How far down each family keeps heating.
These listings give no certified heat at -8 °C or -15 °C. What DURASTAR does publish is the operating limit of each family.
The cold limit, by family
“Down to”: heating operating range from DURASTAR’s spec sheets (Sirius Heat: -22 °F / -30 °C; non-Sirius: -13 °F / -25 °C; 115 V: -4 °F / -20 °C). Sirius Heat keeps 100% of its rated heating capacity down to 0 °F (-18 °C). DURASTAR publishes no minimum for Advanced and Core.

What to know before choosing.
One unit, several room counts
The same outdoor unit is sold for 2 rooms and up, to its maximum. That is why one model shows up on several “rooms” pages.
The LogisVert amount of a multi-zone
The AHRI number and the amount belong to the outdoor unit, not to the number of heads. The “1st generation” listings have no AHRI number: amount on quote.
Heads of your choice
Cassettes, consoles, ducted, floor-ceiling units: DURASTAR’s multi-zone listings show the heads that work with each outdoor unit. The mix is confirmed in the quote.

How many rooms with a DURASTAR multi-zone?
Up to 6 on R-454B and 5 on R-410A, depending on the outdoor unit. Each card in the selector shows the model’s maximum.
Does every room need a wall unit?
No. The heads can be wall, cassette, console or ducted units; the exact combination is confirmed in the quote.
Why does the same model appear several times?
An outdoor unit accepts a range of room counts. We list it for each count it accepts, with the same AHRI number and the same LogisVert amount.
One multi-zone or several wall units?
A multi-zone keeps one unit outside for several rooms. Several wall units mean one outdoor unit per room. We compare both with you, with each option’s AHRI number.
How much is an installed DURASTAR?
Every installation is different: the estimate is free and the price comes with the quote.
Who makes DURASTAR?
DURASTAR is the house brand of Ferguson, a large North American heating and cooling distributor; in Canada, Ferguson does business as Wolseley. The Advanced and Core central systems are warranted by Rheem Sales Company. DURASTAR does not publish who makes its mini-splits.
Your DURASTAR, chosen with you and installed by AirGreen.
We look at your home, choose the family and the size, check the LogisVert amount of the exact AHRI number, and hand you a clear quote.
Hydro-Québec does no phone or door-to-door solicitation for LogisVert. An unrequested call “on behalf of Hydro-Québec” is probably a scam.
