Collection: Hitachi VRF Solutions - Outdoor Units

VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) are advanced and energy-efficient HVAC systems that are available in various configurations to suit every need and application. Allowing for very precise temperature control in different zones, they work by varying the flow of refrigerant, ensuring energy-efficient heating and cooling across commercial and residential buildings.

R410A has been widely used in VRF systems for many years now, while R32 is a newer, lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant. Many manufacturers, including Hitachi, are transitioning to R32 for compliance with F-Gas regulations and improved energy efficiency.

Single-phase VRF units are typically suited to smaller commercial premises or residential projects, while 3 phase VRF systems are designed for larger buildings with higher power demands. The right choice depends on your site’s electrical supply and load requirements. Here at The MEP Shop, we can help you choose the right system for your project.

VRF technology offers zoned climate control, reduced energy costs, quiet operation, and compact installation. Compared to split systems or central chillers, VRF outdoor units provide greater flexibility and efficiency, particularly for modern low-carbon building projects.

Modern VRF units use lower GWP refrigerants, high efficiency compressors, and smart controls that reduce wasted energy. This makes them ideal for projects seeking BREEAM, LEED, or Part L compliance, and helps meet sustainability and decarbonisation targets. The MEP Shop is passionate about helping the UK reach its net-zero targets, as a result, we're here for you every step of the way to help you achieve your green building goals.
