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.


Detailed technical specifications: a well-balanced system

The DIRM-18MAGICPRO20-AH model offers solid technical characteristics for a medium-sized residence:

Performance and efficiency

  • Cooling capacity: 18,000 BTU
  • SEER2: up to 20 (depending on overall configuration)
  • HSPF2: up to 10
  • COP at -8°C: approximately 2.0
  • Power at -15°C: up to 16,500 BTU

Comfort and acoustics

  • Indoor noise level: 32 to 36 dB(A)
  • Quiet operation, ideal for residential spaces

Installation and compatibility

  • Piping: 3/8 – 3/4
  • Compatible with standard 24V thermostats
  • Compatible with existing systems (coil, furnace)
  • Possibility of bi-energy configuration (gas + heat pump)

Installation flexibility that makes a difference

Adapted to replacements and renovations

A major advantage of the DIRECT AIR MAGIC PRO is its ability to easily integrate into existing systems. This allows for:

  • Reuse of ducts and wiring
  • Reduced installation costs
  • Reduced construction time

In several projects in Boucherville, we were able to replace aging systems without modifying the existing infrastructure, which reduced costs for our clients.

Compact size ideal for confined spaces

The compact design of the indoor unit (17.5 × 21 × 45 inches) allows for installation in:

  • Technical basements
  • Mechanical closets
  • Confined spaces in co-ownerships

According to the brochure, it is one of the most compact systems in its category, a real advantage in modern buildings.


Real case: AirGreen installation on the North Shore

During a recent project in Blainville, a client wanted to replace an old inefficient electric furnace. The constraints were:

  • Limited mechanical space
  • Optimized budget
  • Need for high winter performance

We recommended the DIRECT AIR MAGIC PRO 1.5 ton for the following reasons:

  • Compatibility with existing installation
  • Excellent low-temperature performance
  • Applicable LogisVert grant of $1620

Result:

  • Installation completed in a single day
  • Uniform thermal comfort throughout the house
  • Immediate reduction in energy consumption

Technical points often overlooked by homeowners

Importance of airflow (CFM)

High airflow (up to approximately 1577 CFM) allows for better distribution of hot and cold air throughout the house. This avoids:

  • Cold zones
  • Temperature variations between rooms

Aluminum coil: a durable choice

The aluminum evaporator coil:

  • Better resists corrosion
  • Reduces the risk of leaks
  • Increases system longevity

Integrated intelligent diagnostics

The system includes adaptive control and intelligent diagnostics allowing for:

  • Rapid anomaly detection
  • Simplified maintenance
  • Reduced service costs

Grants and profitability

The model is eligible for the LogisVert grant of $1620, which significantly improves the return on investment.
