The living room is used in the evening, the office during the day, the children's rooms go to bed early, the main bedroom later. The \u003cstrong\u003e5-Zone Heat Pump ARCOAIRE DLCMHB | 48,000 BTU - R410A\u003c\/strong\u003e gives five of these rooms a \u003cstrong\u003ewall head\u003c\/strong\u003e and a set point of their own, all connected to a single \u003cstrong\u003eDLCMHBH48EAK condenser\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003e4-ton\u003c\/strong\u003e condenser serves \u003cstrong\u003e5 zones\u003c\/strong\u003e here, which is its maximum of 5. The wall heads intended for it are the \u003cstrong\u003eDLFSHCH09XAK\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eDLFSHCH12XAK\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eDLFSHCH24XAK\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its certified ratings are \u003cstrong\u003e21.2 SEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e11.0 EER2\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e10.0 HSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e. The system is \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR\u003c\/strong\u003e certified with the \u003cstrong\u003ecold-climate designation\u003c\/strong\u003e under \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR ID 2410134\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it qualifies for a \u003cstrong\u003e$4,680 LogisVert grant\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEvery room in a family home\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis size targets a house where five rooms need to be handled separately: the living space on the ground floor, the main bedroom, two children's rooms and an office, for example. It also suits a large bungalow with a finished basement, where the family room and a guest room are added to the ground-floor rooms. Each closed room gets its own head; none depends on heat coming through the hallway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result depends on the building envelope. In a well-insulated house, the five heads carry most of the heating and all of the cooling. In an older house, we calculate the load of each room and the share left to the \u003cstrong\u003eelectric baseboards\u003c\/strong\u003e, and we write it into the quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFive heads, one capacity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe five heads share the condenser's capacity. In practice, the five rooms rarely reach full demand at the same moment: the office quiets down when the bedrooms wake up, and a guest room often stays closed. That is what allows a single condenser to serve five rooms. On the coldest nights, however, every zone calls at once; that is the moment our load calculation checks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice of heads follows the actual size of the rooms. The \u003cstrong\u003eDLFSHCH24XAK\u003c\/strong\u003e, the largest of the intended heads, goes in the living space. The \u003cstrong\u003eDLFSHCH12XAK\u003c\/strong\u003e suits the main bedroom or an exposed room, the \u003cstrong\u003eDLFSHCH09XAK\u003c\/strong\u003e the children's rooms and the office. Oversizing a head in a small room brings nothing: it reaches its set point too quickly, stops often and removes less moisture. With 5 zones out of a maximum of 5, every connection on the condenser is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe five line routes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach head is connected to the condenser by its own \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant line set\u003c\/strong\u003e, communication cable and \u003cstrong\u003edrain\u003c\/strong\u003e. Five zones therefore means five holes and five routes to plan. We group them as much as possible in one or two painted line covers that follow the lines of the facade, and go indoors when a closet, the attic or the basement ceiling allows it. You see each route before the first hole is drilled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe condenser is placed where the total length of the routes is shortest, above the snow line, on a stand or a sturdy bracket, away from snow sliding off the roof and from bedroom windows. It is connected to a \u003cstrong\u003ededicated circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e, and we check the panel's space and capacity during the visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWinter: what the certificate shows\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe certificate lists \u003cstrong\u003e39,000 BTU\/h at -8 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e (17 °F), with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP of 2.50\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003e45,000 BTU\/h at -15 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e (5 °F), with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP of 2.00\u003c\/strong\u003e. The maximum published capacity is \u003cstrong\u003e45,000 BTU\/h at -15 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e. The two points are measured separately; we report each one as published.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt -15 °C, the five heads therefore share 94% of the condenser's nominal size, and each kilowatt-hour consumed returns two kilowatt-hours of heat, where a baseboard returns one. ENERGY STAR's \u003cstrong\u003ecold-climate designation\u003c\/strong\u003e confirms that the combination meets the low-temperature performance criteria.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe certificate does not publish a colder point. The existing baseboards therefore stay in place as backup, set slightly below the heads' set point; they serve during extreme cold and \u003cstrong\u003edefrost cycles\u003c\/strong\u003e, those few minutes when the condenser melts the frost off its coil and lets out a cloud of vapour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese figures come from certificate \u003cstrong\u003eAHRI 207642999\u003c\/strong\u003e, published by NEEP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe inverter compressor with five zones\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe more zones there are, the more modulation matters. When a single small bedroom needs a little heat, the \u003cstrong\u003einverter compressor\u003c\/strong\u003e runs slowly and meters just enough \u003cstrong\u003eR-410A refrigerant\u003c\/strong\u003e for it. When the whole house calls, it speeds up. In between, it follows demand without repeated starts, which keeps temperatures steady and spares the equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe five heads always work in the same mode, heating or cooling, as on any multi-zone system of this type. Shutting off an unoccupied zone leaves the other four running normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCooling and humidity throughout the house\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn cooling, the system is built around a nominal size of \u003cstrong\u003e48,000 BTU\/h\u003c\/strong\u003e for the five zones. Each bedroom is set for the night without cooling the living room, and the office is cooled during the day without touching the empty bedrooms. Extended low-speed operation removes moisture from the air; each head also offers a dehumidification mode for muggy days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe certified ratings, in plain terms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e10.0 HSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e: heating efficiency over the whole cold season, the rating that weighs most on the bill in Quebec.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e21.2 SEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e: cooling efficiency over a whole summer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e11.0 EER2\u003c\/strong\u003e: cooling at full load, in hot weather.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e: the ratio between heat delivered and electricity consumed at a specific temperature, here 2.50 at -8 °C and 2.00 at -15 °C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe $4,680 LogisVert grant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system is listed in Hydro-Québec's \u003cstrong\u003eLogisVert\u003c\/strong\u003e program, with \u003cstrong\u003e$4,680\u003c\/strong\u003e for the owner of an existing home, according to the list in effect on the installation date.
