Multizone Wall-Mounted Heat Pumps: Why Spending More Upfront Can Actually Save You Big in the Long Run

A Strategic Choice for Comfort and Energy Savings in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and South Shore

At AirGreen, we’ve helped hundreds of residential and commercial property owners make the switch to multizone wall-mounted heat pump systems across Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and the South Shore. And what do we consistently see? A clear trend: customers who invest in more advanced multizone systems enjoy optimal comfort, reduced energy consumption, and significant financial savings in the medium and long term.

Understanding Multizone Wall-Mounted Heat Pumps: A Custom Solution for Every Space

Unlike single-split systems, multizone heat pumps allow you to connect multiple indoor units to a single outdoor compressor. That means you can independently control the temperature in different rooms or zones of your property, all while enjoying a compact, centralized system.

Why does this matter?

  • Flexible temperature control: Each occupant can adjust their zone based on their preferences.

  • Lower energy use: You only heat or cool the rooms being used.

  • Fewer outdoor units: Ideal for urban settings like Montréal or Laval.

  • Perfect for renovations: Great for already-built homes or multi-unit buildings on the South Shore.

Real-World Case Study: FUJITSU Multizone Heat Pump Installation in Longueuil

One of our clients in Longueuil wanted to upgrade their duplex’s heating system while avoiding invasive construction. We recommended a FUJITSU multizone wall-mounted heat pump, model AOU36RLXFZ, with three indoor units ASUG12LMCE of 12,000 BTU each.

Challenges encountered:

  • The outdoor unit needed to be installed on a brick load-bearing wall with limited clearance.

  • Complex conduit routing through already-closed partitions.

  • The client wanted a solution that preserved both aesthetics and noise comfort.

Solutions provided by AirGreen:

  • Wall-mounted installation with soundproofing treatment.

  • Precise drilling between floors without compromising structure.

  • Integrated smart programming for remote control via mobile app.

Result: The client now enjoys personalized comfort on each floor, and saw a 38% reduction in electricity usage compared to their previous electric baseboard heating system.

Initial Investment vs Long-Term Savings: The Real Math

Many people hesitate to go with a multizone heat pump because the initial cost is higher compared to a monosplit system. However, here’s what we consistently see with our clients:

Initial Cost (full installation) Average Annual Savings Return on Investment
$8,000 to $12,000 $800 to $1,500 Around 6 to 8 years

With grants such as Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program, many of our clients qualify for up to $2,500 in financial aid, which speeds up the return on investment.

Technical Advantages of Modern Multizone Systems

The high-end models we install from GREE, FUJITSU, or SHARP feature Inverter compressors that dynamically adjust to the energy demand in each room.

Key features to look for:

  • R-32 or R-410A refrigerant with a lower environmental impact.

  • SEER rating over 20, meaning exceptional efficiency.

  • Heating performance down to -30°C, ideal for Québec winters.

  • HEPA or plasma filtration for healthier indoor air.
