Superb System Efficiencies• Variable Refrigerant Flow can provide energy savings
around 25 to 30% over other system types
• Using heat pump technology with COP’s greater than 2.0 at 17 deg yields tremendous heating savings
• Variable Refrigerant Flow is a proven energy saving technology as evidenced by thousands of installations

VRF Installed Cost• Proper analysis of VRF Installed Cost must
evaluate changes in all areas of construction (electrical, architectural, etc…)
• Air Cooled VRF should be comparable in first cost with WSHP
• Air Cooled VRF should be cheaper installed than four pipe systems
