A discrete and high-performance solution for modern spaces in Montreal and its surroundings
In the field of HVAC in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore, certain configurations demand solutions that are powerful, aesthetic, and seamlessly integrated into the architecture. The FORESTAIR E24 | 24,000 BTU ceiling cassette heat pump precisely meets this need by combining energy performance, uniform air distribution, and discreet installation.
At AirGreen, we regularly install this type of equipment in high-end condos, professional offices, commercial establishments, and multi-unit dwellings, where space optimization and thermal comfort are essential.
Why choose a ceiling cassette heat pump?
Unlike traditional wall-mounted units, a ceiling cassette integrates directly into a false ceiling, offering:
- A uniform 360° air distribution
- A minimalist aesthetic without wall obstruction
- An ideal performance for large open spaces
- A reduction of cold or hot spots
In several projects carried out in Boucherville, Laval, and downtown Montreal, we have observed that clients seeking a high-end finish prefer this type of solution.
Technical specifications of the FORESTAIR E24
The FORESTAIR E24 is a ceiling cassette heat pump designed to offer an optimal balance between power, efficiency, and reliability.
Performance and capacity
- Cooling capacity: 24,000 BTU
- Heating capacity down to -25°C
- Power at -15°C: 19,100 BTU
- Power at -8°C: 22,000 BTU
This heating performance makes it a perfectly suitable choice for the Quebec climate, especially for properties located on the North Shore and South Shore, where winter temperatures can be severe.
Energy efficiency
- SEER2: 12.53
- HSPF2: 10.41
- EER2: 11.72
- COP at -8°C: 12.03
These indicators demonstrate excellent energy efficiency, allowing for reduced electricity costs while maintaining constant comfort.
Moreover, this unit is certified:
- ENERGY STAR®
- ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate
Which makes it eligible for significant subsidies, notably the LogisVert program (up to $2640).
Eco-friendly refrigerant
- Gas: R-454B
R-454B is a new generation refrigerant with a reduced environmental impact compared to older gases. At AirGreen, we always prioritize solutions aligned with current environmental standards.
Dimensions and integration
- Indoor unit: 33.08 x 33.08 x 9.64 inches
- Cassette panel: 36.8 x 36.8 inches
- Weight: approximately 24 kg
According to the manufacturer's technical data, this unit is designed to be easily integrated into standard ceilings, with a structure optimized for commercial and residential installations.
Sound level and comfort
- Indoor: 39 to 46 dB(A)
- Outdoor: 54 dB(A)
This sound level is particularly valuable in sensitive environments such as:
- Offices
- Bedrooms
- Meeting rooms
During a recent installation in Longueuil in a professional office, the client immediately noticed the difference with their old noisy central system.
Airflow and distribution
- Airflow: up to 1882 CFM
Thanks to its multiple diffusion angles, the cassette allows for homogeneous air circulation throughout the room. The technical document also mentions a wide range of blowing angles, which significantly improves comfort.
Advanced features
The FORESTAIR E24 includes several elements that facilitate its use and maintenance:
- Easy-access washable filter
- Integrated drain pump (47 inches lift)
- Water overflow protection
- Optional WiFi
These features simplify HVAC maintenance and reduce the risk of common condensation-related problems.
Installation: AirGreen's field expertise
Concrete example in Montreal
We recently installed this unit in a renovated condo in the Plateau Mont-Royal. The client wanted to:
- Avoid a visible wall unit
- Optimize space
- Maintain uniform comfort in an open space
Challenges encountered:
- Limited ceiling height
- Restricted access for duct passage
- Coordination with finishing work
AirGreen Solution:
- Perfect integration into the existing false ceiling
- Precise positioning adjustment for optimal diffusion
- Quick installation with impeccable finish
Result: an invisible, silent, and extremely efficient solution.
Key points to consider before installation
At AirGreen, we systematically analyze:
- The ceiling structure
- The available space for the unit
- The refrigerant line routing (1/4 - 1/2 inch)
- The electrical supply (220V, MCA 17A, MOP 25A)
Poor planning can lead to:
- Additional costs
- Loss of efficiency
- Drainage problems
Maintenance and durability
A ceiling cassette heat pump requires regular maintenance to maintain its performance:
Recommended maintenance
- Filter cleaning every 3 to 6 months
- Annual inspection by an HVAC professional
- Drainage system check
At AirGreen, we offer HVAC maintenance programs in Montreal and its surroundings to extend the lifespan of your equipment.
Common mistakes to avoid
Through our installations, we have identified several common mistakes:
- Choosing insufficient capacity (undersizing)
- Neglecting installation quality
- Ignoring ceiling constraints
- Installing without planning for maintenance access
A client in Laval had initially chosen a wall-mounted unit before consulting us. After analysis, the cassette proved to be much more suitable for their open space.
