Daikin VRV Life
Daikin is the World’s No. 1 air conditioning company. Thanks to our constant innovation in comfort, energy efficiency, control and reliability, we define the benchmarks for quality within the industry.
At the core of the VRV LIFE systems is built-in intelligence that gives you independent zoning control with maximum flexibility and energy savings. With the ability to connect up to nine indoor units to one outdoor unit, the space-saving VRV LIFE system is ideal for most residential projects.
Your space, brought to LIFE
Daikin VRV LIFE systems are the industry’s first VRV heat pump with gas furnace connectivity for residential applications. The new VRV LIFE systems offer solutions to some of the traditional HVAC challenges for single family applications.
Compact and quiet operation
Compact and quiet operation inside and out. Outdoor unit runs 10 dBA less than traditional system (when compared to Daikin DZ14SA), and can use up to 75% less outdoor space.
Indoor Air Quality
Indoor Air Quality modules such as air cleaning systems, humidity control, air purification, and ventilation can be added incrementally into your home to make it the perfect indoor climate based on your family’s needs, and usage of your home.
Since 1982, VRV* systems have become established as the standard for energy saving, flexibility and comfort. In short, VRV air conditioning systems reduce energy consumption compared to traditional central ducted systems. And when it comes to your energy bill, less energy consumed means less money spent. Now, VRV systems have been re-imagined and re-engineered to tackle the many challenges of the traditional systems with the goal of enriching the life of homeowners across North America. The many intelligent features included to benefit your comfort represent VRV LIFE.
*The name VRV derives from this technology that we call “variable refrigerant volume”

Zoning
Zoning is an important factor that contributes to energy savings and comfort – standard central ducted systems do not have the ability to precisely adapt to your lifestyle and how you use your home. In most cases, larger homes can be separated in 2 zones, each zone being served by a separate system.
Daikin VRV LIFE systems provide effective zoning solutions by offering the flexibility to connect up to 9 zones to a single system. Precision engineered refrigerant control allows system operation to meet the needs of individual zones.

Traditional Ducted System
- Thermostat wars, one temperature doesn’t fit all rooms
- Energy wasted in areas not in use or through large duct systems
- Hot and cold rooms due to poor air distribution
VRV LIFE™ System
- Personalized comfort, no more argument over the temperature
- Energy savings: turn off zones not in use
- Solve hot and cold spots by adding more indoor units
Applications
Mix-match ducted and ductless units by connecting up to nine zones to one outdoor unit
Space-saving with ability to connect 2 gas furnaces to one outdoor unit
Custom, selectable and programmable temperature to switch from heat pump to gas heat
Quiet operation with sound levels under 58 dBA
Operational Efficiencies
VRV LIFE systems are engineered with Daikin inverter and variable refrigerant temperature (VRT) technologies. These empower the compressor to operate at its optimal efficiencies during part load operations and thereby reducing power consumption* and providing high operational efficiencies.
Sound
Daikin VRV systems are globally renowned for their quietness. With operating sound pressure levels as low as 57 dbA, VRV LIFE is an optimal solution for installation close to lot lines and sound sensitive applications.
Space
With a compact, light weight and space saving design of only 37”W x 12-5/8”D, VRV LIFE systems provide up to 75%2reduction in installation space compared to similar capacity top discharge unitary condensing units.
Features
