VRF / VRV Systems
Advanced Heating & Cooling Technology for Every Space
VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) and VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) systems provide customized heating and cooling for each room, with or without ductwork. These systems are perfect for both new construction and retrofit projects in Monterey County and surrounding areas.
At SEB Heating & Cooling, our factory-trained ductless technicians specialize in the installation, service, and maintenance of these advanced climate systems.
VRV vs. VRF — What’s the Difference?
VRV and VRF refer to the same technology:
- Daikin originally coined the term VRV
- Other brands use the name VRF due to trademark rights
- Both systems operate identically, delivering energy-efficient, flexible comfort solutions.
Why Choose VRF / VRV Systems?
Energy Efficiency
A primary advantage of VRV/VRF systems is their exceptional efficiency. By regulating refrigerant flow through inverter-driven compressors, these systems consume only the energy required. Unlike traditional HVAC systems that are either fully on or off, VRF systems adjust automatically, resulting in lower energy bills.
Versatility
VRV/VRF systems offer flexible installation options, whether ducted or ductless. This makes them adaptable for:
- Commercial buildings
- Custom homes
- Remodels and expansions
- Facilities with diverse comfort needs
Comfort & Humidity Control
These systems provide targeted zone control, allowing each area to maintain its own temperature.
They also feature enhanced dehumidification — especially beneficial in Monterey County’s coastal climate.
Use Cases for VRF / VRV Technology
- Large office buildings
- Retail spaces
- Schools and universities
- Hotels and hospitality venues
- Custom homes prioritizing energy efficiency
- Facilities with equipment requiring precise climate control
Most central air systems average 14–16 SEER efficiency ratings, while VRF/VRV systems typically range from 18–29.3 SEER, delivering superior performance.
