VRV & VRF Air Conditioning Systems Perth
Many zones, each controlled on its own, all running from one outdoor system. We design, supply, install, service and repair VRV and VRF systems for offices, shops, multi-tenancy buildings and apartments across Perth.

How it works
One system. Every zone its own.
Variable refrigerant flow (VRF) links many indoor units to a single outdoor system through one refrigerant network. VRV is Daikin’s name for the same technology, which is why the two terms get swapped around so often.
One outdoor system, many zones
A single outdoor unit, or several modules linked together, serves many indoor units across a floor or a whole building.
Refrigerant flow that follows demand
Inverter compressors vary the flow of refrigerant to match what each zone actually needs, rather than running flat-out.
Independent control
Each room, floor or tenancy has its own settings, and one central control covers the entire system.
Heat pump or heat recovery
Two ways to run a VRF system
Heat pump
All zones heat or all zones cool at any one time. That makes it a cost-effective choice where the spaces need much the same thing through the day.
Heat recovery
Some zones can heat while others cool, and heat taken from the rooms being cooled is reused in the rooms that need it. A good match where the sunny side and the shady side behave differently.
Where it fits
For buildings divided into many spaces
Offices
Floors, meeting rooms and fit-outs that fill and empty at different times of day.
Retail & hospitality
Shopfronts, cafés and venues that have to stay comfortable for customers.
Apartments & multi-residential
Each residence sets its own temperature, all from shared plant.
Schools & community buildings
Classrooms and halls with changing use across the week.
Multi-tenancy buildings
Separate control for each tenancy on one system.
Medical & consulting suites
Dependable, zoned comfort for rooms in constant use.
Why VRF
What VRF does for a business
- Zoned comfort
Each area is conditioned to its own set point.
- Efficient at part load
Output rises and falls with the load, which suits buildings that are rarely full.
- Compact pipework
Refrigerant pipes take far less space than large supply ductwork.
- Scalable
Outdoor modules can be combined to suit larger buildings.
- Choice of indoor units
Cassette, ducted and ceiling-suspended units, picked for each space.

What to know about VRV and VRF systems
For building owners, developers and facilities managers weighing up variable refrigerant flow.
What is the difference between VRV and VRF?
In practice, none. VRF, short for variable refrigerant flow, is the general term for a system where one outdoor unit runs many indoor units over a shared refrigerant network. Daikin’s version of the same technology carries its VRV trademark, so the two names are used interchangeably.
Heat pump or heat recovery: which do I need?
With heat pump VRF, every zone is heating or every zone is cooling at any one time, so it suits buildings where the spaces have similar needs through the day. Heat recovery lets some zones heat while others cool, moving heat out of the cooling zones to where it’s needed. That suits a building with a sunny side and a shaded side, or server rooms next to offices. We’ll recommend one once we’ve looked at your building.
Which VRF brands do you work on?
All the major ranges: Daikin VRV, Mitsubishi Electric City Multi, Fujitsu Airstage, LG Multi V, Panasonic ECOi and Samsung DVM S. We take care of design, supply and installation on all of them, plus the servicing and repairs.
Can you service a VRF system that someone else installed?
Yes. We take on the servicing and repair of existing VRF systems across Perth, whoever installed them. We start with an inspection that shows you what condition the system is in and anything the previous maintenance missed.
How often should a VRF system be serviced?
For commercial use, every three to six months depending on running hours and conditions on site, plus a full inspection each year of the outdoor modules, refrigerant circuit and controls. We build the maintenance program around your building so faults get picked up early and tenants stay comfortable.
How do we start a VRF project?
Start by telling us about the building: what it’s used for, the spaces and zones, and whether it’s a new fit-out, a refurbishment or a replacement. From there we work out the loads, recommend a system type and indoor units, and set out the design, supply and installation in a written proposal.
