A high-performance multi-zone solution for Quebec's climate realities

At AirGreen, we install HVAC systems daily that are adapted to the demanding climatic conditions of Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore. The DIRECT AIR DA25 3-head heat pump (-25°C) with an outdoor unit of 48,000 BTU fits perfectly into this reality: a reliable multi-zone solution, capable of heating efficiently even during the most rigorous Quebec winters.

This system can power up to 3 distinct zones, while offering impressive flexibility that can extend up to 5 zones maximum, depending on the chosen configuration. This capability is particularly sought after in intergenerational homes, duplexes, or properties with multiple floors.


Real performance in heating and air conditioning

Capacity adapted to modern residential needs

The DIRECT AIR DA25 heat pump offers a cooling capacity of 48,000 BTU and a heating capacity maintained down to -25°C, making it a solid choice for homes in Greater Montreal.

In a recent project in Boucherville (South Shore), we installed this model in an open-plan house with three main zones:

  • Main living room (18,000 BTU)
  • Master bedroom (12,000 BTU)
  • Finished basement (18,000 BTU)

Result: a stable temperature throughout the house, without overloading the system, even during a cold snap reaching -22°C.

Optimized energy efficiency

  • SEER2: 23.43
  • HSPF2: 18.71
  • EER2: 11.25
  • COP at -8°C: 11.83

These performances ensure an excellent balance between comfort and energy consumption, which concretely translates into savings on electricity bills.

According to the official brochure, some models in the series can achieve up to 23.5 SEER and 11.5 HSPF, confirming their overall efficiency.


Smart multi-zone technology: flexibility and control

Uniform air distribution thanks to automatic louvers

An often underestimated advantage: the system integrates automatic vertical and horizontal directional louvers. This allows for homogeneous air diffusion in each room, eliminating cold or overheated zones.

In several installations in Laval, we have observed that this system significantly improves comfort in enclosed spaces, especially bedrooms.

Compatibility with several types of indoor units

The DA25 series allows for great installation freedom:

  • Wall-mounted units
  • Consoles
  • 4-way ceiling cassettes
  • Ducted units
  • Floor/ceiling

This means that we can adapt each project according to the building's architecture, without compromising on aesthetics or performance.

As indicated in the technical documentation, all indoor units are compatible with single and multi-zone configurations.


HVAC Installation: AirGreen's field expertise

Concrete example: triplex in Montreal

We recently installed this system in a triplex in Montreal East. The main challenges were:

  • Restricted spaces for ducts
  • Need for independent air conditioning per floor
  • Minimal noise required

Solution implemented:

  • One DIRM-48DA25-5Z outdoor unit
  • Three strategically positioned wall-mounted units
  • Reinforced acoustic insulation

Result:

  • Indoor sound level as low as 22.5 dB(A)
  • Uniform thermal comfort
  • Installation completed in one day

Advanced features for optimal comfort

Smart options and automation

  • Optional WiFi (Google and Alexa compatible)
  • "Follow Me" function to adjust temperature based on your location
  • Motion and humidity sensor
  • Integrated self-cleaning
  • Turbo and eco modes

These features allow for precise control and intelligent management of your HVAC system.

Reliability and durability

DIRECT AIR systems are designed to high quality standards, offering increased reliability and a long lifespan.


Multi-zone installation: rules to follow (AirGreen expertise)

A crucial technical point often overlooked:

The total capacity of the indoor units must be within a range of 66% and 133% of the outdoor capacity.

In several cases, we have corrected poorly sized installations carried out by other contractors. A bad combination can lead to:

  • Loss of heating performance
  • Inefficient operating cycle
  • Premature compressor wear

At AirGreen, each project is precisely calculated to avoid these errors.


Grant and profitability

LogisVert Program

This heat pump is eligible for a $1,700 subsidy, which significantly improves the return on investment.
