What does VRF-02 mean?

One indoor unit runs several times longer than its siblings.

Why does it matter?

Usually an undersized unit, a bad thermostat location, or a space used very differently from the design — the outdoor unit runs for one zone.

What should you do?

Check the heavy zone's setpoint, sensor placement and load; consider rebalancing or resizing.

This is a diagnostic rule: Energy Agent surfaces and ranks it as a reliability problem and claims no dollar savings for it, by design.
