A central heat pump designed for the climatic and built realities of Quebec

At AirGreen , we have been installing, maintaining, and analyzing central heat pump systems for over fifteen years in Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , and on the North and South Shores. This field experience directly influences how we evaluate a product like the CANAIR R410A | 60000 BTU Central Heat Pump – Cased Coil : not just based on a technical specification sheet, but on its actual performance once installed, operated, and subjected to Quebec winters.

This 5-tonne (60,000 BTU) model is clearly aimed at medium to large buildings: spacious single-family homes, duplexes and triplexes, multi-unit residential buildings, light commercial buildings, and small institutional properties. It is primarily intended for owners seeking a reliable central solution capable of providing stable heating and cooling without requiring a complete overhaul of the existing HVAC system.

The ADD ON positioning: a pragmatic approach to central HVAC

The ADD ON concept is not insignificant. In practice, it addresses a very common problem we encounter at AirGreen: buildings equipped with a functional duct network, sometimes combined with an electric furnace or an aging central system, but still mechanically viable.

Rather than demolishing everything, the CANAIR 60,000 BTU ADD-ON Central Heat Pump allows you to add a high-performance heat pump to an existing building, while drastically improving its overall energy efficiency. This approach is particularly relevant in Montreal and Laval , where many buildings were constructed with robust but energy-inefficient central heating and cooling systems.

Performance data adapted to intense cold

From a technical point of view, this system is based on a proven combination between an outdoor unit CDH2060C22 and an indoor cased coil MAC-60HWFN1-M , forming a coherent and certified unit.

The advertised performance figures correspond to real-world operating conditions:

• Nominal capacity: 60,000 BTU (5 tonnes)

• Functional heating down to -30°C

• Maintaining high power output at -15°C , where many central systems experience a sharp drop in temperature.

• Available power at -15°C: approximately 46,500 BTU

• Power at -8°C: approximately 37,000 BTU

• SEER2: 14.53 , providing efficient air conditioning during the summer months

• HSPF2 around 8.5 , consistent for a core system of this capacity

• R-410A refrigerant , known for its stability and longevity in central applications

These characteristics explain why this model is often chosen in projects where auxiliary electric heating should be used as little as possible, without being eliminated.

Mechanical design conceived for actual installation

Side-discharge outdoor unit: a tangible advantage in the field

The side discharge configuration is not just an aesthetic choice. In practice, it greatly facilitates integration into constrained environments: narrow backyards in Montreal , side passages in dense urban areas, commercial rooftop terraces on the South Shore , or installations near outdoor living spaces.

The benefits observed during our AirGreen installations include:

• Better management of available space

• A reduction in constraints related to clearances

• A controlled external noise level, measured at approximately 64 dB(A) for this model

• Easier installation on an existing base or slab

This flexibility is often crucial in replacement projects, where the location of the old unit imposes certain limitations.

Enclosed internal coil: stability and durability

The internal coil with its housing plays a key role in the long-term reliability of the system. Constructed from hydrophilic aluminum, it offers superior resistance to internal corrosion caused by humidity, airborne contaminants, and significant temperature variations.

In several projects carried out by AirGreen in Longueuil and on the North Shore , this type of coil has enabled:

• To retain existing conduits without major modification

• To simplify periodic HVAC maintenance

• To limit yield losses due to fouling

The housing also facilitates inspection and eventual replacement of components, which is particularly appreciated in multi-unit residential buildings where accessibility is sometimes limited.

HVAC installation: requirements, realities, and mistakes to avoid

Electrical and mechanical parameters to be respected

The CANAIR ADD-ON 60000 BTU Central Heat Pump operates on a 220–230 V power supply, with:

• Minimum ampacity (MCA): 40 A

• Maximum protection (MOP): 50 A

• Refrigerant piping 3/8 – 7/8

• Maximum duct length up to 213 feet

• Allowable height difference of up to 98 feet

These parameters offer a wide range of installation options, particularly in multi-story buildings or commercial properties where the mechanical room is far from the outdoor unit.

Problems frequently observed with inadequate installations

In our experience, performance issues are rarely related to the equipment itself. The most common causes are:

• An inaccurate calculation of thermal load

• Insufficient or unbalanced airflow

• Poor coordination between the heat pump and the auxiliary heating system

• Undersized conduits for a 5-tonne capacity

At AirGreen , every central heat pump project includes a complete validation of the ductwork, airflow (CFM) and electrical parameters to avoid these costly mistakes.

Concrete examples of AirGreen installations

Single-family residence – Boucherville, South Shore

In a residence of over 3,200 sq ft , the client wanted to replace an energy-inefficient central system while keeping the existing ductwork. The installation of the CANAIR ADD-ON 60,000 BTU system allowed for:

• A significant reduction in electricity consumption during the mid-season

• Better heat distribution on the upper floor

• A smooth transition between heat pump and electric heating during periods of extreme cold.

Light commercial building – Laval

In an office space with fluctuating occupancy, this system demonstrated excellent thermal stability. The modulating technology prevents aggressive cycling, improving occupant comfort while limiting peak energy consumption.

HVAC maintenance and long-term operation

This model is designed for simplified HVAC maintenance , an aspect often underestimated when purchasing:

• Direct access to internal components

• Modular, removable coil

• Constant flow ECM engine, promoting better seasonal efficiency

At AirGreen, we recommend a complete service every 12 to 18 months , particularly to preserve performance in winter heating and extend the life of the compressor.

Investment guarantee and protection

The standard warranty includes:

• 10 years on the compressor

• 10-year warranty on parts

• No default labor warranty , with the possibility of adding

We systematically assist our clients in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore and South Shore in choosing additional protection adapted to the actual use of the building and the holding period of the property.

Why entrust this type of project to AirGreen?

Choosing AirGreen for the installation of a CANAIR central heat pump means:

• Proven expertise in central HVAC installation

• Certified and experienced refrigeration technicians

• An approach based on real data, precise calculations, and feedback from the field

We favour systems that we know are capable of delivering stable performance over several years, not just during the first few seasons.

Conclusion

The CANAIR R410A ADD-ON Central Heat Pump | 60,000 BTU – Cased Coil represents a coherent, durable solution perfectly suited to Quebec's climate. When properly sized and installed, it offers an excellent balance between comfort, energy efficiency, and longevity.
