Specification-ready platform gives engineers, spec reps and mechanical contractors a more supported path to commercial VRF system design. 

LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 15, 2026 — GE Appliances, a Haier company, today announced the launch of the GE R-32 Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) platform from GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions® expanding its commercial HVAC portfolio with a solution designed to help consulting engineers, specification representatives and mechanical contractors simplify system design, support project execution and specify commercial VRF systems with greater confidence. 

Commercial VRF projects are complex by nature. Engineers and spec reps must balance performance, compliance, building design, installation requirements, serviceability and long-term owner expectations, often across projects with multiple decision makers and evolving specifications. The GE R-32 VRF platform is built to support that process with trusted VRF technology, flexible application capabilities and centralized technical resources backed by GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions.  

“This launch is an important step in how we are building GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions into a more comprehensive commercial HVAC business,” said Khalid Qirem, Vice President of GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions. “As we expand our portfolio, we are focused on giving customers access to solutions that are easier to specify, easier to support and backed by the resources and expertise they expect from GE Appliances.”  

The platform is supported by a dedicated VRF Resource Portal that centralizes key tools and technical documentation in one location. The portal includes submittals, product catalogs, technical diagrams, cut sheets, quick-spec guides, BIM resources and related materials designed to help representatives respond faster to design teams and support engineering decisions throughout the bidding process. 

The GE R-32 VRF platform includes GE MRV-7 and GE MRV-7S systems for a range of commercial applications. The platform offers heat pump and heat recovery configurations, flexible capacity options, extended piping capabilities, third-party air handling unit integration, and wireless communication. It is designed to support challenging building layouts, retrofit applications, occupant comfort needs, and projects where architectural flexibility is important. 

The GE MRV-7 system offers 6- to 20-ton single-chassis modules, with combinations of up to 36 tons. The GE MRV-7S system supports 3- to 5-ton heat recovery applications, including single-phase configurations for lighter commercial and flexible project requirements. 

Across the platform, available features include lower-GWP R-32 refrigerant technology, enhanced corrosion protection, precise temperature control, advanced variable refrigerant adjustment, quiet operation, wide operating ranges and compatibility with multiple indoor unit options, including multi-position air handlers, cassettes, ducted units, highwalls, heat recovery, and refrigerant isolation boxes.  

The launch advances GE Appliances Air & Water Solutions’ broader commercial HVAC strategy as the business continues expanding its portfolio and support model for commercial customers across North America.
