Inverter Efficiency & Running Costs
Daikin VRV is one of the most efficient ways to condition a larger building. The inverter compressors ramp output up and down to match the exact load across every connected zone, holding steady temperatures, running quietly and cutting running costs against older constant-speed plant. The VRV 5 heat recovery range runs on R32 and reuses waste heat, so it is especially strong at part load where buildings spend most of their time.
Running a single outdoor plant for many zones is space-efficient, and running fully electric lets a building pair VRV with rooftop solar to lower running costs further.
Where Daikin VRV Makes Sense
VRV suits apartments, townhouses, offices, retail, hospitality, medical suites and other commercial fit-outs, anywhere you need many independently controlled zones from a compact plant footprint. Heat recovery models are ideal for buildings with mixed loads that heat and cool at the same time.
For smaller homes a reverse cycle multi split system is often the better value. We help you weigh up VRV against multi split and ducted at the quote, and are happy to work with your builder, architect or engineer on the design.
Installation, Warranty & VEU Rebates in Victoria
A VRF system only performs as well as its design and install. Our licensed, ARCtick-certified technicians size the outdoor plant to the load, select and place each indoor unit, design and run the refrigerant pipework and controls, commission every zone and test the system in both heating and cooling before handover. Daikin VRV systems are backed by the manufacturer's warranty when installed correctly, and we stand behind every job with our own workmanship guarantee.
Eligible high-efficiency systems can also attract a discount under the Victorian Government's Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program, which includes commercial as well as residential activities. Eligibility is set per model and activity and the work has to be done by an accredited provider, which we are.
How the VEU Discount Works
An approved high-efficiency system generates energy-saving certificates based on the emissions it avoids over its lifetime. As an accredited installer, we convert those certificates into a discount that comes straight off your install price on the day, rather than something you claim back later.
Eligibility and the certificate value shift with the program settings and the activity, and commercial projects are assessed differently to homes, so we confirm your current eligibility and figure as part of the quote rather than quoting a number blind.
