HVAC Installation: What You Absolutely Need to Know
A multi-zone installation requires real expertise
Unlike simple systems, a multi-zone installation requires rigorous planning.
According to manufacturer rules:
- The total capacity of indoor units must fall within a specific range
- Overload can lead to a loss of heating performance
- Poor BTU distribution can unbalance zones
At AirGreen, we have corrected several poorly configured installations by other companies in Laval and Longueuil, where:
- The indoor units were oversized
- Piping lengths were not optimized
- Sound levels were poorly managed
Concrete Example of an Error to Avoid
A client in Repentigny (North Shore) had a poorly configured multi-zone system:
- 5 indoor units totaling more capacity than the outdoor unit
- Result: insufficient heating in winter
After our intervention:
- Rebalancing of zones
- Capacity adjustment
- Airflow optimization
The client noticed an immediate improvement in comfort and a reduction in their energy bill.
