What matters is the total of the installed price, minus the financial incentive, plus seven winters of energy consumption. The \u003cstrong\u003eGREE Extreme R32 12,000 BTU\u003c\/strong\u003e performs well on all three counts, which is why it is among our most frequent renovation recommendations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe certified figures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAHRI Certificate 216618221, ENERGY STAR listing 4511756.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSEER2 of 21.5\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eEER2 of 13.0\u003c\/strong\u003e in cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2 of 9.0\u003c\/strong\u003e in heating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e-8 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10,300 BTU\/h, COP of 2.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e-15 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10,500 BTU\/h, COP of 1.9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown to \u003cstrong\u003e-30 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6,500 BTU\/h at maximum capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe unit delivers \u003cstrong\u003emore\u003c\/strong\u003e heat at -15 °C than at -8 °C. This is not a typo: a variable-speed compressor increases its frequency as demand rises, and continues doing so as long as the heat exchanger can keep up. This is the performance that earns the model ENERGY STAR's \u003cstrong\u003ecold-climate\u003c\/strong\u003e designation, and it is exactly what you want from a unit that has to carry a Quebec home in January.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e$1,236 in financial assistance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model qualifies for Hydro-Québec's \u003cstrong\u003eLogisVert\u003c\/strong\u003e program for \u003cstrong\u003e$1,236\u003c\/strong\u003e for owners of existing homes, and qualifies for the program's enhanced incentive thanks to its cold-climate designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne clarification to avoid disappointment: the amount shown in some brochures applies to assistance for multi-unit buildings, not to a single homeowner. We cite only the amount that applies to you, and verify it using Hydro-Québec's official tool when preparing the application, since it varies according to the installation date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe calculation we do with our clients\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTake an area currently heated by baseboard heaters and consuming approximately 6,000 kWh per season. With an average COP between 2.5 and 2.8 over all heating hours, producing the same amount of heat requires roughly 2,200 to 2,400 kWh. The annual difference amounts to hundreds of dollars, and it repeats every year.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe refuse to turn this reasoning into a specific savings promise: your actual consumption depends on insulation, thermostat settings, exposure and the winter you get. But the order of magnitude is reliable, and it is based on certified COPs rather than on a catalogue average.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAirflow, and a warning\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaximum airflow is \u003cstrong\u003e353 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e, lower than that of the 9,000 BTU model in the same range. This results from the pairing of the indoor heat exchanger and the outdoor compressor, and has a direct practical implication: the \u003cstrong\u003eductwork\u003c\/strong\u003e must be generous. Use few tight bends, properly sized main sections, an accessible filter and sufficient return air. A restrictive network on this unit produces disappointing airflow in the farthest room, and no adjustment can make up for ductwork that is too small.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSummer comfort\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.96 pints of water per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the central neighbourhoods of \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, July humidity contributes more to discomfort than temperature. A properly sized unit runs for long periods at low speed and continuously dehumidifies; an oversized unit reaches the setpoint too quickly and leaves the air feeling heavy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndoor unit: \u003cstrong\u003e32.67 x 29.69 x 11.81 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e, sound level of \u003cstrong\u003e26 to 39 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e.
