Outdoor unit
One compressor for the whole house. It supplies up to 3 heads and modulates from 8,400 to 27,200 BTU/h depending on what the rooms call for (NEEP).
Base pan heater
A heater keeps the outdoor unit’s base pan free of ice below 1 °C and during defrost (NEEP).
Refrigerant lines
One pair of lines per head.
Indoor heads
One head per room, each with its own remote and temperature. The combination is chosen in the “Zones” menu.
Control
Each zone is set separately.
Turn rooms on and off. Watch the power being shared.
One outdoor unit supplies every head: when several rooms call at once, they share its capacity. Pick an outdoor temperature.
Tell us your rooms. We tell you if this size is enough.
Pick the number of rooms and their size. The estimate targets a −15 °C day; it is a guide, the real calculation is done room by room at your home.

A multi-zone heat pump designed for Quebec's extreme winters
In the harsh climate of Quebec, where winter temperatures can drop well below -25°C, choosing an efficient HVAC heating and cooling system is never a trivial matter. At AirGreen, we regularly install the DIRECT AIR HEAT XTREME PRO 27000 BTU 3-zone heat pump, a system specifically designed to offer reliable performance down to -35°C, without compromising on comfort.
This multi-zone heat pump is aimed directly at homeowners, condo owners, or duplex owners in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore who wish to efficiently air condition and heat several rooms with a single outdoor unit.
An ideal triple-zone solution for modern homes
Multi-zone configuration: flexibility and optimization
The 3-zone (triple zone) configuration allows up to three distinct indoor units to be powered from a single outdoor unit. This means:
- Individual temperature control in each room
- Reduced installation costs compared to multiple single systems
- Less outdoor clutter
In our experience at AirGreen, this type of system is particularly popular in:
- Multi-story homes in Montreal
- Duplexes and triplexes in Longueuil
- Single-family homes on the North Shore and South Shore
Real-world AirGreen installation example
During a recent project in Boucherville, we installed this DIRECT AIR heat pump in a 2-story house:
- 1 indoor unit in the living room (12,000 BTU)
- 1 unit in the master bedroom (9,000 BTU)
- 1 unit in the finished basement (9,000 BTU)
Result: perfectly balanced temperature throughout the house, with a reduction of over 35% in winter energy costs.
Exceptional heating performance down to -35°C
Technology adapted to Quebec's climate
One of the most impressive features of this heat pump is its ability to maintain stable heating down to -35°C, placing it among the most efficient systems available on the market.
According to technical data:
- Nominal capacity: 27,000 BTU
- Capacity at -15°C: 25,000 BTU
- Capacity at -8°C: 26,600 BTU
- COP at -8°C: 11.83
These performances guarantee remarkable energy efficiency even during periods of extreme cold.
Energy efficiency and certifications
This system is also certified:
- ENERGY STAR®
- ENERGY STAR Cold Climate
- AHRI: 207743788
With performance such as:
- SEER2: 123.03
- HSPF2: 110.615
- EER2: 112.520
This concretely translates to:
- Significant savings on your bills
- Eligibility for subsidies like LogisVert (up to $3192)
Advanced comfort and smart technology
Intelligent air management
The indoor units are equipped with advanced features that significantly improve comfort:
- Automatic vertical and horizontal louvers
- Uniform air distribution throughout the room
- Louver position memory
- "Follow me" mode for dynamic adjustment
These elements help to avoid cold or hot spots, a common problem in poorly designed installations.
Integrated modern features
Among the important characteristics:
- Optional WiFi compatible with Google and Alexa
- Turbo mode for quick heating
- Eco mode to optimize consumption
- Humidity sensor for optimal comfort
- Self-cleaning units
According to technical documentation, the units also include:

Professional installation: a determining factor
Why installation makes all the difference
At AirGreen, we often find that even the best heat pumps can underperform if the installation is not done correctly.
For this specific model, several technical elements must be respected:
- Maximum piping length: up to 60 meters (197 feet)
- Maximum level difference: up to 25 meters
- Precise sizing of indoor units
A common error we often correct:
Installing indoor units that are too powerful or poorly distributed, which leads to a loss of efficiency in multi-zone mode.
Our AirGreen approach
For each project in Montreal, Laval, or Longueuil, we:
- Evaluate the actual heat load of each room
- Select the right unit combinations (6k, 9k, 12k, 18k)
- Optimize the refrigerant line routing
- Ensure clean installation in compliance with RBQ standards
Reliability, warranty, and peace of mind
Solid warranty
This heat pump offers:
- 10 years on the compressor
- 10 years on parts
- Standard labor (extension option available)
This is an essential element for customers seeking a long-term investment.

What people ask us about multi-zone systems.
Can I heat one room and cool another at the same time?
No. On a multi-zone system like this one, every head works in the same mode, heating or cooling. Each room still keeps its own set temperature.
What happens when every room calls for heat?
They share the outdoor unit’s capacity: 26,600 BTU/h at −8 °C, 25,000 at −15 °C.
How many heads can I connect?
Up to 3 on this outdoor unit. This product is configured for 3 heads.
How much is the LogisVert grant?
$3,192 according to Hydro-Québec’s list of October 1, 2026. The grant never exceeds 100 % of the cost before taxes; apply within 9 months of installation.
Is it ENERGY STAR certified?
Yes, cold climate, ID 2473884. It also meets the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient criteria, according to the ENERGY STAR database.
Down to what temperature does it heat?
Down to −35 °C.
Is it noisy?
Indoors, the reference head goes down to 28 dB(A). Outdoors, 63 dB(A): we place the unit away from bedroom windows.
Why a multi-zone instead of several wall units?
One outdoor unit on the wall and one circuit. In return, the rooms share the capacity, and if the outdoor unit stops, every zone stops.
What does the warranty cover?
Our sheet lists 10 years on the compressor and 10 years on parts; labour is not included by the manufacturer. AirGreen extended warranty: possible.
A multi-zone system is planned room by room. At your home.
We measure every room, draw the line route and choose the right head for each zone. The on-site estimate is free and the quote arrives within 24 h.
