A discreet and efficient HVAC solution for optimal year-round comfort
In the context of Greater Montreal, where climatic variations are extreme, choosing an adapted heat pump is essential. The DIRECT AIR DA25 18,000 BTU ceiling cassette stands out as an ideal solution for residential and commercial spaces requiring uniform, discreet, and efficient air distribution.
At AirGreen, we regularly install this type of equipment in condos, offices, and businesses in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore, especially when clients are looking for an alternative to visible wall-mounted units or complex central systems.
Why choose a ceiling cassette rather than a wall-mounted unit?
The ceiling cassette offers several distinct advantages that we observe in the field:
4-way air distribution
Unlike wall-mounted units, the cassette distributes air in four directions, ensuring a homogeneous temperature throughout the room. This eliminates cold or hot spots.
Architectural discretion
Installed in the ceiling, it becomes practically invisible. In projects in downtown Montreal or in high-end renovations in Outremont or Brossard, this criterion is often decisive.
Space saving
No bulky wall unit. Ideal for:
- Commercial offices
- Restaurants
- Modern condos
- Open spaces
DIRECT AIR DA25 18,000 BTU Performance: What the numbers say
The DA25 series is designed to high standards adapted to the Canadian climate.
Here are the key points of the 18,000 BTU model:
Capacity and thermal performance
- Cooling: 18,000 BTU
- Effective heating down to -25°C
- Power at -15°C: 12,700 BTU
- COP at -8°C: 2.163
This concretely means:
Even in the middle of a Quebec winter, the heat pump continues to heat efficiently without constant reliance on an auxiliary source.
Energy efficiency
- High SEER2 (up to approx. 23.5 depending on the series)
- Efficient HSPF for heating
- ENERGY STAR® certification
Result: significant reduction in energy costs, especially in well-insulated homes.
Smart features and advanced comfort
The DIRECT AIR DA25 is not limited to raw performance. It integrates several features that we consider essential after hundreds of installations:
Integrated technologies
- Automatic restart
- Automatic defrost
- 24h timer
- Low temperature mode in air conditioning
- Optional WiFi (Alexa / Google compatible)
Acoustic comfort
- Indoor sound level: 35.5 to 43.5 dB(A)
- Outdoor level: 58 dB(A)
In a project completed in Laval, a client specifically chose this model for their professional office. Result: almost inaudible operation during meetings.
