VRV and VRF systems are both advanced HVAC technologies that efficiently heat and cool spaces, but they differ in key ways, such as their origins and manufacturer-specific naming. A VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) system is an advanced heating, ventilation, and air conditioning technology developed by Daikin. It’s a ductless system that uses a single outdoor unit connected to multiple indoor units, allowing individual climate control in different zones or rooms. VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) is a similar HVAC technology to VRV, but the term is often associated with other manufacturers like Mitsubishi Electric and Toshiba. Functionally, VRF systems are almost identical to VRV systems, providing zonal climate control and energy efficiency.
