Customized comfort becomes the standard: the quiet revolution of multi-zone systems
In a market increasingly focused on energy efficiency, personalized comfort, and smart solutions for heating and air conditioning, the multi-zone heat pump has emerged as the cornerstone of CVAC projects in Greater Montreal. Whether in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore or the South Shore, we at AirGreen are witnessing a major transformation in consumer habits in 2025, leaning toward modular, quiet, high-performance, and eco-responsible solutions.
With our expertise and hundreds of successful installations in single-family homes, duplexes, condos, rental buildings, and small businesses, we are at the forefront of these changes. Here are the 5 major trends that explain why the multi-zone heat pump is becoming an essential choice in the HVAC field in Quebec this year.
1. Unmatched flexibility with multi-zone heat pumps
One of the biggest advantages of multi-zone systems is their ability to adapt to the specific needs of each room or floor. Unlike centralized systems or single wall units, a multi-zone heat pump allows independent temperature control for multiple zones, all connected to a single outdoor unit.
A real example from AirGreen:
Recently, we installed a Gree Multi+ Ultra multi-zone heat pump in an intergenerational home in Laval. Each floor had distinct climate needs: the grandparents on the ground floor wanted steady, gentle warmth, while the teenagers upstairs needed stronger cooling during summer. With four wall units connected to a single outdoor compressor, each zone now enjoys optimal and independent comfort, without any conflicts among family members.
2. Energy efficiency at the heart of 2025 priorities
With soaring energy costs and increasingly strict environmental standards, homeowners are looking for Energy Star certified units, equipped with inverter technology, and compliant with new market demands like R-32 or R-454B refrigerants, which are more environmentally friendly.
Real-world result:
Our clients who chose Bosch BOVA Multi-Zone or Mitsubishi Zuba Multi systems are seeing monthly energy savings of up to 35% compared to their old electric systems. This performance is amplified by the real-time power adjustment according to demand, eliminating the usual energy loss from traditional systems.
3. Aesthetic and discretion in service of interior design
In 2025, multi-zone heat pumps also shine through their architectural discretion. Thanks to compact indoor units (wall-mounted, low-profile consoles, or ducted) and strategically placed outdoor units, these systems preserve the home’s aesthetic while maximizing indoor space.
Case study:
On the South Shore, in a renovated heritage home in Saint-Lambert, we installed a Fujitsu Multi-Zone KXAH R-32 heat pump with three minimalist white wall-mounted units and a discreet outdoor unit hidden under the rear porch. The client, concerned about preserving the visual integrity of their property, especially appreciated this invisible integration into the home’s architecture.
4. Increased subsidies for multi-zone systems in 2025
The Hydro-Québec LogisVert program, enhanced this year, offers grants up to $5,000 for high-efficiency multi-zone heat pumps. These incentives, combined with municipal programs in Montreal and Laval, make projects much more financially accessible.
Our approach:
At AirGreen, we assist every client in building their subsidy application, verifying the product’s eligibility, and providing all required documents. Our recent installation in Bois-des-Filion of a Gree Multi-Zone system with 5 indoor heads enabled the client to receive $4,800 in combined grants, significantly reducing the initial cost.
5. Simplified maintenance for long-term performance
Contrary to popular belief, multi-zone systems are easy to maintain, especially when installed by experts. At AirGreen, we design our installations to allow quick access to filters, circuits, and the outdoor unit, making annual maintenance simple.
Technical detail:
We offer a personalized annual maintenance plan, which includes filter cleaning, inspection of refrigerant lines, performance checks of each zone, and an energy efficiency audit. This not only ensures the longevity of the equipment, but also peak performance year-round.
