A \u003cstrong\u003ecentral heat pump\u003c\/strong\u003e connected to the existing \u003cstrong\u003educts\u003c\/strong\u003e can heat and cool that level along with the rest of the house, with a single thermostat. The \u003cstrong\u003eCentral Heat Pump ARCOAIRE HSH6 Premium | 2.5 Tons - 30,000 BTU (Air Handler FJMA4X) - R410A\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs the \u003cstrong\u003eHSH630GKA\u003c\/strong\u003e outdoor unit with the \u003cstrong\u003eFJMA4X30L0BB\u003c\/strong\u003e cabinet, which pushes air through the duct system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pairing from Arcoaire's premium series handles the cooling of every room served and most of the home's heating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFor a good-sized family home\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e2.5-ton\u003c\/strong\u003e size is meant for roomy homes that already have ducts: a two-storey house with a finished basement, an enlarged bungalow, a detached house whose electric furnace and central air conditioner are reaching the end of their life. It is a size that covers several levels, provided the duct system distributes air well to each one. A single cabinet, a single thermostat and a single outdoor unit then serve the basement, the main floor and the bedrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe exact size is confirmed with a room-by-room \u003cstrong\u003eload calculation\u003c\/strong\u003e. Insulation of the foundation walls, often overlooked, counts as much as the attic's. An older house with uninsulated foundations may need more; a recent house may do with the size below.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe finished basement: heat, coolness and humidity\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA basement behaves differently from the upper floors. In winter, it is surrounded by cold ground and tends to stay cooler; in summer, it naturally stays cooler than the rest of the house, but the air there is often more humid. A properly set central system takes both realities into account.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn winter\u003c\/strong\u003e, the basement must get enough warm air, through grilles placed low, near the exterior walls.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn summer\u003c\/strong\u003e, it needs little cooling; a balancing damper reduces the cool air sent there and directs it upstairs.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll year\u003c\/strong\u003e, a return in the basement brings that level's air to the cabinet, where it is filtered and, in summer, dried by the coil.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe check these points during the visit. If a grille or a return is missing in the basement, the correction appears in the quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe HSH6 pairing and the FJMA4X cabinet\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHSH630GKA\u003c\/strong\u003e outdoor unit holds the compressor, the outdoor coil and its fan. The \u003cstrong\u003eFJMA4X30L0BB\u003c\/strong\u003e cabinet is an \u003cstrong\u003eair handler\u003c\/strong\u003e: it houses the indoor coil, the blower that pushes air through the ducts and the \u003cstrong\u003ebackup electric heating elements\u003c\/strong\u003e. It takes the place of the old electric furnace, usually in the basement, and connects to the existing plenum and return air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two units are linked by an insulated copper refrigerant line and run on \u003cstrong\u003eR-410A\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is this exact pairing that carries the certificate described below; we install it as is.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat the certificate shows\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pairing of the \u003cstrong\u003eHSH630GKA\u003c\/strong\u003e outdoor unit and the \u003cstrong\u003eFJMA4X30L0BB\u003c\/strong\u003e indoor unit carries certificate \u003cstrong\u003eAHRI 210448426\u003c\/strong\u003e, issued under the former test procedure, the one that came before SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings. Its ratings do not compare directly with the SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings of recent equipment, so we do not mix them. We confirm the ratings that apply to the installed system during the visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you compare this system with others, do it on the same basis: we put the options side by side during the visit, and the written quote lists the exact models of both units.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow the heat pump heats the house\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA heat pump moves heat instead of producing it. In winter, the refrigerant captures heat from the outdoor air in the outdoor unit; the compressor concentrates it; the cabinet's coil releases it to the air that the blower distributes through the ducts. In summer, a reversing valve turns the cycle around and the heat of the house is released outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe air coming out of the grilles is warm rather than very hot, and the system runs longer at a time than an electric furnace. Heat arrives more gently and more evenly across the levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWinter and the backup heat\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike any conventional heat pump, this one supplies less heat as the cold intensifies, while the house asks for more. In deep cold, the cabinet's backup elements take over the missing share, then switch off when the heat pump is enough again. The thermostat, designed for a heat pump with backup, manages this handover.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn a house of this size, the backup is a significant electrical load. We size it from the load calculation and the capacity of the electrical panel, and list it in the quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere the outdoor unit goes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe outdoor unit runs all winter, and its location matters as much as its connection. We set it on a stand or a wall bracket, above the snow line, so that air flows freely through the coil and defrost water drains without forming ice beneath it. We avoid roof drips, corners where snow piles up, dryer vents and, as far as possible, bedroom windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccess matters too: the unit must stay clear for annual maintenance. Some municipalities regulate the distance from property lines; we take this into account when choosing the location.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLogisVert\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pairing does not carry an amount on Hydro-Québec's \u003cstrong\u003eLogisVert\u003c\/strong\u003e list of October 19, 2026.

Before the quote, we check duct sizes and the air return, because a central heat pump only delivers its full efficiency if the airflow keeps up. We also check the electrical panel's capacity for the outdoor unit's \u003cstrong\u003ededicated circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e and for the cabinet's backup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe job\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRemoval\u003c\/strong\u003e of the old furnace and the old air conditioner, with recovery of the refrigerant.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation of the FJMA4X cabinet\u003c\/strong\u003e, connection to the plenum and return air, condensate drain to a floor drain or a pump.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation of the outdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e at the chosen location, on a stand or a bracket.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefrigerant line\u003c\/strong\u003e in insulated copper, brazing, pressure test and vacuum.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectrical\u003c\/strong\u003e: dedicated circuit, outdoor disconnect, power to the backup and thermostat.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCommissioning\u003c\/strong\u003e: refrigerant charge, airflow, defrost, balancing between the basement and the upper floors, then an explanation of how everything works.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaintenance and warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the filter every month in season and replace it according to its format.
