A VRF system adapted to the requirements of Quebec At AirGreen, we have found that residential and commercial buildings in Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , the North Shore and the South Shore need HVAC solutions capable of withstanding harsh winters while providing optimal comfort. The Lennox VRF Varix Extreme Cold Climate | 20 Tons | Parts by Samsung addresses this issue precisely by guaranteeing 100% heating capacity down to -22°F (-30°C). This system is distinguished by optimized heating cycles, intelligent refrigerant management and a design designed to maximize energy savings.
Our technicians at AirGreen often find that large buildings, such as some multi-unit residential complexes or commercial establishments, have multiple zones with varying thermal requirements. Thanks to VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) technology, each zone can receive the exact amount of heating or cooling needed, without wasting or overusing energy. This approach is particularly beneficial in situations where insulation varies from one section of the building to another.
The 20-ton (240,000 BTU) model is part of the Varix Extreme range, designed for efficient performance in extreme cold conditions. This configuration allows for heating or cooling up to 41 separate zones while maintaining an outdoor noise level of approximately 61.5 dB(A). For a building or shopping center, such flexibility significantly simplifies comfort distribution and reduces maintenance costs, thanks to fewer mechanical parts compared to a conventional ductwork system.
Lennox's Varix Extreme Cold Climate solution uses flash-injection compressor technology that optimizes performance in extreme conditions. When the temperature drops below -20°C, the compressor adjusts the refrigerant flow to maintain stable heating throughout the rooms. In the greater Montreal area, where temperatures regularly drop below this level, this system ensures a comfortable and safe interior even during the coldest times of the year.
Thanks to Samsung parts , the system benefits from robust electronics and advanced control features, including built-in Wi-Fi. The supported indoor units include different formats (4-WAY CASSETTE 2 X 2, CEILING/FLOOR MOUNT, WALL MOUNT, among others) to adapt to various architectural configurations, whether it is a modern condo or an open-plan commercial office.
AirGreen Optimization, Maintenance, and Expertise AirGreen doesn't just offer HVAC installation. We also guide each building owner or manager in choosing the right equipment and in good HVAC maintenance practices. Purchasing a VRF system is a long-term investment, and it's essential to schedule regular monitoring to maintain optimal energy efficiency.
We recommend that owners establish a maintenance schedule that includes:
-
Inspection of pipes and outdoor unit : check the tightness of the refrigerant circuit, the condition of the electrical components and the cleanliness of the condenser.
-
Cleaning or replacing filters : whether on the indoor units (cassettes, ducts) or the central control mode, an exchange of clean air ensures better efficiency and extends the life of the components.
-
Firmware Update and WiFi Settings Check : Since the Varix Extreme VRF has a smart control module, staying up-to-date on software patches can prevent many issues.
-
Balancing zones : In buildings where the layout of the rooms is not uniform, it may be necessary to adjust the flow distribution to avoid heat loss.
Several clients have reported increased comfort and lower energy bills after installing a Lennox Varix Extreme system. In a condo complex in Longueuil , we managed a project to replace an old central heating system. The owners were looking for a solution that would standardize the cooling and heating in each of their units. The VRF resulted in substantial savings because only the heat or cooling required by each unit is delivered, rather than a uniform distribution that is often oversized in certain areas.
To take full advantage of the efficiency of the Lennox VRF Varix Extreme Cold Weather | 20 Tons | Parts by Samsung , AirGreen ensures careful installation, taking into account the following elements:
-
Detailed thermal analysis : before installation, we carry out an energy assessment to determine the correct sizing.
-
Structural Inspection : The 20-ton load is equivalent to 240,000 BTUs of cooling. The outdoor unit has dimensions of (51 x 30.13 x 66.75) x 3, which requires a solid foundation and sufficient space for adequate ventilation.
-
Electrical Coordination : The device operates at 460V, and includes built-in safety devices to prevent power surges.
-
Warranty Tracking : The compressor and parts have a 10-year warranty, providing our customers with a guarantee of reliability. An extended warranty option of up to 10 years for labor is also available, providing additional peace of mind.
When it comes to energy consumption, VRF systems achieve high SEER efficiencies. In this case, the Varix Extreme is a cost-effective solution for any organization looking to reduce its environmental impact. Furthermore, the R-410A refrigerant complies with current environmental standards.
AirGreen uses concrete examples to demonstrate the reliability of this product. At a company's administrative center on the North Shore , the commissioning of a Lennox VRF Varix Extreme Climat Froid 20-tonne significantly improved employee productivity due to improved thermal comfort. The system was divided into 30 zones, each of which could be adjusted independently. Managers quickly noticed a decrease in complaints related to ambient temperature.
From an integration perspective, Samsung components contribute to smoother interoperability with different control protocols. Control interfaces can include individual thermostats, room sensors for centralized control, or mobile applications thanks to Wi-Fi connectivity. This flexibility of use aligns with the diverse needs of modern buildings.
Scalable and flexible technology VRF systems are suitable for large commercial spaces as well as multi-family homes where installing an extensive ductwork network would be costly and complex. In addition, the ability to modulate refrigerant flow allows for adaptation to changes in occupancy. In a mixed-use building, for example, some areas (offices, common areas, retail spaces) may require more heating, while other spaces require cooling simultaneously.
Over time, if the building undergoes modifications (addition of new partitions, expansion), VRF technology allows for reconfiguration or addition of indoor units, as long as the overall system capacity is not exceeded. At AirGreen, we supported a hotel owner in Montreal who wanted to renovate an entire floor to transform it into coworking spaces. The adaptability of VRF made it possible to adjust the air distribution without major structural changes or disruption to the hotel's operations.
Compared to a traditional centralized system, preventive maintenance plays a crucial role in extending the lifespan of the VRF. Most of our customers subscribe to a periodic maintenance program, including an annual or biannual visit, depending on the intensity of use. This allows for early detection of any anomalies, such as potential refrigerant leaks or an emerging electronic problem. During interventions, our technicians use genuine parts to preserve the integrity of the system, especially with Samsung components that guarantee uncompromising compatibility and performance.
The Importance of Professional Service At AirGreen, we understand that installing HVAC equipment like this requires extensive knowledge of refrigeration, electricity, and automation. Every job site is unique, which is why we begin with a personalized consultation. For example, when installing the Lennox VRF Varix Extreme Climat Froid | 20 Tons in Laval , we identified the need to integrate a more responsive defrost mode to compensate for the strong winter winds on the building's north facade.
Our goal: to offer a tailor-made, reliable and sustainable solution. For a large part of the buildings in Longueuil and on the South Shore , the VRF concept proves very practical in meeting the various criteria of federal and provincial grant programs encouraging energy efficiency. Indeed, the Varix Extreme Climat Froid is compatible with various grants since its configuration and performance align with energy consumption reduction objectives.
In addition to providing superior thermal comfort, this equipment is part of an eco-responsible approach. The savings are reflected not only in electricity bills, but also in the reduction of the building's overall carbon footprint. From an economic perspective, internal case studies often show a return on investment that can range between 5 and 10 years, depending on usage intensity, electricity costs, and the initial condition of the HVAC infrastructure.
