How Daikin VRV Helps Contractors Stand Out in a Crowded Market

In this episode of Accelerated HVAC Success, host Ben Middleton sits down with Chris Bellshaw, VP of Commercial Market and Business Development at Daikin Comfort Technologies, to break down what truly sets Daikin’s VRV technology apart. Chris clarifies the difference between VRF and Daikin’s patented VRV, and explains how Daikin is taking VRV to market in North America. The conversation explores where contractors can go to learn more—from product resources to hands-on training like VRV installation and commissioning—and why VRV is becoming a powerful way for contractors to differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive market.

Chris also dives into the technical advantages of VRV, including its ability to provide zoning, simultaneous heating and cooling, integrated fresh air, and significant energy savings. He highlights Daikin’s core patents and unique control strategy, such as Variable Refrigerant Temperature, and how these innovations deliver comfort and efficiency beyond traditional systems. The episode wraps with a look at how VRV is expanding into the residential space and where homeowners and residential-focused professionals can find more information on this evolving technology.
