Several rooms, one outdoor unit: count your rooms first.
For the two R-410A families, the manufacturer prints a maximum of 2 to 5 heads depending on the outdoor unit: 2 for the 18,000 DLCMRA, 5 for the 48,000 DLCMRA and DLCMHB. For the D5CMHA, it states up to six indoor units for the whole family. Pick the number of rooms: you see which units of the three ARCOAIRE families we sell for it, their maximum heat at -15 °C and -30 °C, and the page that groups them.
How many rooms? Here are the outdoor units that can handle them.
The maximum number of heads comes from the manufacturer’s catalogues for the DLCMRA and the DLCMHB; for the D5CMHA, these are the configurations we sell. The heat at -15 and -30 °C is listed by NEEP or ENERGY STAR Canada, or printed in the 2018 catalogue, as shown under each value.
Number of rooms to heat and cool
One head per room. The number of rooms and the size of each head are decided at the visit; here you see the units we sell for that number of rooms.

Heat in BTU/h: the outdoor unit’s maximum for the whole system, not per room. The DLCMRA is rated in SEER (not SEER2) in the ARCOAIRE ductless catalogue 328-32-0499-00 (May 2018); it is neither listed by NEEP nor in the ENERGY STAR Canada list. NEEP lists a -30 °C point only for the D5CMHA units. The DLCMHB is at the end of its series.
All 39 ARCOAIRE multi-zone systems, right below.
Each product gives the outdoor unit, the number of heads and their sizes and, when there is one, the AHRI number and the indicative LogisVert amount. Pricing by quote.
Three families, three levels of published detail.
What the manufacturer publishes for each one changes what we can confirm before the visit.
Deluxe Series · R-454B
Six sizes, from 18,000 to 55,000 BTU.
QuietComfort Series · R-410A, high heat
Four sizes, from 24,000 to 48,000 BTU, at the end of the series.
2018 generation · R-410A
Four sizes, from 18,000 to 48,000 BTU.
D5CMHA: ARCOAIRE Deluxe Series brochure DLS-030-AR-02 (June 2026), pp. 2 and 4, manufacturer web page (arcoaire.com), read November 5, 2026, and NEEP. DLCMHB: ARCOAIRE ductless catalogue DLS-001-AR-01 (March 2024), pp. 8, 21 and 46 to 48; the 30,000 DLCMHB is ENERGY STAR certified without the cold-climate mention. For the DLCMHB, the 2024 catalogue (p. 21) gives each head’s range in merged cells with no borders: we read one range per unit, which we confirm before the quote. DLCMRA: ARCOAIRE ductless catalogue 328-32-0499-00 (May 2018), pp. 45, 46 and 48; the 96 combinations are our count from the chart. The 18,000 DLCMRA is rated ENERGY STAR (non-ducted) in that catalogue, but is not in the ENERGY STAR Canada list read October 28, 2026.
One page per number of rooms, each with its own tool.
Three things the manufacturer’s documents tell you.
The DLCMRA needs no branch box in multi-zone.
Each head connects straight to the outdoor unit. The manufacturer says this saves installation effort and costs.
ARCOAIRE ductless catalogue 328-32-0499-00, May 2018, p. 6The HH in DLCMHB sizes means “high heat”.
The manufacturer calls them the “High Heat Outdoor Unit”, in 24HH, 30HH, 36HH and 48HH. Those are the ones we sell, at the end of the series.
ARCOAIRE ductless catalogue DLS-001-AR-01, March 2024, pp. 8 and 47The D5CMHA family states up to six indoor units.
It is a family-level statement, on R-454B. The maximum per size is not published: here, these units are sold from 2 to 5 zones.
ARCOAIRE Deluxe Series brochure DLS-030-AR-02, June 2026, p. 2What people ask us about multi-zone.
One room heating and another cooling, at the same time?
No. The manufacturer states it for the DLCMRA and the DLCMHB: a multi-zone system cannot heat and cool at the same time (ARCOAIRE ductless catalogue 328-32-0499-00 (May 2018), p. 45; ARCOAIRE ductless catalogue DLS-001-AR-01 (March 2024), p. 46). All rooms run in the same mode, each at its own temperature. The documents we hold for the D5CMHA do not say: we confirm it at the visit.
Which family should I choose?
In the coldest weather, only the D5CMHA has a NEEP-listed -30 °C point and ENERGY STAR cold-climate certification on all six sizes. The DLCMRA has the advantage of a full chart of head combinations. The DLCMHB is at the end of its series, while stock lasts. We compare at the visit, for your rooms.
A cassette or a ducted unit instead of a wall head?
Each family has its list of allowed indoor units: wall, cassette, ducted and console for the DLCMRA and the DLCMHB; for the D5CMHA, the ARCOAIRE Deluxe Series brochure DLS-030-AR-02 (June 2026) lists the series’ indoor units without saying which go with which size. The products on this page come with wall heads; another indoor unit is confirmed at the visit.
Why “not published” for the D5CMHA’s maximum heads?
Because the manufacturer only gives “two to six indoor units” for the whole family, with no per-size detail. So we show the configurations we sell, from 2 to 5 zones, and confirm the size before the quote.
What about LogisVert?
It is indicative and taken from our product sheets. The DLCMRA units have none on our sheets; the 24,000 D5CMHA amount ($3,480) follows its heat at -8 °C per ENERGY STAR (29,000 BTU/h; NEEP lists 23,600). Only Hydro-Québec confirms the amount granted.
How do you choose?
At the visit: we look at each room, the head size it needs and the line-set route to the outdoor unit. Then we choose the family and the size that take those heads.
Several rooms, one well-chosen outdoor unit.
We count your rooms, choose each head, then the outdoor unit that takes them according to the manufacturer’s documents. You get a quote with the system and its AHRI number when it has one.
