HITACHI airHome 400, 600 and 800 wall units: the three series compared, number by number

Hitachi publishes one brochure per series. None of them puts the three side by side, so we did it with the 15 certificates in our store: a heating floor that runs from -20.5°C to -30°C, NEEP-certified heat, efficiency and the LogisVert amount of every system. The chooser narrows it down in a few taps.

HITACHIR-32

Three heating limits

Floor: the lowest outdoor temperature Hitachi publishes for each series (400 and 600 brochures; English Canadian page and 18/24 manual of the airHome 800).

01 · The chooser

Six criteria, and only the wall units that fit you remain.

Each tap removes the systems that do not qualify, based on what Hitachi publishes and what the certificates say. The exact size is settled during the visit, room by room.

1 · The cold to face

Montréal-Trudeau, 1981-2010: 14.26 nights a year below -20°C, 0.27 below -30°C.

2 · The size

In BTU/h, as named in our titles. The right size is worked out during the visit.

3 · The electrical circuit
4 · Wi-Fi
5 · A third-party 5-wire thermostat
6 · LogisVert

Third-party thermostat: Hitachi provides for it on the airHome 400 and 600, over 5 wires, but it cannot run every Hitachi function, FrostWash included; for the airHome 800, Hitachi publishes nothing. LogisVert: list read Oct. 14, 2026, amounts recomputed Oct. 28, 2026 from the certificates.

The room first: what Hitachi publishes, case by case

BedroomQuiet and night modes

29 dB(A) in silent mode on the 9,000 and 12,000 airHome 400, and in the airHome 600 table; 30 dB(A) for the airHome 800. Night modes: GoodSleep on the 400, SleepSense on the 600 and 800.

Large open areaThe only 36,000

Only the airHome 400 goes up to 36,000 BTU/h (33,000 rated cooling), with up to 50 m of line.

Room without a 208-230 V circuitThe only 115 V unit

The 12,000 airHome 400 comes in 115/1/60. Every other wall unit needs a 208-230 V circuit.

Heating in deep coldThe lowest limit

The airHome 800 is certified at -30°C. For the airHome 600, which heats down to -25°C, Hitachi claims 100% capacity down to -15°C; on the basis of Hitachi’s brochure, the 15,000 reaches 83% and the 24,000, 98%.

Rental unitCard key and central control

The airHome 400 catalogue provides a card-key cord (SPX-WDC3) and a distributor that puts up to 13 units on a single wired controller (SPX-DST1).

Every roomThe size is measured

Hitachi publishes no size-per-room rule. We work it out during the visit, from the insulation, the windows and the way the room is used.

02 · In numbers

Cold, efficiency and certificates, series against series.

Hitachi Canada’s “Air Conditioning for Single Room” range holds exactly three wall series: airHome 800, 600 and 400. Here is what sets them apart, row by row, and where each number comes from.

Certified heat at -8.3°C (17°F): NEEP rated capacity, the figure ENERGY STAR repeats and Hydro-Québec reads, writing it -8°C. Coldest point: NEEP-certified maximum capacity and its COP; a COP of 2 gives 2 kWh of heat for 1 kWh of electricity. NEEP and ENERGY STAR records re-checked Oct. 28, 2026; LogisVert: list read Oct. 14, 2026, amounts recomputed Oct. 28, 2026 from the certificates.

The size name is not always the output

Our titles follow the size name. Hitachi prints the rated cooling output: 22,000 BTU/h for the “24,000” airHome 400 and 600, 33,000 BTU/h for the “36,000” airHome 400, 9,500 and 12,500 BTU/h for the “9,000” and “12,000” airHome 800. For the “24,000” airHome 800 the sources differ: 22,000 BTU/h per Hitachi’s brochure, 24,000 BTU/h per NEEP and ENERGY STAR.

04 · Montréal winter

Three heating limits against Montréal-Trudeau’s nights.

Slide the temperature: each series shows whether it still heats, and the box gives the number of nights a year Montréal-Trudeau went below that mark, from 1981 to 2010.

-20°C
Montréal-Trudeau, 1981-2010: 14.26 nights a year have a low below -20°C, 7.59 of them in January.
airHome 400
airHome 600Per Hitachi’s brochure, the 15,000 reaches 83% and the 24,000, 98%.
airHome 800

Floors published by Hitachi: -20.5°C (airHome 400 brochure), -25°C (airHome 600 brochure), -30°C (English Canadian page and 18/24 operation manual of the airHome 800). “100%” thresholds: HeatForce, Canadian airHome 600 (-15°C) and 800 (-20°C) pages. Nights: 1981-2010 climate normals, Montréal-Trudeau, Environment and Climate Change Canada; the station is at the airport, and Laval and the North Shore can be colder. The pairing is ours.

airHome 40014.26 nights a year below -20°C

That is the coldest point NEEP certifies for the airHome 400, half a degree above the -20.5°C floor Hitachi publishes.

airHome 600-14.04°C, the January average low

Hitachi claims 100% heating capacity for the airHome 600 down to -15°C, one degree lower; on the basis of Hitachi’s brochure, the 15,000 reaches 83% and the 24,000, 98%. The airHome 600 page works it out size by size.

airHome 8000.27 nights a year below -30°C

The airHome 800’s certified floor. Its “100%” threshold, -20°C, is crossed 14.26 nights a year.

05 · Equipment

FrostWash, filters, Wi-Fi: what each series adds.

The three series share R-32 refrigerant, the PM2.5 activated carbon filter, the optional SPX-URFG1 wired controller and cooling up to 46°C outside. The rest changes, and Hitachi does not document everything for every series: “not published” says so.

06 · LogisVert

11 of 15 wall units eligible, from $1,008 to $2,100, and the largest grant goes to an airHome 400.

Hydro-Québec pays $120 per 1,000 BTU/h of heat certified at -8°C for an ENERGY STAR certified unit classified “cold climate”. The 24,000 airHome 400 is certified at 17,500, more than the 24,000 airHome 600 (16,700) and the 18,000 and 24,000 airHome 800 (16,000 each): hence its $2,100.

All our 12,000 to 24,000 BTU/h airHome units are listed as “cold climate” in the ENERGY STAR list (US market) and receive LogisVert’s cold-climate rate. The 9,000 units are under the 12,000 BTU/h nominal minimum; the 36,000 airHome 400 is not on the ENERGY STAR list. Hydro-Québec: list read Oct. 14, 2026, amounts recomputed Oct. 28, 2026 from the certificates. Full LogisVert rules (eligibility, deadlines, documents): our LogisVert page.

72 published wall installations, and not one airHome 600 on the island of Montréal.

Every article shows a real installation, with its city or borough. Sorted by territory, the places draw three very different maps: the island for the airHome 400, the North and South Shores for the airHome 600, Laval for the airHome 800.

08 · Frequently asked questions

Your questions about the three series, answered.

It depends on the unit’s role. Hitachi publishes a heating floor of -20.5°C for the airHome 400, -25°C for the airHome 600 and -30°C for the airHome 800. At Montréal-Trudeau, 14.26 nights a year went below -20°C and 0.27 below -30°C (1981-2010 normals). The chooser at the top of the page does a first sort; we confirm during the visit, based on the room’s heating needs.
