A high-performance central solution designed for Quebec winters
At AirGreen, we are seeing increasing demand for central systems capable of maintaining stable comfort even during periods of extreme cold in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore, and the South Shore. The Air Handler DIRECT AIR MAGIC PRO | 3 Tons stands out as a technical solution particularly suited to this reality.
Designed to work with the DIRM-36MAGICPRO20-OU central heat pump, this unit offers a rare combination of low-temperature heating performance, quiet operation, and installation flexibility, making it a strategic choice for residential and multi-dwelling properties.
Exceptional thermal performance and energy stability
Reliable heating down to -35°C
One of the most crucial factors for Quebec homeowners remains the actual heating capacity in winter. This model boasts a functional heating capacity down to -35°C, which far exceeds the standards of many central systems available on the market.
In practice, this means:
- Maintaining indoor comfort even during extreme cold snaps
- Reduced reliance on auxiliary heating
- Lower energy costs throughout the winter season
According to the manufacturer's technical data, the system maintains 100% efficiency at -15°C and approximately 75% at -25°C, confirming its reliability in a Nordic climate.
Real power and intelligent modulation
With a nominal capacity of 36,000 BTU, this system also offers:
- Up to 47,400 BTU in cooling at maximum range
- A heating capacity of 34,400 BTU at -15°C
- A COP that can reach 2.0 at low temperatures
Thanks to modulating inverter technology, power continuously adjusts to the building's actual needs, avoiding inefficient on/off cycles.
Optimized energy efficiency to reduce your costs
ENERGY STAR Cold Climate Certification
This system is ENERGY STAR certified, including for cold climates, which confirms:
- Optimized energy consumption
- Eligibility for subsidy programs, including LogisVert (up to $3648)
- Performance measured according to rigorous standards
Performance indices include:
- SEER2: 16+ (up to 20 SEER depending on configuration)
- HSPF2: up to 10
- EER2: high efficiency in instant air conditioning
These values reflect excellent seasonal efficiency, particularly advantageous for customers in Montreal and Montérégie, where climatic variations are significant.
Simplified and adaptable installation
Compatibility with existing systems
One of the major advantages of the DIRECT AIR MAGIC PRO lies in its ability to be easily integrated into an existing installation.
Specifically:
- Compatible with standard 24V thermostats
- Possibility of reusing existing refrigerant lines
- Works with existing heating systems (gas or electric)
This flexibility allows for:
- Reduced installation costs
- Minimizing invasive work
- Accelerated commissioning times
According to the technical documentation, this approach allows for a significant reduction in replacement costs.
Actual AirGreen Installation: A Case in Longueuil
During a recent project in Longueuil, our team replaced an old central system with this model. The client wanted to:
- Keep their existing ducts
- Improve winter performance
- Reduce indoor noise
Result:
- Installation completed in a single day
- Significant reduction in perceived noise
- Immediate improvement in thermal comfort
Compact design and easy integration
Optimized format for tight spaces
With interior dimensions of 21 × 21 × 49 inches, this model easily integrates into:
- Residential basements
- Confined technical rooms
- Multi-dwelling mechanical spaces
The brochure also highlights that this system is among the most compact in its category, facilitating its integration into almost all types of buildings.
Quiet operation: an often underestimated comfort
Noise reduction thanks to inverter technology
The indoor sound level is between 41.3 and 46.8 dB(A), which is particularly low for a central system of this capacity.
In practice:
- Less noise in living areas
- Increased comfort in bedrooms
- Ideal for residential and office environments
The inverter design allows for constant noise reduction by avoiding abrupt starts.
Energy versatility and dual-energy
Dual-fuel compatible
This system can be combined with:
- A gas furnace
- An existing electrical system
This allows for:
- Optimizing energy costs according to seasonal rates
- Ensuring redundancy in extreme conditions
- Increasing the overall lifespan of the system
This type of installation is particularly relevant in Quebec, where dual-energy strategies are encouraged.
Advanced technology and intelligent control
Key technical components
The system includes:
- Variable speed ECM motor
- Electronic Expansion Valve (EEV) for precise regulation
- Integrated intelligent diagnostics
- Adaptive control based on conditions
These elements enable:
- Better consumption management
- Easier maintenance
- Consistent performance over time
Warranty and reliability
The model offers a warranty:
- 10 years on the compressor
- 10 years on parts
- Labor not included as standard
This coverage demonstrates the manufacturer's confidence in the product's durability.
At AirGreen, we also offer options for extended labor warranty, for complete peace of mind.
