A compact and high-performance central solution designed for Quebec's climate
At AirGreen, we daily install HVAC systems adapted to the demanding climatic realities of Greater Montreal, including Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore. The Air Handler DIRECT AIR MAGIC PRO | 1.5 Tons model stands out as a particularly effective central solution for residential properties seeking a balance between performance, compactness, and installation flexibility.
This system, designed to work with the DIRM-18MAGICPRO20-OU central heat pump, is distinguished by an impressive heating capacity down to -35°C, high energy efficiency, and exceptional compatibility with existing installations.
Why choose the DIRECT AIR MAGIC PRO 1.5 tons for your property
Stable performance even in harsh winters
In our installations in Laval and on the South Shore, one of the most decisive criteria remains the system's ability to maintain stable performance during periods of intense cold.
- Heating capacity maintained down to -35°C
- 100% efficiency at -15°C
- Approximately 75% capacity still available at -25°C
Concretely, this means that even on the coldest days in Montreal, the system continues to provide reliable heat without relying excessively on auxiliary heating.
Inverter technology for optimized consumption
The MAGIC PRO system uses inverter technology, which modulates power according to the building's actual needs. This modulation allows for:
- Significant reduction in energy costs
- More stable thermal comfort
- Reduced wear on components
We recently installed this system in a duplex in Longueuil, where the client observed a noticeable drop in their electricity consumption from the first winter.
