 Why VRF
Energy Efficiency - INVERTER-driven compressor technology, can simultaneously heat and cool, virtually
eliminating duct loss.

Zoned Comfort - Each individual zone can have personalized comfort as the system delivers the right
amount of refrigerant to precisely meet the load in a space.
Quiet Operation –Indoor and outdoor units are so quiet that they can be placed just about anywhere, giving
you more flexibility on how to use indoor and outdoor space. Outdoor units can even be placed directly
under a window , quiet indoor units are perfect in environments that require minimal disruption like schools,
places or worship, libraries and more.
System Simplicity - Samsung 2/3- Pipe System simpler to install and service. Routine maintenance consists

of changing filters and cleaning coils.

Aesthetics - HVAC systems don't have to get in the way of design. Small outdoor units provide for flexibility

The knock-out holes for piping, power, and
communication cables are located in a variety of
directions, allowing for more convenient installation of
DVMS since the piping and cable direction can be freely
selected from the front, left, and rightside.
