DRA4H28M2A

Outdoor unit

One compressor for the whole house. It supplies up to 4 heads and modulates from 8,400 to 29,000 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.

29,000 BTU/h÷ 1,000 ×$120=$3,480

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 215359218). 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.

Trois zones pour un étage devenu invivable en canicule

Une maison ancestrale de Varennes se rénove pièce par pièce, sur des années : une chambre une saison, la salle de bain la suivante, le salon quand le budget suit. La canicule, elle, impose son propre calendrier. Quand l'étage devient impossible à occuper la nuit, la climatisation cesse d'être un projet parmi d'autres et passe en tête. La Thermopompe 3-Zones DURASTAR Sirius Heat | 28 000 BTU - R454B permet de traiter trois pièces d'un coup, sans réseau de conduits et sans toucher aux finis d'origine.

Ses cotes sont de 21,0 SEER2, 12,0 EER2 et 10,0 HSPF2. Le système est homologué ENERGY STAR avec la désignation climat froid sous l'ID ENERGY STAR 3621113, chauffe jusqu'à -30 °C et donne droit à une subvention LogisVert de 3 480 $.

Les chiffres du certificat

  • À -8 °C : 29 000 BTU/h, avec un COP de 2,15
  • À -15 °C : 27 000 BTU/h, avec un COP de 1,90
  • À -30 °C : 12 000 BTU/h, avec un COP de 1,10
  • Limite de chauffage inscrite : -30 °C

Ces données proviennent du certificat AHRI 215359218, publié par le NEEP. Les valeurs intérieures publiées, soit 418 PCM et 24 à 43 dB(A), sont celles de la tête que la fiche prend comme référence, et non celles de chacun des modèles raccordables.

L'été à l'étage, pièce par pièce

Dans une maison ancienne, l'étage chauffe par le toit et par les murs pignons, et l'air chaud monte sans jamais redescendre. Trois zones permettent de traiter les chambres séparément, avec une consigne par pièce plutôt qu'un réglage moyen imposé à tout le niveau. Une chambre inoccupée se ferme sans interrompre les deux autres, et la cote de 21,0 SEER2 se lit sur une saison complète : c'est le rendement moyen d'un été, pas la pointe d'une seule journée.

La subvention LogisVert de 3 480 $

Ce système figure sur la liste des thermopompes admissibles au programme LogisVert d'Hydro-Québec, avec 3 480 $ 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. Nous validons l'admissibilité avant la signature et préparons les pièces exigées ; la page subvention thermopompes efficaces d'Hydro-Québec en résume les conditions.

Une maison ancestrale : les contraintes qui commandent la pose

Des murs qui n'acceptent pas n'importe quelle percée

Maçonnerie pleine, lattis et plâtre, colombages irréguliers : dans une maison ancienne, le point de traversée se choisit après sondage, jamais au ruban à mesurer seul. Nos installations restent entièrement apparentes, sans travaux à l'intérieur des murs, ce qui évite d'ouvrir des finis que personne ne veut refaire, et un recouvrement de finition masque les sections visibles depuis la rue.

Trois têtes, une capacité commune

Le condenseur DRA4H28M2A porte trois zones puisant dans la même réserve : ce que consomme une chambre en pleine canicule n'est plus disponible pour les deux autres, d'où l'importance de dimensionner pièce par pièce. Les ensembles intérieurs compatibles publiés par DuraStar comprennent DRAS12F2A, DRAS16F2A, DRAM24F2A et DRADH0912F2A. Chaque tête reçoit son propre jeu de lignes frigorifiques depuis le condenseur, ce qui veut dire trois parcours à dessiner sur une façade ancienne.

L'alimentation et le condensat

La fiche inscrit 220 V, un MCA de 15 A et un disjoncteur de 15 A sur un circuit dédié ; nous refaisons le calcul de charge et confirmons le calibre avant la signature, car un panneau d'origine remis à neuf par étapes réserve parfois des surprises. Chaque tête doit aussi évacuer son condensat, par gravité quand la pente le permet et par pompe de relevage quand une chambre d'étage ne l'offre pas.

AirGreen, et l'entretien d'une installation apparente

Entreprise familiale depuis plus de quinze ans, nous desservons Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, la Rive-Nord et la Rive-Sud, avec les licences RBQ en ventilation, en réfrigération et en électricité. L'évaluation à domicile est gratuite et la soumission est remise par écrit. Les filtres des trois têtes se rincent aux deux semaines, et l'entretien CVAC annuel couvre les serpentins, l'écoulement du condensat et les raccords électriques : notre service de nettoyage s'en occupe si vous préférez le confier.

Planifiez votre estimation gratuite pour la Thermopompe 3-Zones DURASTAR Sirius Heat | 28 000 BTU - R454B. Nous sondons les murs avant de fixer les traversées, dimensionnons chaque chambre de l'étage et confirmons votre admissibilité à LogisVert.

Garantie : 10 ans sur le compresseur, 10 ans sur les pièces et 6 ans sur la main-d’œuvre, directement du distributeur.

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: 29,000 BTU/h at −8 °C, 27,000 at −15 °C.

How many heads can I connect?

Up to 4 on this outdoor unit. This product is configured for 3 heads.

How much is the LogisVert grant?

$3,480 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 3621113. 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 24 dB(A). Outdoors, 55 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.
