRF
Why VRF Hybrid is really very clever:
- Hybrid Branch Controller (HBC) This is the clever box that controls the system. It connects to an external City Multi unit using standard refrigerant pipes and then on to indoor fan coils but now using water, all in its unique two-pipe system. This can provide cooling and heating to sixteen different ducted, cassette or floor-standing units.
- How effective is it? Up to fifty individual areas or rooms can be heated and cooled simultaneous using two main HBC’s and two sub units, these connected to one City Multi outdoor unit. This creates a powerful system with centralised control and individual operation for simultaneous cooling or heating. All with the flexibility of VRF design, phased installation and no need for refrigerants in occupied rooms. It also reduces the total volume of refrigerant in the system.

This is such a new technology that our engineers are currently undertaking specialist training to ensure that we become the leaders in this HVAC revolution. As regulations and specifications regularly change please note that you should not rely upon this website as a definitive intepretation of legislation or performance. More details can also be found on the Mitsibushi Electric website. Also, you can watch an informative video all about VRF Hybrid here.
The benefits of Inverter technology
- Improved comfort Fast start-up times and the continual adjustment of cooling and heating outputs ensure that the required room temperature is reached quickly and constantly maintained.They are quiet and there are no temperature fluctuations.
- Energy efficiency Inverter match the power used to actual requirements – no more, no less – in this way energy consumptions can be up to 5o% less than a traditional system.
Thought about ECA’s?
Enhanced Capital Allowances (ECA) scheme rewards investment in energy saving systems on the Energy Technology List (ETL) with accelerated tax relief. Businesses may be able to claim 100% first year capital allowances and write off costs against taxable profits in the year of purchase.
