04 · Efficiency

1 kWh of electricity, how much heat?

COP says how many kWh of heat a heat pump delivers for 1 kWh of electricity, at a given temperature. SEER2 measures cooling efficiency over a whole season, in BTU removed per watt-hour of electricity. Compare the 12,000 BTU/h units, then play with the season.

Each bar starts from 1 kWh of electricity. Each segment = 1 kWh of heat delivered (the COP).
UB32 12,000R-454B×2.25
CB25 12,000R-454B×2
CB22 12,000R-32×2
Electric baseboardresistance×1

COP per the Zephyr BRO_2606 brochures. Resistance heat turns all the electricity into heat (100%, US DOE), so a COP of 1.

Heat removed from the home over the summer (example)
3,000,000 BTU
UB32 12,000 30 SEER2100 kWh$11.14
CB25 12,000 23 SEER2130 kWh$14.48
CB22 12,000 20 SEER2150 kWh$16.71

Illustrative math: SEER2 is, by definition (DOE, Appendix M1), the heat removed over the season divided by the electricity used, in BTU per watt-hour. Cost at Hydro-Québec’s Rate D second-tier price (11.142¢/kWh since April 1, 2026), which applies if use exceeds the first tier (40 kWh per day, times the number of days in the period); below it, a kWh costs 7.065¢. Before taxes and access fees. Your home will have its own numbers.

08 · Refrigerants

R-454B, R-32, R-410A: what it changes.

Refrigerant is the fluid that carries the heat. The two R-454B series and the R-32 CB22 have a much lower GWP than the previous generation’s R-410A. In Canada, no GWP limit applies to residential heat pumps: R-410A remains allowed (SOR/2016-137, Schedule 1.1).

Global warming potential (GWP)
R-410AA12,090
R-32A2L675
R-454BA2L470

GWP and ASHRAE safety class, per the EPA (SNAP, March 19, 2026). A1: non-flammable; A2L: mildly flammable, burning velocity of at most 10 cm/s (ASHRAE 34).

What R-454B is made of
68.9% R-3231.1% R-1234yf

Composition per ASHRAE designations. The CB25 and UB32 use R-454B; the CB22, R-32; the Zephyr 18 and 23, R-410A.

In the United States, new residential air conditioners and heat pumps installed since January 1, 2025 must use a refrigerant with a GWP under 700, unless their components were made or imported before 2025. On May 21, 2026, the EPA removed the January 1, 2026 installation deadline for those pre-2025 components.

12 · Warranty and installation

10 years on parts, a 6-year legal warranty.

Zephyr’s base warranty covers parts for 10 years. For a heat pump bought new on or after October 5, 2026, the law adds a 6-year warranty of good working order, counted from delivery.

Zephyr base warranty
10 years

on parts, per the BRO_2606 brochures and TTI pages. “A labour warranty is available”: ask your contractor.

Parts (Zephyr)
10 years
Legal warranty
6 years

For a heat pump or air conditioner bought new from a merchant on or after October 5, 2026, Quebec law adds a free, automatic 6-year warranty of good working order, counted from delivery (Office de la protection du consommateur). Under TTI’s parts policy (v3.4, July 17, 2026), labour to replace a part during that period falls on the installing contractor.

Certified technician

Service or repair by anyone not certified and authorized by TTI (or Kinghome) ends the manufacturer’s conventional warranty (TTI, s. 4.4).

Through your installer

If something breaks, you call the contractor who installed it; they file the claim with TTI.

Filters, every month

TTI’s policy asks owners to clean the indoor unit filters at least once a month (s. 6.3).

14 · Frequently asked questions

What people ask us about Zephyr wall units.

To heat all winter, we recommend the CB25 or UB32, on R-454B, which run in heating mode down to -30 °C per Zephyr and are ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified. The UB32 is the most efficient, from 9,000 to 15,000 BTU/h; the CB25 goes up to 24,000 and comes in 115 V. The CB22, on R-32, heats down to -25 °C per Zephyr; we mostly advise it for cooling and shoulder-season heating.
