Unfailing performance, even in the heart of Quebec winters
At AirGreen, we have been seeing for years a growing need for advanced HVAC solutions for large-scale commercial and residential projects in the greater Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , North Shore and South Shore areas. That's why we offer the Lennox Cold Climate VRF Varix Extreme | 22 Tons | Parts by Samsung , a technology designed to deliver exemplary heating and cooling performance, even in outdoor conditions as cold as -30°C. In this article, we present in detail this variable refrigerant flow (VRF) heat pump solution, its concrete advantages, its HVAC installation flexibility and the reasons why we have chosen to recommend it in Quebec.
A multi-zone HVAC solution adapted to the most demanding needs
Managing indoor comfort in multi-story buildings or commercial buildings with many rooms can quickly become a challenge. The idea of installing a single system capable of independently regulating the temperature in a large number of zones is therefore extremely attractive to building owners and managers. The Lennox Cold Climate VRF Varix Extreme leverages VRF technology to bring optimal thermal comfort to every corner while reducing overall energy consumption.
Key Benefits of the Lennox Cold Climate VRF Varix Extreme
-
Guaranteed heating even in extreme cold : Thanks to Lennox technology powered by Samsung internal parts, this 22-ton unit ensures heating capacity is maintained down to -30°C. In the Quebec context, this reliability is crucial to avoid any discomfort or damage related to frost.
-
Precise power modulation : Unlike conventional HVAC systems that often operate on an all-or-nothing basis, VRF technology continuously adjusts the amount of refrigerant. The compressor then varies its speed to deliver exactly the power required by each zone. This results in significant energy cost reductions.
-
Multiple Zones up to 45 : This version of VRF Varix Extreme can manage up to 45 independent zones, ideal for office buildings, condominiums, hotels and other buildings where each space needs to be heated or cooled in a specific way.
-
Adaptability to various types of indoor units : A wide range of indoor units (ceiling cassettes, wall-mounted, ducted, etc.) can be connected. These configurations adapt to different space and aesthetic constraints, making the system even more versatile.
-
Less noise, more comfort : HVAC installation based on a VRF system generates a very low noise level both indoors and outdoors, thanks to variable speed compressors and reduced forced air movement.
-
Simplified HVAC installation and maintenance : VRF architecture does not require traditional, wide ventilation ducts. It essentially distributes refrigerant through a thinner piping network. For maintenance work, access and troubleshooting are more straightforward, especially when you rely on AirGreen's expertise.

AirGreen Experience: Practical Case Studies
Our teams have already installed the Lennox Cold Climate VRF Varix Extreme | 22 Tons in various configurations throughout the greater Montreal , Laval and Longueuil areas. We share a few examples illustrating the benefits of this technology:
-
Office complex in downtown Montreal
-
The client wanted a centralized system to regulate air conditioning and heating across eight floors, each consisting of partitioned offices.
-
With the help of our HVAC engineers, we opted for the 22-ton Varix Extreme system, combining a heat recovery mode to benefit from the redistribution of energy from a cooling zone to a heating zone.
-
Result: Employees report consistent comfort year-round, while the owner enjoys energy bills reduced by approximately 20% compared to the old constant-flow system.
-
-
Residential condominium in Laval
-
The challenge was to ensure a consistent temperature across more than 30 housing units, while allowing each resident to individually control their space.
-
We installed a network of wall-mounted units and built-in cassettes connected to a single Lennox Cold Climate VRF Varix Extreme outdoor unit. The co-owners adopted this system for its flexibility and low noise level.
-
Feedback indicates fewer temperature fluctuations and better indoor air quality thanks to built-in filtration.
-
-
Neighborhood school on the South Shore
-
The school wanted to replace its old chilled water system, which was noisy and expensive to maintain. The architectural constraints were such that installing new ventilation ducts was virtually impossible.
-
VRF technology was chosen for its ease of deployment with small refrigerant lines. We installed several indoor units in ceilings and suspended ceilings.
-
The school now benefits from a calm and stable environment, essential for students' concentration.
-

Reduce your operational costs through heat recovery
One of the great advantages of VRF technology is its ability to recover heat. When some areas require cooling and others require heating, the heat extracted from one area can be redirected to another. At AirGreen, we've found that this heat recovery approach not only improves comfort, but also reduces overall energy consumption by 15 to 20 percent in some buildings, compared to traditional systems.
VRF System Maintenance Challenges and Best Practices
Although VRF technology is more economical and flexible, it is recommended to follow several best practices to ensure the longevity of your installation:
-
Regular cleaning of indoor filters : Indoor units (cassettes or wall-mounted) have filters that trap dust and allergens. Bi-monthly cleaning (or as recommended by the manufacturer) improves air quality and system efficiency.
-
Annual Refrigerant Charge Check : To maintain performance, we recommend a leak test and R-410A refrigerant level check by a qualified technician.
-
Heat Exchanger Inspection : On the outdoor unit, preventative maintenance reduces the risk of debris buildup and extends compressor life.
-
Controls Updates : VRF systems include advanced electronic controls. Software updates may be available to improve compressor responsiveness or multi-zone management.
A look at government subsidies and aid
As a Montreal -based company, we understand that energy efficiency is a priority for many homeowners. Provincial and federal grants and programs are regularly available to encourage the adoption of greener technologies. VRF heat pumps are often eligible. AirGreen can assist you in preparing your applications and provide guidance on current programs:
-
Federal grant : Assistance offered by Natural Resources Canada, depending on the specifics of energy savings.
-
Provincial subsidy : Additional assistance may be offered by local organizations or Hydro-Québec to promote the electrification of heating and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
