Heat Recovery & Heat Pump Systems

Smart, Sustainable Comfort for Every Building

When it comes to commercial climate control in Vancouver’s diverse weather, few solutions match the performance and efficiency of Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems. At Ace Tech Plumbing and Heating LTD, we specialize in the installation, service, and maintenance of commercial VRF heat recovery and heat pump systems — delivering industry-leading performance and comfort for our clients across all types of buildings.

What is a VRF System?

A VRF system or Variable Refrigerant Flow system is made up of smart inverter compressors that are able to drive the refrigerant between the indoor units, make available temperature control for each zone, and use the least amount of energy. Traditional HVAC systems have fixed-speed operation, while VRF systems have dynamic output that is adjusted to real-time demands that lead to a great reduction of energy waste.​

Heat Pump vs. Heat Recovery VRF

Both heat pump and heat recovery VRF systems have high efficiency in heating and cooling, however, the choice is based on the availability of flexibility:

• Heat Pump VRF: heats or cools the entire space at the same time — it is the best choice for areas with unvarying comfort requirements.

• Heat Recovery VRF: Offers heating and cooling at the same time in different regions by taking the heat from the places needing cooling and giving it to the places requiring warmness. This system is very suitable for areas like offices, hotels, mixed-use facilities, and commercial buildings with different exposure and occupancy patterns.​

What Are the Benefits of Heat Recovery VRF?

VRF heat recovery systems are designed to be energy efficient and comfortable. They capture heat energy that is not useful and send it to the area where it is needed most. For example, Hitachi’s modern VRF systems can have efficiency ratings greater than 20 SEER, which means they can save 30-40% energy as compared to traditional systems.

Key benefits include:

• Simultaneous Heating and Cooling: Perfect for buildings with zone diversity.
• Lower Operating Costs: Recovering and reusing heat dramatically reduces energy consumption.
• Comfort and Flexibility: Consistent temperatures tailored to each area or room.
• Quiet, Reliable Operation: Advanced compressor technology minimizes noise and wear.
• Eco-Friendly Performance: Reduces carbon footprint by maximizing energy reuse.​
