A High-Performance Multi-Zone HVAC Solution for Quebec's Harsh Winters
At AirGreen, we regularly install high-performance multi-zone systems to meet the specific needs of residences and multiplexes in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore. The DIRECT AIR HEAT XTREME PRO 48,000 BTU 3-zone heat pump clearly stands out for its ability to maintain reliable heating down to -35°C, while also offering stable air conditioning in the summer.
This model represents a strategic solution for homeowners looking to optimize their comfort in multiple rooms without installing several independent systems.
A Heat Pump Designed for Extreme Climatic Conditions
Heating Performance down to -35°C
In the Quebec context, low-temperature heating capacity is a decisive factor. This DIRECT AIR HEAT XTREME PRO model is specifically designed to operate efficiently down to -35°C, making it an ideal option for winters in Montreal and Montérégie.
According to technical documentation, these systems maintain stable heating capacity even at -15°C and -8°C, ensuring constant comfort in the serviced areas.
Certified Energy Efficiency
- ENERGY STAR® (Cold Climate): Yes
- SEER2: 21.5 (up to 25 depending on the series)
- HSPF2: up to 12
- COP at -8°C: 12.03
These values demonstrate high energy efficiency, which is essential for reducing electricity costs, especially with Hydro-Québec's rates.
Multi-Zone Configuration: Maximum Flexibility for Your Home
3-Zone System (expandable up to 5)
This model is designed to power 3 distinct zones, with a maximum capacity of up to 5 indoor units. This allows for:
- Heating and cooling multiple rooms independently
- Adjusting the temperature according to the use of each space
- Reducing overall energy consumption
Compatible Indoor Unit Types
The HEAT XTREME PRO series offers great flexibility:
- Wall-mounted units (most common)
- Consoles
- 4-way ceiling cassette units
- Ducted units
- Ceiling/floor units
This versatility is particularly useful in complex projects we undertake in Longueuil or Laval, where each room may require a different solution.
