When that furnace reaches the end of its life, replacing it with another electric furnace means renewing the same bill. The \u003cstrong\u003eCentral Heat Pump CONFORTO MHSD | 2 Tons - 24,000 BTU - R410A\u003c\/strong\u003e offers another path: the \u003cstrong\u003eMHAH124DACFC\u003c\/strong\u003e indoor unit takes the furnace's place and connects to the same ducts, while the \u003cstrong\u003eMHSD124DACFC\u003c\/strong\u003e outdoor unit draws heat from the outdoor air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe system shows \u003cstrong\u003e10.0 HSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e for seasonal heating, and \u003cstrong\u003e17.4 SEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e11.7 EER2\u003c\/strong\u003e for cooling.

It is also a common size for a two-storey semi-detached house in \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese examples are only indicative. A seventies bungalow whose walls were never re-insulated and a fully renovated bungalow do not have the same heat loss, even with the same floor area. The load calculation, which we do room by room during the visit, accounts for insulation, windows, orientation and the basement. That calculation confirms the size, not floor area alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat changes when the furnace gives way to a heat pump\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn electric furnace turns electricity into heat one for one: one kilowatt-hour used gives one kilowatt-hour of heat, a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 1. A heat pump moves heat from outdoors to indoors instead. Its \u003cstrong\u003evariable-speed\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003einverter\u003c\/strong\u003e) compressor adjusts its speed to demand, and the \u003cstrong\u003eR-410A\u003c\/strong\u003e refrigerant carries the heat captured outside to the indoor unit's coil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou feel the difference in the house too. The air coming out of the registers is less hot than with a furnace, but it circulates longer and more evenly. No more blasts of very hot air followed by long pauses: the temperature stays steady from hour to hour and from room to room, provided the duct system is in good condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHeating in certified figures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt -8 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e (17 °F): \u003cstrong\u003e19,200 BTU\/h\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP of 2.50\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt -15 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e (5 °F): \u003cstrong\u003e22,600 BTU\/h\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP of 1.91\u003c\/strong\u003e, about 94% of the nominal size.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt -30 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cstrong\u003e13,400 BTU\/h\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP of 1.41\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe -8 °C and -15 °C points are measured separately; we report each one as published. These figures come from certificate \u003cstrong\u003eAHRI 216683749\u003c\/strong\u003e, published by NEEP. Even at -30 °C, the heat pump still delivers more heat than the electricity it uses, which no electric furnace can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe 10.0 HSPF2 rating and the other ratings\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a home moving away from an electric furnace, the first rating to look at is \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e: it measures efficiency over the whole heating season, accounting for mild days, cold days and defrost. At \u003cstrong\u003e10.0 HSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e, this system turns each kilowatt-hour into far more heat than a furnace would over a full winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe cooling ratings complete the picture: \u003cstrong\u003e17.4 SEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e for efficiency over a typical summer, and \u003cstrong\u003e11.7 EER2\u003c\/strong\u003e for full-load efficiency on a hot day. All three ratings are measured under standardized protocols, which makes it possible to compare systems from different brands on the same basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe MHAH124DACFC indoor unit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eMHAH124DACFC\u003c\/strong\u003e air handler contains the indoor coil and the blower that pushes air through the duct system. It is installed where the furnace stood, usually in the basement, and connects to the existing supply plenum and air return. Its condensate drain is routed to a floor drain or a pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuring deep cold, backup heat usually comes from electric heating elements housed in the indoor unit. The difference from the old furnace is that these elements now only serve as a supplement, when the heat pump is no longer enough. We size them from the load calculation and set the thermostat so they only come on when needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCentral air conditioning as a bonus\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA home that only had a furnace gains central air conditioning at the same time. In summer, the system cools every room served by the ducts, bedrooms included, with no window units. The compressor slows down once the set point is reached, which keeps the air cool without short cycles and removes moisture over the hours, a real advantage on heavy July days.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn an open-plan main floor, cool air spreads easily; in closed bedrooms, the air return makes the difference. We check it before proposing the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe $2,304 LogisVert grant\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe system is listed in Hydro-Québec's \u003cstrong\u003eLogisVert\u003c\/strong\u003e program, with \u003cstrong\u003e$2,304\u003c\/strong\u003e for the owner of an existing home, according to the list in effect on the installation date.

During the visit, we examine the main ducts and branches, the condition of the joints, the number and location of the registers, the air return and the filter location. A crushed duct in a basement ceiling, an undersized return or leaky joints are enough to leave a bedroom without heat. When a correction is needed, it is included in the quote, before signing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe job, step by step\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the load calculation and the written quote, the installation begins by disconnecting and removing the electric furnace. The air handler takes its place and connects to the plenum, the air return and the drain. Outside, the outdoor unit is mounted on a wall bracket or a stand, \u003cstrong\u003eabove the snow line\u003c\/strong\u003e, away from roof drip and walkways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe insulated copper line set then links the two units; we braze the joints, perform the pressure test and pull a vacuum before opening the valves. The electrical connection is made on a \u003cstrong\u003ededicated circuit\u003c\/strong\u003e, with an outdoor disconnect, and the thermostat is replaced or wired in.
