Airflow increases to \u003cstrong\u003e883 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e, more than double that of the 12,000 BTU model, and it is this figure - not the BTU capacity - that determines how many rooms a single unit can actually serve. A network of \u003cstrong\u003educts\u003c\/strong\u003e supplying four or five grilles requires airflow before it requires cooling capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the capacity we recommend for an open-concept main floor, a cottage floor with three bedrooms, or a fully finished basement. The indoor unit extends to \u003cstrong\u003e44.48 x 29.69 x 11.81 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e while retaining the same height as the smaller models, which matters: a longer concealed duct unit is often easier to fit than a thicker one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Certified Figures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAHRI Certificate 216618231, ENERGY STAR Listing 4514336.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e22.5 SEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e, the best cooling efficiency in the Crossover lineup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e14.0 EER2\u003c\/strong\u003e at full load\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e9.0 HSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e in heating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e-8 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14,700 BTU\/h, COP of 2.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e-15 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15,000 BTU\/h, COP of 1.9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown to \u003cstrong\u003e-30 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9,900 BTU\/h at maximum capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt -15 °C, the unit retains \u003cstrong\u003e83%\u003c\/strong\u003e of its nominal capacity. That is the statistic that matters for an entire floor: it means the system continues to carry the main load during the coldest week of January, with supplemental heating remaining supplemental.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Rebate\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model qualifies for Hydro-Québec's \u003cstrong\u003eLogisVert\u003c\/strong\u003e program for up to \u003cstrong\u003e$1,764\u003c\/strong\u003e for the owner of an existing home, and it is designated as \u003cstrong\u003ecold climate\u003c\/strong\u003e, which provides access to the program's bonus. The amount is confirmed using Hydro-Québec's official tool when we prepare your application, because the eligible list and amounts change depending on the installation date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStatic Pressure, Where Projects Succeed or Fail\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-static-pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e concealed duct unit can push air through a real network: straight runs, elbows, branches, grilles, and filters. A low-pressure concealed duct unit cannot. The distinction becomes decisive at this capacity, because this is where we begin serving remote rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn our experience, what causes an 18,000 BTU installation to fail is almost never the unit. It is an undersized network: flexible ducts that are too long, consecutive 90-degree elbows, and insufficient return grilles. The result is immediately apparent - the back bedroom remains warm, the unit whistles, and the bill goes up. We calculate the system's pressure loss before installation rather than after the first service call.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDehumidification and Summer Comfort\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3.80 pints of water per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e. On an entire floor, this is what allows you to maintain a 24 °C setpoint comfortably rather than having to lower it to 21 °C to compensate for excessive humidity. Every degree avoided represents real savings during July and August.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNoise\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndoor unit at \u003cstrong\u003e24 to 40 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e - the low setting is the quietest in the entire Crossover lineup, despite the higher capacity. Outdoor unit at \u003cstrong\u003e59 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e, which requires a little more attention to placement than the smaller models: away from bedroom windows, on anti-vibration mounts, and never in a corner where two walls reflect the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation Data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOutdoor Unit\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e37.72 x 15.83 x 25.98 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a \u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 - 5\/8 inch\u003c\/strong\u003e connection. The gas line increases to 5\/8, which means different copper tubing from the 9,000 and 12,000 BTU models - an important detail if you are considering reusing existing piping. In almost every case, we recommend replacing it: R-32 and R-410A do not use the same oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003ePower Supply\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e220 V\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e16 A MCA\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e20 A MOP\u003c\/strong\u003e. We check the panel's available capacity when preparing the quote. In a triplex or a 1950s house with a 100 A panel that is already heavily loaded, this check avoids an unpleasant surprise on installation day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRefrigerant and Warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eR-32\u003c\/strong\u003e is an A2L refrigerant with low global warming potential.
