A Smart Solution to Maximize Comfort and Reduce Your Energy Bills in Montréal
At AirGreen, we regularly install multizone heat pumps in homes and businesses across Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore. Thanks to their advanced technology, exceptional energy efficiency, and installation flexibility, these systems are a strategic choice for any property seeking personalized thermal comfort while achieving substantial long-term savings. This article presents, backed by numbers, what you can really save by opting for a multizone heat pump, with real-life examples drawn from our on-site experience.
Why Choose a Multizone Heat Pump?
Multizone systems connect several indoor wall-mounted or ceiling units to a single outdoor compressor. Each indoor unit serves a specific area of the house, with its own temperature control. This flexibility brings major advantages:
-
Optimized energy consumption
-
Personalized comfort based on each occupant’s preference
-
Significant reductions in heating and cooling costs
-
Less energy loss compared to traditional central systems
Case Study: A Multizone Installation in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Montréal
A couple who owned a duplex in Rosemont reached out to us looking for a complete energy-efficient solution. Their home, typical of the area, had two floors plus a finished basement. They wanted a centralized solution without having to renovate their entire duct system. We recommended a Gree Multizone heat pump with three indoor wall units: Lomo 18,000 + 9,000 + 9,000 BTU, connected to a Gree Multi36HP230V1AO outdoor unit.
