Commercial VRF/VRV System Installation in Burbank

What Is VRF/VRV—and Why It Fits Burbank Facilities

Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF), also called Variable Refrigerant Volume (VRV), is a multi‑zone HVAC technology that modulates refrigerant flow to match each space’s real‑time load. The result: exceptional energy efficiency, quiet operation, and room‑by‑room control. For Burbank’s diverse commercial stock—sound stages, production offices, creative campuses, retail, and medical—VRF/VRV offers flexible layouts, compact piping, and minimal disruption during retrofits.

Choose heat pump VRF for simultaneous cooling or heating within a group of zones, or heat recovery VRF for true simultaneous heating and cooling across many zones—perfect for buildings with mixed exposures, server rooms, editing bays, and densely occupied spaces.

Our Commercial VRF/VRV Installation Process

• Discovery & Site Walk: Assess usage patterns, noise criteria, electrical capacity, roof/yard space, architectural constraints, and future expansion.
• Engineering & Modeling: Load calculations, equipment sizing, refrigerant network routing, riser diagrams, control strategy, and Title 24 compliance documentation.
• Equipment Strategy: Selection from leading manufacturers we are factory‑trained on—Fujitsu, Mitsubishi Electric, Midea, Gree, and Haier. We can source equipment and components through AC PRO when it fits your specification and schedule.
• Permitting & Approvals: Local code compliance, ASHRAE 15 refrigerant safety considerations, plan sets, and utility coordination.
• Installation: Phased work to minimize downtime, crane picks, refrigerant piping, branch boxes, indoor units (ducted or ductless), condensate, and controls/cabling.
• Controls & BMS Integration: Centralized controllers, schedules, demand limits, remote access, and integration with building management systems.
• Commissioning: Pressure tests, vacuum, charge verification, sensor calibration, functional testing, and performance documentation.
• Training & Turnover: Owner training, O&M manuals, warranty registration, and clear maintenance plans.
