No other \u003cstrong\u003eR-32 ducted unit\u003c\/strong\u003e we distribute comes close to this figure, across all series and capacities. In a market where most ducted units fall between 18 and 22, the difference is real and shows up directly on your summer energy bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this model interesting, however, is not that figure. It is the fact that it did not achieve it by sacrificing heating performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCertified figures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAHRI Certificate 216618234, ENERGY STAR listing 4514338.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSEER2 of 24.5\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eEER2 of 14.0\u003c\/strong\u003e in cooling mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2 of 9.4\u003c\/strong\u003e in heating mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e-8 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 15,500 BTU\/h, COP of 2.86\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e-15 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 17,000 BTU\/h, COP of 1.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown to \u003cstrong\u003e-30 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10,100 BTU\/h at maximum capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e-15 °C, the unit delivers 17,000 BTU\/h\u003c\/strong\u003e, or 94% of its nominal capacity and significantly more than its 15,500 BTU\/h at -8 °C. The variable-speed compressor increases its frequency as demand rises. For an entire floor of a cottage in Laval or Blainville, that is the difference between a system that carries the house through January and one that hands the job over to baseboard heaters at the first cold snap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e$1,860 in LogisVert rebates\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis model qualifies for \u003cstrong\u003e$1,860\u003c\/strong\u003e for the owner of an existing home, and carries ENERGY STAR's \u003cstrong\u003ecold-climate\u003c\/strong\u003e designation, which unlocks the program's bonus. That is $96 more than the Crossover with the same capacity: Hydro-Québec calculates the rebate based on certified cold-weather performance, and the better performance at -15 °C translates directly into a higher amount. We validate the figure using Hydro-Québec's official tool when preparing your application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe honest trade-off to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt -30 °C, this model delivers 10,100 BTU\/h with a COP of 1.16. The 18,000 BTU Crossover drops to 9,900 BTU\/h but with a COP of 1.42. In other words, in extreme cold, the Extreme provides slightly more heat while consuming more energy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring a Montreal winter, the number of hours below -25 °C can be counted in the dozens, compared with thousands of hours between -5 and -15 °C. That is why we prioritize efficiency in the usual temperature range rather than performance in extreme conditions. If your home is in the Laurentians or Lanaudière, where nights at -28 °C are common, the conversation changes and we will tell you so.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e883 CFM, and what the ductwork needs to be\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaximum airflow reaches \u003cstrong\u003e883 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e, enough to supply four to five grilles. The unit is designed for \u003cstrong\u003ehigh static pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing it to push air through a real network of \u003cstrong\u003educts\u003c\/strong\u003e with branches and a filter without the airflow collapsing at the end of the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 24.5 SEER2 rating is a laboratory rating if the ductwork cannot keep up. A flexible duct crushed in a ceiling cavity, three consecutive elbows, an undersized return: each of these flaws costs more in practice than the difference between two models. We calculate the pressure drop before installation and adjust the duct sizes accordingly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHumidity and noise\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoisture removal of \u003cstrong\u003e3.80 pints of water per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e. Indoor sound level of \u003cstrong\u003e24 to 40 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e — the low end matches that of the smallest models in the range, which is remarkable at this capacity. Outdoor unit at \u003cstrong\u003e59 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e: position it away from bedroom windows, use anti-vibration pads, and provide sufficient clearance to prevent recirculation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInstallation data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndoor unit: \u003cstrong\u003e44.48 x 29.69 x 11.81 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e.
