What Is a VRF System?
Variable refrigerant flow systems have been around for nearly 40 years. Relying on a single outdoor condensing unit, VRF systems distribute a reliable stream of cool air throughout a series of indoor units. These systems can use either two or three pipes to perform the task.
Unlike traditional HVAC systems, VRF systems don’t have one large, loud central unit. Rather, they consist of multiple, smaller air handlers that can be controlled individually. This gives businesses considerable flexibility and ensures that if one air handler goes down, the others can “pick up the slack” and keep the air flowing without noticeable disruption.
Using innovative heat recovery systems, VRF HVAC units can keep a commercial building cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Each room or zone can be controlled individually, with cooler temperatures for areas like data centers or warehouses, and warmer temperatures for offices. VRF systems can even offer simultaneous heating and cooling in different zones.
Charter Oak Energy Solutions is excited to offer Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) services to businesses and homeowners in Hartford and Tolland Counties. VRF systems, a cutting-edge solution in the HVAC industry, have been revolutionizing climate control for nearly four decades. These systems utilize a single outdoor condensing unit to distribute cool or warm air through a network of indoor units, which can be connected via two or three pipes. This advanced method ensures efficient and flexible temperature management across various indoor spaces.
One of the standout features of VRF systems is their modular design, which replaces the need for a single, large, and often noisy central unit. Instead, VRF systems incorporate multiple smaller air handlers, each of which can be independently controlled. This design not only provides enhanced flexibility for temperature adjustments in different zones but also ensures reliability; if one air handler encounters an issue, the others can continue to operate seamlessly, preventing any significant disruption in air flow.
Moreover, VRF systems are renowned for their innovative heat recovery capabilities. This allows them to provide tailored heating and cooling solutions, accommodating the unique needs of diverse environments within the same building. For instance, they can maintain cooler temperatures in data centers and warehouses while ensuring that office spaces remain comfortably warm. Impressively, VRF systems can even offer simultaneous heating and cooling in different zones, making them an incredibly versatile and efficient choice for commercial buildings. With Charter Oak Energy Solutions expertise, businesses in Hartford and Tolland Counties can now enjoy the unparalleled comfort and efficiency that VRF systems bring.

Best customer service ever !!!Kirstii Compton2024-05-16Really great service! Charter Oak went out of their way to make sure I was happy. When I had an issue with my boiler, they showed up fast. They diagnosed and fixed it immediately.Jamie Dowd2023-10-02Everyone at Charter Oak Mechanical is fantastic! We can call and know that they'll be there for us anytime. Julie, the Kevin's, Steven - everyone is great. Pricing is truly fair - we don't even go out for other quotes. You will forever have our business. We love that you are local, in our community and a small business - not some global organization where we would get lost in the shuffle. Thank you for all that you do to keep us warm in the winter and cool in the summer.Patrick Colwell2023-08-17These guys are real good. Every year we have them come and check the AC system and they help us to keep it in tip top shape.Reshma Banavali2023-08-11Charter Oak Mechanical LLC excelled at customer service yet again. After business hours, I had an issue with the furnace that led to water leakage. The lady who was on support for emergency repairs was courteous, made note of all the details and promptly called in the technician Eric S, for assistance. Eric S was punctual, professional, courteous, thorough in his assessment and documentation of the issue and helped remedy the root cause. There was water pooled around the area and he cleaned that up as well. I would recommend Eric S and Charter Oak Mechanical for your heating, cooling and ventilation services.Simon G2023-04-01I was very impressed by Charter Oak Mechanical. We just moved into our house in Glastonbury and wanted to install a ducted A/C system before the summer. We solicited a few quotes, and Steve was the first to submit an estimate which was very reasonable given the scope of the work. He committed to begin work within only a few weeks. Robbie and his team were prompt and professional during the installation process. They were always willing to answer questions and were very accommodating of our needs. The work was completed earlier than anticipated, and it was clearly of high quality. I was also impressed with the subcontractors used, especially Angelo who did a fantastic job boxing in the closet ducts. I highly recommend Charter Oak for A/C installation.
