Four rooms: the smallest outdoor unit that takes your four heads.
With four heads, the DLCMRA starts at 36,000 BTU, going by the maximum number of heads the manufacturer prints. The DLCMHB, at the end of its series, starts at 30,000, and we sell the D5CMHA as 4-zone from 30,000. Choose the four heads: you see the smallest unit that has them in the manufacturer’s chart, and the verdict for every 4-zone unit.

Four heads: what is the smallest outdoor unit that takes them?
Tap the head size for each room, in any order. The verdict comes from the manufacturer’s documents; the maximum heat is listed by NEEP or ENERGY STAR Canada, or printed in the 2018 catalogue, as shown under each value.
Head for room 1
Head for room 2
Head for room 3
Head for room 4
The size of each head is decided at the visit, room by room. Here you see what the manufacturer’s documents say about these four heads.

Heat in BTU/h: the outdoor unit’s maximum for the whole system, not per room. In the DLCMRA chart, the four heads add up to 75% to 133% of the outdoor unit’s size (our calculation). Beyond 133% of the outdoor unit’s size (the highest ratio the manufacturer prints for a DLCMRA combination), we show no positive verdict for the DLCMHB or the D5CMHA: to be confirmed. 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. The DLCMHB is at the end of its series.

Three things the manufacturer’s charts tell you.
0 × 24
On the 36,000 DLCMRA, four heads rule out the 24,000.
Its seven four-head combinations use only 9,000 and 12,000 heads, and at most one 18,000.
ARCOAIRE ductless catalogue 328-32-0499-00, May 2018, p. 485 of 18
On the 48,000 DLCMRA, a 24,000 head fits in 5 four-head combinations.
Always a single 24,000 per combination, with three heads from 9,000 to 18,000 (counted by us from the chart).

Four 12,000 heads on the 36,000 DLCMRA: the manufacturer prints it.
48,000 BTU/h of heads on a 36,000 unit, 133% of its size (our calculation): the highest ratio in the whole chart.

What people ask us about 4-zone systems.
Four small rooms: do I really need a big outdoor unit?
The number of heads matters as much as their size. The 27,000 DLCMRA takes three at most: for four heads, even 9,000 ones, you need at least the 36,000 DLCMRA, the 30,000 DLCMHB (end of series) or the 30,000 D5CMHA, which we sell as 4-zone (to be confirmed).
Why “to be confirmed” for the DLCMHB?
For the DLCMHB, the 2024 catalogue gives each head’s range in merged cells, with no combination chart. We show our reading, and beyond 133% of the unit’s size, no positive verdict. The DLCMHB is at the end of its series: we confirm the four heads and the stock before the quote.
And the D5CMHA?
We sell it as 4-zone from 30,000 to 55,000. The manufacturer publishes neither a combination chart nor a maximum per size: we confirm the four heads before the quote; beyond 133% of the unit’s size, it is to be confirmed first.
Is the heat split into four equal shares?
No. The maximum heat is the outdoor unit’s, for the whole system; it goes to the rooms that call for it, according to their need.
What about LogisVert?
It is indicative and taken from our product sheets. The DLCMRA units have none on our sheets. Only Hydro-Québec confirms the amount granted.
How do you choose the four heads?
At the visit, room by room; then we check that the outdoor unit accepts the four heads and that the four line sets stay within the manufacturer’s lengths.
