DRA6H55M2A

Outdoor unit

One compressor for the whole house. It supplies up to 6 heads and modulates from 20,000 to 48,000 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.

48,000 BTU/h÷ 1,000 ×$120=$5,760

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 215415535). 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 COP de 2,60 à -8 °C : ce que trois zones coûtent réellement à faire tourner

Dans un cottage de Greenfield Park, les chambres exposées au nord restent fraîches même quand le thermostat du couloir affiche la bonne température, et la seule réponse disponible consistait à monter le chauffage partout, donc à payer pour toute la maison afin de corriger deux pièces. La réfection de la toiture a réduit les pertes par le haut sans rien changer à ce déséquilibre. La Thermopompe 3-Zones DURASTAR Sirius Heat | 55 000 BTU - R454B le corrige autrement, en donnant une consigne propre à chacune des pièces concernées.

Ses cotes sont de 21,4 SEER2, 12,0 EER2 et 10,6 HSPF2. Le système est homologué ENERGY STAR avec la désignation climat froid sous l'ID ENERGY STAR 3624607, chauffe jusqu'à -30 °C et donne droit à une subvention LogisVert de 5 760 $.

Les capacités et les COP publiés

  • À -8 °C : 48 000 BTU/h, avec un COP de 2,60
  • À -15 °C : 48 000 BTU/h, avec un COP de 2,00
  • À -30 °C : 27 400 BTU/h, avec un COP de 1,43
  • Limite de chauffage inscrite : -30 °C

Ces valeurs proviennent du certificat AHRI 215415535, publié par le NEEP. Les cotes intérieures de la fiche, soit 418 PCM et 24 à 43 dB(A), valent pour la tête de référence retenue par DuraStar et non pour chacun des modèles raccordables.

Le coût d'exploitation, ramené au COP

Un COP de 2,60 veut dire que l'appareil livre 2,60 unités de chaleur pour chaque unité d'électricité consommée. Une plinthe électrique en rend une pour une, quelle que soit la température. À -8 °C, température ordinaire d'un mois de janvier sur la Rive-Sud, chauffer les chambres nord avec ce système coûte donc nettement moins que de les chauffer aux plinthes, et l'écart se creuse sur les milliers d'heures d'automne et de printemps où le rendement est encore meilleur.

La subvention LogisVert de 5 760 $

Le système figure sur la liste des thermopompes admissibles au programme LogisVert d'Hydro-Québec, avec 5 760 $ 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 confirmons l'admissibilité avant la signature et préparons la facture détaillée, les numéros de modèle intérieur et extérieur et la preuve de paiement.

L'ordre des travaux dans un cottage occupé

Le relevé, chambre par chambre, avant la commande

Les trois zones se partagent la capacité du condenseur DRA6H55M2A, ce qui oblige à relever les pièces ensemble : une chambre nord de bout de couloir ne demande pas ce que demande un salon plein sud, et les formats se choisissent à partir de ces écarts. DuraStar publie les ensembles intérieurs compatibles, dont DRAS16F2A, DRAM18F2A, DRAL18F2A et DRAC24F2A. Rien n'est commandé avant que cette répartition soit arrêtée avec vous.

La pose, une zone après l'autre

Dans une maison occupée, nous montons les têtes l'une après l'autre plutôt que d'ouvrir trois chantiers, et chaque tête reçoit son propre jeu de lignes jusqu'à l'unité extérieure. Celle-ci, de 31,69 x 12,99 x 21,81 pouces et mesurée à 55 dB(A), prend place sur un support ancré dans la structure, au-dessus de la ligne de neige. Les lignes demeurent entièrement apparentes, sans travaux à l'intérieur des murs, avec un recouvrement de finition sur les faces visibles.

Le circuit dédié et la mise en service

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 avec le panneau devant nous et confirmons le calibre avant la signature. Les zones sont ensuite démarrées séparément, et l'une se ferme sans arrêter les deux autres, ce qui est exactement le point recherché quand les chambres nord n'ont pas les mêmes besoins que le reste de la maison.

AirGreen, du calendrier jusqu'à l'entretien

Entreprise familiale depuis plus de quinze ans, nous couvrons Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, la Rive-Nord et la Rive-Sud, avec les licences RBQ en ventilation, en réfrigération et en électricité et une assurance responsabilité de 5 000 000 $. L'évaluation à domicile est gratuite et la soumission est remise par écrit. Nos options de financement permettent de garder les trois zones au programme, et notre service de nettoyage assure l'entretien CVAC annuel par la suite.

Réservez votre estimation gratuite pour la Thermopompe 3-Zones DURASTAR Sirius Heat | 55 000 BTU - R454B. Nous relevons chaque chambre nord, arrêtons l'ordre de pose avec vous et confirmons votre admissibilité à 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: 48,000 BTU/h at −8 °C, 48,000 at −15 °C.

How many heads can I connect?

Up to 6 on this outdoor unit. This product is configured for 3 heads.

How much is the LogisVert grant?

$5,760 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 3624607. 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.
