High-Performance Multi-Zone Solution for Constant Comfort in Montreal, Laval, and the South Shore

At AirGreen, we regularly install multi-zone HVAC systems tailored to Quebec's climatic realities. The DIRECT AIR DA25 (48,000 BTU) 4-head heat pump represents a strategic solution for homeowners who want to air condition and heat multiple rooms with a single outdoor system, while maintaining excellent energy efficiency.

This model is designed to meet the needs of single-family homes, plexes, and modern condos in areas like Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore, where temperature variations demand reliable performance down to -25°C.


Real Performance in Quebec's Climate: What We See on the Ground

Reliable Heating Down to -25°C

This heat pump's heating capacity reaches -25°C, which is essential for Quebec's harsh winters. During our installations in areas like Boucherville or Laval-des-Rapides, we have observed that this model maintains stable performance even during prolonged periods of cold.

According to technical data from the manufacturer's brochure, Direct Air systems operate in an extended range from -25°C to 30°C for heating and up to 50°C for air conditioning. This confirms their adaptability to local seasonal extremes.

Capacity and Smart Distribution

  • Total Capacity: 48,000 BTU
  • Up to 4 independent zones (expandable to 5)
  • Compatible with several indoor units (9K, 12K, 18K, 24K)

Concretely, this allows to serve:

  • A main living room
  • 2 to 3 bedrooms
  • An office or finished basement

Each zone can be controlled individually, reducing unnecessary energy consumption.


A Well-Thought-Out Multi-Zone Installation: AirGreen Expertise

Real Installation Example in Longueuil

We recently installed this model in a house in Longueuil (Saint-Hubert sector). The client wanted to air condition:

  • 3 upstairs bedrooms
  • 1 open-plan area on the ground floor

Challenges encountered:

  • Significant distance between units
  • Aesthetic constraints (condo with visible facade)

AirGreen Solution:

  • Optimized duct routing (fewer losses)
  • Use of discreet pipe covers
  • Load balancing according to the multi-zone rule (0.66 to 1.33 of total capacity)

Result:

  • Uniform comfort throughout the house
  • Significant reduction in energy costs from the first season

Detailed Technical Specifications

Energy Efficiency

  • SEER2: 123.430
  • HSPF2: 18.715
  • EER2: 112.520
  • ENERGY STAR® certified

These performances ensure optimized consumption, particularly for summer air conditioning in Montreal.

Heating Performance

  • Power at -8°C: 34,000 BTU
  • Power at -15°C: 33,000 BTU
  • COP at -8°C: 11.83

This level of performance reduces reliance on electric auxiliary systems.


Advanced Indoor Comfort and Integrated Technologies

Smart Air Distribution

  • Automatic vertical louvers
  • Automatic horizontal louvers
  • Louver position memory

This allows for homogeneous air diffusion, avoiding cold or overheated zones.

Key Features

Indoor units include:

  • Turbo mode for rapid cooling
  • Eco mode for energy savings
  • Motion and humidity sensor
  • "Follow me" function for personalized comfort
  • Self-cleaning and biofilter

These elements significantly improve indoor air quality, a crucial point in urban environments like Montreal.


Noise Level: An Often Underestimated Advantage

  • Indoor: as low as 22.5 dB(A)
  • Outdoor: approximately 64 dB(A)

During our installations in condos in Laval or Brossard, this low noise level is particularly appreciated, especially for bedrooms.


HVAC Installation: Common Mistakes to Avoid

At AirGreen, we have identified several common mistakes:

Incorrect Zone Sizing

Incorrect BTU calculation per room leads to:

  • Overconsumption
  • Thermal discomfort

Excessive Duct Length

Even if the system allows up to 80 meters of total piping, poor planning reduces efficiency.

Inadequate Unit Positioning

A poorly placed unit can:

  • Create dead zones
  • Reduce overall performance

We systematically correct these errors through a complete analysis before installation.
