checked against the selected manufacturer&#8217;s specifications.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mistake 4: Ignoring Outdoor Unit Location<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Airflow, service access and structural requirements matter.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mistake 5: Treating VRF as Ventilation<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fresh-air requirements must be separately evaluated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mistake 6: Ignoring Maintenance<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Indoor and outdoor units need practical access for servicing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mistake 7: No Commissioning Plan<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A VRF system should be properly tested and commissioned after installation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mistake 8: Designing Without Future Requirements<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Potential expansion should be considered during the initial design.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
