A Multizone HVAC Solution Designed for Quebec's Demanding Climate
At AirGreen, we daily install HVAC systems tailored to the climatic realities of Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore. The DIRECT AIR HEAT XTREME PRO (-35°C) 2-zone heat pump stands out as a reliable solution for properties requiring precise control of two distinct spaces, while maintaining stable performance even during harsh winters.
This model, featuring an 18,000 BTU outdoor unit, allows for the connection of two wall-mounted indoor units (6,000, 9,000, or 12,000 BTU), offering true flexibility for multi-story homes, condos, or duplexes.
Extreme Performance Down to -35°C: An Essential Criterion in Quebec
Advanced Heating Capacity for the Canadian Winter
The main strength of this heat pump lies in its ability to maintain efficient performance down to -35°C, a critical threshold for installations in Montérégie, Laval, or on the North Shore.
Unlike many standard models that rapidly lose efficiency below -15°C, this system:
- Still provides 15,000 BTU at -8°C
- Can reach up to 19,700 BTU at -15°C
- Maintains thermal stability even during long cold spells
According to the manufacturer's technical specifications, the Heat Xtreme Pro series is specifically designed to operate within a range of -35°C to 30°C for heating, making it a perfectly suited option for the Quebec climate.
Energy Efficiency and Certifications
This model is certified:
- ENERGY STAR®
- ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate
- AHRI: 207743785
With solid performance:
- SEER2: 22+ (up to 25 depending on the series)
- HSPF2: 19.815
- COP at -8°C: 1.93
This means real savings on energy bills, especially for homeowners replacing traditional electric heating.
2-Zone Configuration: Flexibility and Personalized Comfort
Smart Heat and Air Conditioning Distribution
A 2-zone heat pump allows independent control of two distinct spaces:
- Master bedroom + living room
- Ground floor + upstairs
- Office + living area
Each indoor unit can be adjusted according to specific needs, avoiding energy losses associated with uniform heating.
Combination Rules and Optimization
The system adheres to precise capacity rules to ensure optimal performance:
- Total indoor capacity between 66% and 133% of outdoor capacity
- Common example installed by AirGreen:
- 1 x 12,000 BTU + 1 x 9,000 BTU on an 18,000 BTU unit
In our installations in Longueuil and Boucherville, this configuration is frequently used to maximize comfort without oversizing the system.
