Do you offer energy-efficient or low-maintenance HVAC solutions?

Yes — nearly all our manufacturers focus on high-efficiency, low-maintenance designs, from modular heat pumps and corrosion-proof towers to electric boilers and variable-speed pumps.

How can I order HVAC equipment from VHF Sales?

You can contact our team directly through our website’s Request a Quote form or by phone/email. We’ll help you determine the right equipment and provide a detailed quote.

Lead times vary by manufacturer and configuration. We help customers identify long-lead items early in the project timeline to keep schedules on track.

Yes. If there’s an issue with an order, we’ll help you coordinate with the manufacturer for warranty coverage or returns (subject to restocking fees and policy terms).

With proper maintenance, most commercial HVAC equipment lasts 15–25 years. Choosing corrosion-resistant and energy-efficient models can extend service life even further.

What’s the difference between hydronic and forced-air systems?

Hydronic systems use water to distribute heating or cooling, while forced-air systems use ducted airflow. Hydronic systems often deliver better comfort, quiet operation, and energy savings.

What is a piping package or hose kit?

A piping package simplifies hydronic coil hookups — combining valves, hoses, and fittings into one ready-to-install assembly. Hays Fluid Controls is a leader in this category.

How can I maintain my HVAC equipment for long-term reliability?

Regular maintenance, including coil cleaning, filter changes, and vibration checks, is key. VHF can connect you with manufacturer recommendations or service partners.
