Frequently Asked Questions

What is a VFD in HVAC?

A Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is an electronic controller that adjusts the speed of HVAC motors — such as fans, pumps, and compressors — to match actual demand rather than running at full speed continuously. By modulating motor speed, VFDs can reduce energy consumption by 30–58%, extend equipment lifespan, and significantly lower utility bills for Brooklyn commercial and residential properties.
