Doing All Type Ducting Work for VRF, Dehumidifier, Central AC
VRF Ducting Work
Classic Industrial service BD is a success story from its dedication to providing customers with proven professional services that simplify procedures, ensure transparency and provide cost-effective solutions. As such, we focus on delivering tailor- Zade designs and installations, developed with the quality-centric workmanship. The main purpose of CIS BD’s design and implementation of a Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system is to help maintain good indoor air quality through adequate ventilation with filtration and provide thermal comfort.
HVAC systems are among the largest energy consumers in any premise. The choice and design of the HVAC system make the difference in any living and working environment. This is why we strive to design quality systems that are cost-competitive while successfully providing an appropriate quality air, lower energy costs, and easier maintenance. Our product range covers Variable Refrigerant Flow System, Unitary & Packaged rooftop type AC, all kinds of Air Cooled & Water Cooled Chillers, AHU and FCU. Also Direct Fired & Steam Absorption Chillers, the most efficient Magnetic Bearing Oil Free Chillers and a flexible & cost effective Fabric Ducting System.
VRF technology works by adjusting the refrigerant volume within a system to precisely meet the requirements of a building. It utilizes the minimum energy necessary to maintain the temperatures that have been set, switching off when no occupants are detected in a room. This versatility helps reduce energy costs.
If the temperature of your surroundings is comfortable right now – whether in an office, a mall, a hospital, or any other indoor setting – it is likely due to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems (known as HVAC). Millions of people rely on these climate controllers on a daily basis to remain comfortable indoors.
These systems can regulate temperature, humidity, and air quality – from keeping interiors warm during cold weather to keeping us cool when the heat rises outside. HVAC systems are central to our comfort and wellbeing and can help circulate fresh air and remove harmful pollutants.
In the world of HVAC technologies, VRV systems marked a major breakthrough. In this article, we will summarize everything you need to know about these ground-breaking systems, but before we get to that, let’s address an area that often causes confusion. It’s around the naming conventions used for this technology. Confusingly, VRV (Variable Refrigerant Volume) and VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) are exactly the same thing.
Dehumidifier Ducting
Portable room dehumidifiers are great for solving a single-room, excess humidity problem, but they aren’t robust enough to remove large amounts of moisture in tough environments like basements, crawl spaces, and other areas that are difficult to reach.
Installing a ducted whole-house standalone dehumidifier through a wall can be an effective way to reach these spaces.

Why Duct a Standalone Dehumidifier
The damaging effects of high humidity can creep up on you, especially in basements and crawl spaces. Combined with high heat, it creates the perfect environment for bacteria growth, mold and mildew growth, dust mite infestation, and continual damp conditions that can lead to structural damage.
There are several benefits in ducting a standalone dehumidifier in your home or commercial space, including:
- Hard-to-Reach Areas: A large-capacity standalone dehumidifier bypasses an HVAC system in your home or commercial space for extended coverage in remote and hard-to-reach spaces.
- Dry Air in Multiple Rooms: The extra dehumidifier ducts to multiple rooms that need dry air.
- Avoid Extra Expenses: When moisture issues are mainly on the floor (like the basement), adding a ducted dehumidifier helps you avoid the expenses and hassle of installing a whole-house dehumidifier into your HVAC system.
- Continuous Air Circulation: By running ducting to a crawl space or other area, there is continuous air circulation for less risk of constant humidity.
- Limited Crawl Space: Remove moisture from a tight crawl space that can’t accommodate a dehumidifier.
Standalone Dehumidifier Ducting Configurations
You can duct a standalone dehumidifier by attaching return ducts, supply ducts, or both.
You can also duct both to circulate dry air in the other room and achieve negative pressure. This is a popular setup when people only want to dehumidify the finished part of their basement but don’t want the dehumidifier in the same room.

How to Duct a Dehumidifier Through a Wall
The owner’s manual for your dehumidifier outlines specific ducting options and installation instructions; however, the following is a general procedure that is good to keep in mind:
- Outline your wall based on the duct or vent you use to supply fresh air.
- Attach the duct collars to your dehumidifier. (You will need duct attachments designed for your specific model.)
- Add the collar or vent to the wall you connect the dehumidifier to.
- Connect the ductwork from the dehumidifier collars to the wall collars or vent.
Popular Dehumidifiers for Through-Wall Ducting
Several reliable dehumidifier brands provide efficient and reliable operation as standalone units or ducted with an HVAC system.
Santa Fe Dehumidifiers
These models can be ducted through a wall to control humidity in a singular location, such as a finished basement room. The Advance90 and the Impact 155 have two supply ducts for ducting to multiple locations.
Central Ducted Split Systems
Central Ducted Split Systems offer the power and comfort of a traditional central HVAC system, combined with a mini-split’s efficiency, technology, and flexibility. These systems provide an alternative to conventional AC systems but still use ductwork to circulate warm and cool air throughout a space.
Split AC systems are typically designed for larger spaces with multiple zones and consist of an outdoor compressor unit and an indoor air handler that can connect to existing or new ductwork.
These inverter central air conditioners often offer auxiliary heating functions in addition to the traditional mini-split heat pump option.
