Indoor heads
One head per room, each with its own remote and temperature. The combination is chosen in the “Zones” menu.
Control
Each zone is set separately.

The power of performance serving Quebec comfort
At AirGreen , we believe that a heating and air conditioning system must do much more than simply regulate the temperature: it must create a stable, healthy and pleasant living environment throughout the year, regardless of the harshness of the Quebec climate.
This is precisely what the CANAIR 4C28 - R454B | 2-Zone - 36,000 BTU Outdoor heat pump brilliantly accomplishes.
Designed specifically for the needs of homes and businesses in Greater Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , as well as the North and South Shores , this heat pump is a concentrate of innovation and performance. It combines cutting-edge technology, exemplary robustness and unparalleled energy efficiency, all supported by Quebec reliability and know-how.
Cutting-edge technology: perfect control thanks to the Inverter
The CANAIR 4C28 series is based on advanced Inverter technology , an intelligent system that adapts the compressor power in real time according to the needs of the room. Unlike older fixed-cycle models, the Inverter continuously adjusts the motor's power frequency, thus maintaining a stable temperature without wasting energy.
This smooth operation offers several concrete advantages :
-
Up to 30% energy savings compared to conventional models;
-
Unparalleled temperature stability , without unpleasant jolts or drafts;
-
Low noise level , ideal for bedrooms, offices or relaxation areas;
-
Increased longevity thanks to more balanced use of the compressor;
-
Instant responsiveness , allowing you to reach the desired temperature in just a few minutes.
This precise indoor climate control transforms your daily life, providing a tailored comfort experience, whether you are at home, in an office or in a business.
A performance that defies the Quebec cold
With a heating capacity down to -30°C , the CANAIR 4C28 heat pump was designed for Quebec winters. Icy days and snowstorms are no longer an obstacle: it continues to provide constant and pleasant heat, without losing efficiency.
The numbers speak for themselves:
-
36,000 BTUs of power to efficiently heat two main areas of a home (e.g., a living room and a master bedroom).
-
23.0 SEER2 in air conditioning, energy efficiency higher than the majority of models on the market.
-
10.7 HSPF2 in heating, guaranteeing reduced consumption even in very cold weather.
-
13.0 EER2 for excellent cooling efficiency.
The result: balanced performance, controlled consumption and an uninterrupted comfort experience, summer and winter.
Choosing R-454B refrigerant: an ecological breakthrough
In a context where energy sustainability is a key priority, the CANAIR 4C28 adopts the new R-454B refrigerant, successor to R-410A. This innovative refrigerant reduces the environmental impact on global warming by almost 80% .
By choosing this model, you are making a concrete gesture for the planet , without sacrificing performance:
-
Increased efficiency through better heat transfer;
-
Lower ecological impact , with reduced global warming potential;
-
Full compliance with new Canadian and North American environmental standards .

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: 38,000 BTU/h at −8 °C, 36,000 at −15 °C and 22,400 at −30 °C.
How many heads can I connect?
Up to 5 on this outdoor unit. This product is configured for 2 heads.
Can I mix head sizes?
Yes. The “Zones” menu offers 12 combinations, from 6+24 to 24+24 (in thousands of BTU). Each head is sized for its room.
How much is the LogisVert grant?
$4,560 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 3712089. 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. At −30 °C, it still delivers 22,400 BTU/h with a COP of 1.47.
Is it noisy?
Indoors, the reference head goes down to 19.5 dB(A). Outdoors, 65 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; labour is not included by the manufacturer. AirGreen extended warranty: possible.
A multi-zone system is planned room by room. At your home.
We measure every room, draw the line route and choose the right head for each zone. The on-site estimate is free and the quote arrives within 24 h.
