DRA3H28M1A

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).

03 · How it works

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.

04 · My plan

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.

09 · LogisVert grant

A grant you can calculate, not guess.

25,600 BTU/h÷ 1,000 ×$120=$3,072

The capacity at −8 °C comes from Hydro-Québec’s list of October 1, 2026. $120 per 1,000 BTU/h is the rate for ENERGY STAR cold-climate heat pumps (guide v1.10).

Set for this system (AHRI 210568214). Another head combination (ducted, console) can change the AHRI number, and so the amount.
Cap: the grant never exceeds 100 % of the purchase and installation cost before taxes.
9 months after installation to apply; +5 % when two measures are in the same request.

Everything we have written about this system.

Un plex en copropriété : choisir un 3-zones qui entre dans le règlement de l'immeuble

Un plex d'Ahuntsic passé en copropriété divisée vit avec un règlement, et ce règlement évolue : le conseil d'administration encadre désormais l'emplacement des unités extérieures, leur bruit et la façon dont les lignes longent la façade. Le propriétaire qui occupe le rez-de-chaussée choisit donc un appareil qui entre dans ces règles avant d'en comparer les cotes. La Thermopompe 3-Zones DURASTAR Sirius Heat | 28 000 BTU - R410A est celle que nous proposons le plus souvent dans cette situation, parce qu'un seul condenseur suffit pour trois pièces.

Ses cotes sont de 22,6 SEER2, 11,8 EER2 et 9,8 HSPF2. Le système est homologué ENERGY STAR avec la désignation climat froid sous l'ID ENERGY STAR 2410635, chauffe jusqu'à -30 °C et donne droit à une subvention LogisVert de 3 072 $.

Les capacités portées au certificat

  • À -8 °C : 25 600 BTU/h, avec un COP de 2,30
  • À -15 °C : 25 000 BTU/h, avec un COP de 1,80
  • Limite de chauffage inscrite : -30 °C
  • Unité extérieure : 63 dB(A)

Ces chiffres sont ceux du certificat AHRI 210568214, tels que publiés par le NEEP. L'écart entre les deux paliers est mince : le système garde 25 000 BTU/h quand le froid s'installe, c'est-à-dire au moment où un rez-de-chaussée pris entre le sous-sol et l'étage demande le plus.

Ce que la série Sirius Heat apporte à ce format

La série Sirius Heat est inscrite en chauffage jusqu'à -30 °C et porte la désignation climat froid, ce qui la distingue d'un appareil pensé d'abord pour la climatisation : sur trois zones, la capacité reste utile en janvier plutôt qu'en pointe d'été. Si le relevé montre que trois pièces demandent davantage, la Thermopompe 3-Zones DURASTAR Sirius Heat | 36 000 BTU - R410A reprend la même série dans un format supérieur, et nous comparons les deux sur les pièces réelles.

La subvention LogisVert de 3 072 $

Le système figure sur la liste d'Hydro-Québec avec une aide de 3 072 $ pour un propriétaire d'une habitation existante, selon la liste en vigueur à la date d'installation. Une aide bonifiée s'applique à certains immeubles à logements multiples, ce qui concerne directement un plex. Nous validons l'admissibilité avant la signature et rassemblons les pièces du dossier ; la page subvention thermopompes efficaces d'Hydro-Québec détaille les conditions.

Reprendre l'existant dans un plex d'Ahuntsic

Ce qui se réutilise, et ce qui ne se réutilise pas

Un plex a souvent déjà porté un appareil : perçages, support et parfois lignes frigorifiques sont en place. Les lignes existantes ne se reprennent que si leur diamètre correspond à la tête retenue, nettoyage et essai d'étanchéité compris. Surtout, trois zones veulent dire trois jeux de lignes distincts : on ne repique pas deux têtes sur un même parcours, et un ancien passage unique ne suffit pas.

Trois zones sur un condenseur, dans les règles de l'immeuble

Le condenseur DRA3H28M1A dessert trois zones qui se partagent sa capacité, ce qui impose de répartir les besoins entre le salon, la chambre et la pièce arrière avant de retenir les formats. DuraStar publie les ensembles intérieurs compatibles, dont DRAS12F1A, DRAL18F1A, DRAC09F1A et DRAD12F1A. Chaque tête reste indépendante à l'usage : couper la zone d'une chambre d'amis ne prive pas les deux autres pièces, ce qui compte quand un seul appareil extérieur est autorisé par logement.

Le circuit dédié de 40 A

L'alimentation est de 220 V, avec un MCA de 25 A et un disjoncteur de 40 A sur un circuit dédié. Dans un plex, chaque logement a son panneau, et une entrée de 100 A chargée par des plinthes et un chauffe-eau laisse peu de marge. Le calcul de charge précède la proposition, et toute mise à niveau est chiffrée avant la signature.

AirGreen, avec le conseil d'administration dans la boucle

Entreprise familiale depuis plus de quinze ans, nous travaillons à Montréal, à Laval, à Longueuil, sur la Rive-Nord et sur la Rive-Sud, avec les licences RBQ en ventilation, en réfrigération et en électricité et une assurance responsabilité de 5 000 000 $. Nous remettons par écrit ce qu'un syndicat demande : emplacement, valeur sonore publiée, parcours des lignes. Nos réalisations comprennent plusieurs plex où l'autorisation a précédé le chantier.

Demandez votre estimation gratuite pour la Thermopompe 3-Zones DURASTAR Sirius Heat | 28 000 BTU - R410A. Nous préparons le dossier destiné au conseil d'administration, vérifions ce qui est réutilisable et confirmons la subvention LogisVert avant la signature.

18 · Questions

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: 25,600 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?

$3,072 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 2410635. It also meets the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient criteria, according to the ENERGY STAR database.

Down to what temperature does it heat?

Down to −30 °C.

Is it noisy?

Indoors, the reference head goes down to 36 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. AirGreen extended warranty: possible.
