• If defect, verify by running develop branch and reproducing defect, then running PR and reproducing fix
• If feature, test running new feature, try creative ways to break it
• CI status: all green or justified
• Check that performance is not impacted (CI Linux results include performance check)
• Run Unit Test(s) locally

@rraustad (@mjwitte) this touches DX Coils and VRF pretty heavily. If you have a moment, it might be good for you to make a brief review of the PR.

[rraustad]

I can't see the changes to DXCoil but did review VRF. This looks OK to me.

Thanks @rraustad and @mjwitte for the reviews. Let Edwin or I know when you're ready to deal with getting this into the branches.
