Turned down low: the 4C22 goes as quiet as 17.5 dB(A).
Five compact wall units from 9,000 to 18,000 BTU/h, on R-454B, two of them on 115 V. In silent speed, the 12,000 115 V is rated at 17.5 dB(A), per the CanAir brochure.
Updated October 27, 2026 · CanAir 4C22 brochure, ENERGY STAR, NEEP and Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert list
For anyone who wants a compact R-454B wall unit for a bedroom, an office or the shoulder seasons, and wants to know how it behaves at night, in the cold and for LogisVert.
All five 4C22 wall units, right below.
From 9,000 to 18,000 BTU/h, on 115 V or 230 V. Each page lists the AHRI number.
Pick a size and a speed: the needle shows the published level.
The 4C22 brochure publishes five fan speeds, from turbo down to silent, with the sound level of each.

Indoor sound levels in dB(A) by speed, and the outdoor unit level: CanAir 4C22 brochure (June 2025), p. 5. Rule of thumb: 10 dB(A) more sounds about twice as loud. dB(A) is weighted to follow the ear’s sensitivity.
Same outdoor unit, another head: the letter P is what opens LogisVert.
On June 9, 2026, ENERGY STAR certified 4C22 indoor heads whose model ends in “-P”, all of them cold climate. With them, the 12,000 (115 V and 230 V) and the 18,000 are on Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert list. The AHRI numbers on our current product sheets are not.

Who decides: the AHRI number on your invoice. We confirm with the distributor which version is delivered (with or without “-P”) and write it on the quote. The 9,000 has no amount either way: it is under the 12,000 BTU/h minimum.
Amounts and -8 °C outputs: Hydro-Québec LogisVert list of October 27, 2026 (identical to the October 8 list). “-P” certification: ENERGY STAR, read Oct. 8, 2026. Rate: $120 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8 °C, LogisVert residential participation guide, version 1.10, September 15, 2026.
At -15 °C, the 4C22 gives 6,500 to 11,500 BTU/h.
A shoulder-season and backup wall unit: it heats down to -15 °C, with a COP of 1.84 to 2.15 at that temperature.
Heat at -15 °C, size by size
Rated output and COP at -15 °C: CanAir 4C22 brochure (June 2025), p. 5. COP compares heat delivered with electricity used; baseboard heat gives 1.
Below -15 °C, another heat source takes over
The published heating range runs from -15 °C to 24 °C. Colder than that, your baseboards or current system heat the room. To heat all winter with the wall unit, the 4C28 goes down to -30 °C.
The C22 on R-410A, the 4C22 on R-454B: same job, another gas.
The 4C22 takes over the C22’s compact sizes with a refrigerant whose global warming potential is about 4.5 times lower.

Class A2L, printed on the brochure
The 4C22 brochure prints “A2L R-454B” (p. 5). A2L means low toxicity and mildly flammable. We install it following the rules set for that class.
What changes for you
In use, nothing: the unit heats and cools the same way. The refrigerant matters mostly for the environment and for the technician who services it.
Two HSPF2 figures on the brochure: region V is the colder of the two.
HSPF2 measures heating efficiency over a season. Most spec sheets give only region IV; the 4C22 brochure also publishes region V, a colder climate. Switch to compare.
HSPF2 in region IV and region V: CanAir 4C22 brochure (June 2025), p. 5. Our product pages show the region IV value.
Two 4C22 units run on 115 V: the 9,000 and the 12,000.
Same size, two voltages. Here are the published differences, side by side. The 12,000 on 115 V is the quietest in silent speed; the 230 V keeps better heating efficiency.
9,000 BTU/h: 115 V · 230 V

12,000 BTU/h: 115 V · 230 V
4C22SCH12H11 · 4C22SCH12H21
Your panel decides. Choosing 115 V or 230 V mostly depends on the room and the circuit available in your electrical panel. AirGreen holds subclass 16 (electrical) of its RBQ licence 5645-9605-01: we check it during the visit.
Efficiencies, heat at -15 °C and sound: CanAir 4C22 brochure (June 2025), p. 5. Max. circuit protection: airgreen.ca product pages, Oct. 27, 2026. Values given as 115 V · 230 V.

Your 4C22, chosen for the room you sleep in.
We come and see the room and the panel, choose the size and voltage with you, and hand you a clear quote with the AHRI number of the version delivered.
Heads-up: Hydro-Québec does not solicit anyone by phone or door to door for LogisVert. If a call “from Hydro-Québec” tries to sell you a heat pump, hang up.
