A Multi-Zone HVAC Solution Designed for Quebec's Extreme Winters
In the demanding climate of Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore, choosing a heat pump capable of maintaining high heating performance down to -35°C is not a luxury, but a necessity. At AirGreen, we have installed several DIRECT AIR HEAT XTREME PRO systems in residences and multi-unit buildings, and this 2-zone 48,000 BTU model stands out as a reliable, high-performance, and cost-effective solution.
This multi-zone heat pump can power two distinct areas with a single outdoor unit, while maintaining flexibility for up to 5 zones maximum as needs evolve.

Concrete Example of an AirGreen Installation
In Boucherville (South Shore), we recently installed this model in a multi-generational home. The client wanted:
- Stable temperature in the main dwelling
- Independent control for the basement
Thanks to the 2-zone configuration, we installed:
- An 18,000 BTU wall-mounted unit on the ground floor
- A 12,000 BTU wall-mounted unit in the basement
Result: a 32% reduction in heating bills from the first winter, while maintaining constant comfort, even during cold snaps.
Multi-zone Flexibility: An Evolving and Smart Solution
Configuration and Combination Rules
The DIRECT AIR multi-zone system allows different indoor units (wall-mounted, consoles, ceiling cassettes, etc.) to be connected. An essential rule to follow:
- Total indoor capacity = between 66% and 133% of outdoor capacity
This optimizes overall performance without overloading the compressor.
Compatible Unit Types
- Classic wall-mounted units (most commonly installed in Montreal)
- Wall-mounted consoles for basements
- 4-way ceiling cassettes for open spaces
- Ducted units for more complex projects
At AirGreen, we always recommend a personalized analysis to choose the ideal combination based on the building's surface area and configuration.
Advanced Comfort: More Than Just Heating and Cooling
Smart Air Distribution
This model offers automatic control:
- Vertical vanes: Auto
- Horizontal vanes: Auto
This ensures uniform air distribution, preventing cold or hot spots.
Integrated Technologies
Indoor units include:
- Automatic restart
- Automatic defrost
- 24h timer
- Humidity sensor
- "Follow me" function
- Self-cleaning
- Motion sensor
These features allow for intelligent comfort management, particularly useful in modern homes in Laval and Longueuil.
HVAC Installation: What Our Clients Absolutely Need to Know
AirGreen Standard Installation
When installing this 2-zone heat pump, we typically include:
- Up to 15 feet of refrigerant tubing

Common Mistakes to Avoid
After several hundred HVAC installations, we often observe:
- Undersizing of indoor units
- Incorrect positioning of wall-mounted units
- Ignoring building heat losses
In Montreal, where temperature variations are significant, incorrect configuration can considerably reduce system performance.
Noise Level and Acoustic Comfort
- Indoor: 28 to 41 dB(A) (very quiet)

During a recent project in Laval, a client was replacing an old noisy heat pump. After installing the DIRECT AIR model:
- Significant reduction in outdoor noise
- Improved indoor comfort, especially at night
