LENNOX central heat pump: Merit or MMLD? It depends on your furnace.

The Merit: R-410A, single-speed compressor, on your furnace or with the CBA25UH. The MMLD and MMPD: R-32, output that varies, with the MMD air handler. Tell us what heats the house today: we show you the LENNOX path and its certified numbers, size by size.

What heats the house today decides the LENNOX path

Pick your heating and the size: we show the LENNOX systems that fit, with the certified heat at -8.3 °C and the indicative LogisVert amount. The final size is set at the visit.

Heating in place
System size

An electric furnace means the ducts and a forced-air unit are already there. Two LENNOX paths replace it with an air handler and a heating element: the MMD with an MMLD or MMPD (R-32), or the CBA25UH with a Merit (R-410A).

Certified heat: the system’s ENERGY STAR rating at 17 °F (-8.3 °C), the one Hydro-Québec uses for LogisVert. Merit: only the ML17XP1 has Canada-listed combinations, from 1.5 to 4 tons; the ML14XP1 and ML16XP1 have no ENERGY STAR listing. The Merit also comes in 3.5 and 5 tons.

At Montréal-Trudeau, about 12 nights a year drop below -20 °C (1991-2020 normals). Below that, the MMPD is outside its range.

Three things the LENNOX documents say about central systems

7

One MMLD outdoor unit, seven indoor families

LENNOX’s single-zone MMLD form matches it with the MMD, the MDDD and MMDD ducted units, the M22D, M33D and M1WD cassettes, and the MFMD floor console. Depending on the size, an MMLD heats through ducts or without them.

LENNOX, form 211076 (Dec. 2025), p. 12.

All three Merit models have a single-speed compressor

The ML14XP1 and ML16XP1 use a single-stage scroll compressor; LENNOX also calls the ML17XP1 “single-stage”. The MMLD modulates instead: with the MMD, the 30,000 heats from 10,000 to 43,000 BTU/h per the LENNOX sheet.

LENNOX, bulletins 210761 and 210881 (Nov. 2020), ML17XP1 page; sheet 496388 (Jan. 2025).
+5

In Québec, a Merit gets 5 more years on parts, automatically

The Warranty Your Way certificate names Québec: the default five-year parts extension applies without registration. With the basic warranty, that makes 10 years on parts and 5 years on the compressor.

04 · The Merit

Merit: what LENNOX publishes, and what it doesn’t

Three R-410A series, all with a single-speed compressor. LENNOX’s Merit documents give no minimum heating temperature, so we don’t show one.

LENNOX warranty in Québec

5 years on the compressor (W900000-02) and 10 years on parts: 5 basic, plus 5 by default without registration (EW900012-01). LENNOX does not cover labour.

After a winter outage

After an outage of more than an hour below 10 °C, LENNOX asks to keep the ML17XP1 on emergency heat for at least six hours before normal operation.

05 · LogisVert

LogisVert: an indicative amount per MMLD or MMPD system

Amounts from our product pages, matching Hydro-Québec’s list at our last check (list of October 6, 2026). Indicative amounts: only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted.

What the LogisVert guide says

  • The amount is based on the system’s certified heat at -8 °C: $120 per 1,000 BTU/h if it is certified cold climate, $50 otherwise.
  • ENERGY STAR certified heat pump, at least 12,000 BTU/h nominal.
  • At most 100% of the purchase and installation cost, before taxes.
  • Apply no later than nine months after installation.
  • Residential only: commercial spaces are excluded.

MMLD 12,000: LENNOX publishes no combination with an MMD. The AHRI number on its page (216581330) is, in the ENERGY STAR registry, another LENNOX system’s: the amount waits for the chosen indoor unit. Merit: our pages carry no AHRI number, so we show no amount.

06 · Questions

What people ask us about LENNOX central systems

Merit or MMLD: what really changes?

The Merit runs on R-410A with a single-speed compressor. The MMLD runs on R-32 and varies its output: with the MMD, the 30,000 heats from 10,000 to 43,000 BTU/h per the LENNOX sheet. At 3 tons, its certified heat at -8.3 °C is 29,000 BTU/h, against 21,600 to 24,000 for the ML17XP1, depending on the Canada-listed combination.

How cold can a Merit heat?

LENNOX publishes no minimum heating temperature for the ML14XP1, ML16XP1 or ML17XP1. It does ask, after an outage of more than an hour below 10 °C, to keep the ML17XP1 on emergency heat for at least six hours. The MMLD heats down to -25 °C; the MMPD, down to -20 °C.

I have a gas furnace: do I keep it?

You can. The Merit matches an indoor coil set on the furnace, per its AHRI combination. The MMLD and MMPD need a LENNOX indoor unit such as the MMD, in place of the furnace. Any work on the gas or oil appliance is done by a licensed partner.

MMLD or MMPD for Montréal?

The MMLD heats down to -25 °C and has a base pan heater; the MMPD stops at -20 °C. At Montréal-Trudeau, about 12 nights a year drop below -20 °C (1991-2020 normals). With the MMD, ENERGY STAR certifies both for Canada, cold-climate category.

Does a LENNOX central heat pump qualify for LogisVert?

The MMLD and MMPD systems with the MMD, from 1.5 to 4 tons, carried an indicative amount on Hydro-Québec’s list of October 6, 2026. Our Merit pages carry no AHRI number, so we show no amount there. Only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted.

Does the 12,000 MMLD go with an MMD?

LENNOX does not publish that combination: its single-zone MMD form runs from 1.5 to 4 tons. LENNOX certifies the 12,000 MMLD with ducted units (MDDD, MMDD), cassettes (M1WD, M22D) and the MFMD floor console. We choose the indoor unit with you at the visit.

What about the warranty in Québec?

MMLD and MMPD: 12 years on parts and 12 years on the compressor; the MMD, 12 years on parts; no registration in Québec (EW900011-01). Merit: 5 years on the compressor and 10 years on parts (W900000-02 and EW900012-01). LENNOX does not cover labour.

Which size for my house?

We don’t guess it over the phone. We come and look at the house, the ducts, the furnace in place and the electrical panel, then we suggest the size. The estimate is free.
