A reliable VRF system for Quebec's harsh winters
In the field of HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), it is essential to be able to count on a flexible, efficient system that can operate even in the extreme climatic conditions encountered in Montreal, Laval and Longueuil. That is why today we are presenting the Lennox Cold Climate VRF Varix Extreme | 16 Tons | Parts by Samsung , a solution adapted to large commercial and residential buildings, including those located on the North Shore and the South Shore . Thanks to its heating capacity down to -30°C and its modularity to serve several zones, this system promises unparalleled comfort while reducing your energy bills.

Why choose a VRF system for our climate?

Before discussing the specifics of the Lennox Cold Climate VRF Varix Extreme , it is important to understand what a VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) system is. The basic principle is based on a refrigerant flow modulated according to actual heating or cooling needs. In practice, here are some of the main advantages of VRF technology for our sometimes very hot winters and summers:

• Precise temperature control : Each room or zone can be controlled independently, allowing for both heated and cooled spaces within the same building.

• Energy saving : Thanks to the fine adjustment of the refrigerant flow, consumption is limited to what is strictly necessary.

• Simultaneous Comfort : VRF heat recovery systems are able to transfer heat between different zones, further optimizing efficiency.

• HVAC Installation Flexibility : Ductwork and interior equipment can be adapted to various architectural configurations, a major advantage when space is limited.

Technical Specifications for the Lennox Cold Climate VRF Varix Extreme | 16 Tons | Parts by Samsung

The presented model, with a capacity of 16 tons (approximately 192,000 BTU of cooling), is distinguished by:

• Heating capacity to -30°C : This feature makes all the difference for building owners or managers in the greater Montreal area, where winters can be harsh.

• Compatibility with multiple indoor units : Up to 33 zones can be served, thanks to various fan coil options (2x2, 3x3 cassettes, wall units, ceiling units, etc.).

• Parts by Samsung : This technology partnership ensures a reliable supply of quality components, while benefiting from the Lennox warranty and expertise.

• External dimensions (51 x 30.13 x 66.75) x 2 : Despite a high capacity, these units optimize floor space, an advantage for city center installations.

• R-410A refrigerant system : Reliable, widely used in industry and compliant with current environmental standards.

• Sound level of 61 dB(A) : Quiet operation, essential for preserving the peace of mind of occupants, particularly in dense urban areas.

Concrete examples of AirGreen installations

At AirGreen, we installed this Lennox Cold Climate VRF Varix Extreme in several commercial buildings in Montreal and Laval. In an office building located in the heart of downtown Montreal, the owner wanted to maintain an optimal level of comfort for its employees and visitors, while avoiding service interruptions during intense cold spells. We therefore proceeded with the complete installation of a VRF Varix Extreme 16 Ton, coupled with ceiling cassettes adapted to the existing configuration. The result: a stable temperature in each zone, even during winter peaks below -25°C, and significant energy savings compared to the old direct electric heating system.

On the South Shore , in Longueuil, a luxury residential building also benefited from this system: thanks to the modularity of the control in several zones, the co-owners were able to precisely regulate the temperature in their individual apartments. HVAC maintenance costs were reduced and the reliability of the system reassured everyone about the longevity of the investment.

Key innovations to tackle the cold

Several technologies differentiate the Lennox Cold Climate VRF Varix Extreme from the competition:

1. Flash Injection Technology : A process that ensures more efficient heat delivery, even when the outside temperature drops below -20°C. This optimized refrigerant injection maintains compressor performance and prevents efficiency losses.

2. Intelligent Adaptive Control : Integrated electronics analyze the needs of each zone in real time. The system self-regulates to modulate heating and cooling power, thus avoiding excessively frequent starts and stops that can prematurely wear out components.

3. Heat recovery mode : This allows you to recover heat from air-conditioned areas to heat those that need it. This feature results in reduced energy consumption and increased overall comfort.

Key Benefits for Owner and Installer

• Space saving : The outdoor modules are relatively compact and can be easily stacked or assembled, simplifying installation logistics.

• Design Flexibility : AirGreen installers can configure several types of indoor units, including wall-mounted units , 360° ceiling cassettes , or even floor-mounted models to fit architectural constraints.

• Faster HVAC Installation : For large-scale commercial projects in Montreal, Laval, or the North Shore, the modularity of the Lennox VRF reduces deployment time. Our technicians don't have to install large ducts for air distribution, as everything relies on refrigerant circulation.

• Simpler HVAC Maintenance : With fewer moving mechanical components than a traditional air system, the risk of breakdown is reduced and preventative maintenance becomes less complex.

Maintenance tips and lessons learned

During our interventions, we noted certain points to watch out for:

• Regular cleaning of indoor units : Filters should be changed or washed periodically to maintain good air quality and avoid clogging.

• Annual refrigerant check : Even if the system is airtight, it is still essential to check the refrigerant level. A small leak can cause a significant drop in performance.

• Inspect outdoor coils : In Montreal and Laval, where pollution and road salt can accumulate, annual cleaning protects the performance of the heat exchanger.

• Schedule fall maintenance : To ensure a trouble-free winter start, it's a good idea to have your unit inspected before the cold weather sets in.

Special case: optimizing performance with Wi-Fi access

The Lennox Cold Climate VRF Varix Extreme | 16 Tons comes with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity (or can be easily integrated depending on the configuration). In a recent rental building on the South Shore, we leveraged this feature to automatically detect unoccupied areas. The owner receives alerts on their interface and can limit the cooling or heating in these spaces, reducing the overall energy bill by approximately 20% over the year.

Regulatory aspects and available subsidies

• Federal Grant : Depending on the timing and nature of the project, the Canadian government sometimes offers equipment grants to encourage energy efficiency.

• Provincial subsidy : In Quebec, the energy transition is supported by various incentive programs. Certain conditions apply depending on the location (Montreal, Laval, Longueuil) and the type of building.

• Compliance with noise and environmental standards : With a noise level of 61 dB(A), this system complies with most municipal regulatory frameworks. In addition, the use of R-410A refrigerant remains compliant with current standards.

Profitability and return on investment

Upgrading to a high-performance VRF system can be more expensive upfront than more conventional equipment, but the return on investment is often faster. In addition to the ease of use and autonomy of each zone, reduced HVAC maintenance and reduced energy consumption help reduce operational costs. On average, for a commercial building with an area of ​​1,500 to 2,000 m², we have seen a return on investment of between 5 and 8 years, depending on insulation, occupancy, and the level of maintenance applied.

To conclude

If you're looking for an HVAC system that can handle the challenges of our Quebec winters while ensuring optimal performance in the summer, the Lennox Cold Climate VRF Varix Extreme | 16 Tons | Parts by Samsung will meet your expectations. Its advanced technical features, ultra-low temperature heating capacity, and numerous indoor unit options make it a wise choice for anyone looking for a high level of comfort and advanced control over their energy bills.
