A reliable multi-zone solution for Quebec's extreme winters
At AirGreen, every year we install dozens of multi-zone HVAC systems across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore, but certain models clearly stand out in the field. The DIRECT AIR HEAT XTREME PRO (-35°C) 2-zone heat pump is one of those systems we recommend in very specific situations: open-concept homes, duplexes, multi-story condos, or renovation projects requiring two independent zones.
This 27,000 BTU outdoor model, combined with two indoor wall-mounted units, offers remarkable performance even when temperatures drop drastically. It's a solution designed for the Quebec climate, and we have tested it under real conditions across several installations.
Actual heating performance down to -35°C: what we observed
One of the most important factors for our clients is heating capacity in winter. This model boasts an operating capacity down to -35°C, placing it among the most reliable systems for harsh winters.
According to the technical data:
- Heating operation: -35°C to 30°C
- Nominal capacity: 27,000 BTU
- Power at -15°C: 25,000 BTU
- COP at -8°C: 3.83+ (depending on conditions)
In a project completed in Boucherville (South Shore), we installed this system for a two-story house with average insulation. Even on days at -27°C, both zones maintained a stable temperature without needing auxiliary heating.
What this means for the client:
- Significant reduction in electric heating costs
- Stable comfort in multiple zones
- Less reliance on electric baseboards
2-zone configuration: maximum flexibility for your space
The DIRM-28HXPRO28-3Z model allows for up to 3 zones, but in its 2-zone version, it is particularly efficient and balanced.
Concrete examples of AirGreen installations:
- Montreal (Plateau Mont-Royal): living room + master bedroom
- Laval: ground floor + finished basement
- Longueuil: open concept + closed office
The multi-zone combination rule indicated in the documentation specifies that the total indoor capacity must remain between 66% and 133% of the outdoor capacity. This ensures optimal operation.
At AirGreen, we always perform a precise calculation to avoid common errors:
Errors to avoid:
- Oversizing indoor units
- Mixing incompatible power levels
- Neglecting duct length
Energy efficiency and real savings
This system is ENERGY STAR® (Cold Climate) certified, making it eligible for subsidies like LogisVert ($3192).
Key indicators:
- SEER2: 23+
- HSPF2: 11+
- EER2: 12+
According to technical data, models can reach up to SEER 25 and HSPF 12, which is excellent for a multi-zone system.
Real case:
In Laval, a client replaced two old wall-mounted air conditioners with this system. Result:
- 28% reduction in annual electricity bill
- Better air distribution
- Less noise
Advanced indoor comfort: more than just heating and cooling
This model doesn't just heat and cool. It integrates several features that we particularly appreciate during our installations.
Key functions:
- Automatic vertical and horizontal louvers
- Louver position memory
- Motion sensor
- "Follow Me" mode
- Self-cleaning
- Integrated biofilter
- Humidity sensor
These elements significantly improve daily comfort.
Field example:
In Saint-Bruno (South Shore), a client complained about cold spots with their old system. After installation:
- Better air distribution thanks to automatic louvers
- Uniform temperature throughout the room
- Noticeable improvement in nighttime comfort
