A revolution in energy efficiency for Quebec's climate: AirGreen's expertise at the service of your comfort
Given the harsh winters in Montreal, the North Shore, and the South Shore, choosing an heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is not just a simple transaction, it's an investment in sustainability. At AirGreen, we have seen hundreds of homeowners in Laval and Longueuil seeking the perfect balance between thermal performance and energy savings. The 3-ton ForestAir E-TECH+ series represents exactly that point of balance.
Designed to meet the industry's strictest standards, this central heat pump stands out for its ability to maintain consistent warmth even when the mercury drops drastically. By integrating cutting-edge technologies such as the ECM motor and R-454B refrigerant, this system not only ensures your well-being but also protects the environment while reducing your electricity bills.
Technical features that redefine performance
The installation of a 36,000 BTU system demands impeccable technical precision. Here's why the FA-H36-VKCE model is an elite choice for Quebec residences:
Indoor Unit: Robustness and Versatility
The indoor unit (FA-H36-VKCE/AH-454) is the heart of your air distribution. Its modular design allows for exceptional adaptation to your home's configuration:
-
Multi-position installation: Cabinets are shipped for vertical airflow application, but are field-convertible for horizontal airflow (left or right) or downflow (counterflow).
-
5-speed ECM motor: This intelligent fan adjusts air volume (up to 1229 CFM) to optimize comfort and reduce noise.
-
High-quality insulation: The use of aluminum-faced insulation prevents fibers from entering the air stream and minimizes energy losses through the cabinet.
-
A-coil evaporator: Specifically designed for low static pressure loss and superior moisture extraction (3.31 L/hr).
Outdoor Unit: The power for extreme cold
The outdoor unit (FA-H36-VKCE/OD-454) is built to withstand the worst storms:
-
Heating operating range: Capable of operating efficiently from -25°C to 24°C, ensuring a reliable heat source during the coldest nights in the Montérégie.
-
Twin Rotary Compressor: Advanced technology for precise power modulation, offering a capacity range of 13,000 to 38,000 BTU/hr in cooling.
-
Quiet operation: With a sound pressure level of only 56 dB(A), it operates unnoticed, thus complying with the strictest municipal noise regulations in Montreal.
Energy Efficiency and LogisVert Subsidies
In the current context, efficiency is no longer an option. The ForestAir E-TECH+ displays impressive ratings that make it eligible for major financial incentives.
Performance Analysis (SEER2 and HSPF2 Ratings)
-
SEER2 of 18.0: A measure of seasonal cooling efficiency that places this system among the best performing in its category.
-
HSPF2 of 9.0: Guarantees economical heating throughout the winter season.
-
COP2 of 3.60: At a temperature of 8°C (47°F), the system produces 3.6 times more thermal energy than it consumes electricity.
Provincial LogisVert Subsidy
Thanks to its ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate certification, this model allows homeowners to benefit from a LogisVert subsidy of up to $3,432 (based on November 2025 updates). At AirGreen, we assist you with the administrative procedures to maximize your return on investment.
Professional Installation: AirGreen's Commitment
A high-performing heat pump is only as good as the quality of its installation. Our certified refrigeration technicians apply rigorous standards for every project in Laval, Longueuil, or on the North Shore:
-
R-454B Refrigerant Management: This new refrigerant with low global warming potential (GWP) requires specific expertise for handling and charging (factory charge of 3.4 kg).
-
Duct Configuration: We ensure that the nominal external static pressure of 125 Pa (0.5 in.W.C) is met to guarantee optimal airflow in each room.
-
Electrical Protection: We install appropriately sized circuit breakers (MOCP of 35A) and verify the minimum circuit ampacity (MCA of 32A) for complete safety.
