Peak Performance for Quebec's Climate: Energy Efficiency Redefined
At AirGreen, we understand that choosing a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is a major decision for any homeowner in Montreal, Laval, or on the South Shore. The ForestAir E-Tech+ 5-ton central heat pump is not just an air conditioning unit; it's a robust solution designed to meet the rigorous demands of our climate while optimizing your energy consumption.
This system, with AHRI code 217903148, stands out for its ability to maintain exceptional thermal comfort even when the thermometer drops. With a nominal power of 60,000 BTU, it is ideal for large residences or commercial spaces requiring precise temperature management.
Technical Features and Innovation
The E-Tech+ series incorporates commercial-grade components to ensure long-term durability. Here are the key specifications that make this model a market leader:
-
High-Efficiency ECM Motor: The indoor unit uses an ECM (Electronically Commutated Motor) with 5-speed adjustable ventilation, allowing for smooth and quiet airflow tailored to your actual needs.
-
Extreme Heating Performance: Unlike standard systems, this heat pump has a heating operating range down to -25°C, which is essential for winters in the North Shore and Montérégie regions.
-
Eco-Friendly R-454B Refrigerant: Ahead of environmental standards, this system uses R-454B fluid, significantly reducing the carbon footprint while offering excellent thermal transfer capacity.
-
Superior Insulation: The indoor unit's casing is equipped with foil-faced insulation, preventing fibers from entering the airflow and minimizing thermal energy losses.
Energy Efficiency and Substantial Savings
Investing in a ForestAir E-Tech+ heat pump means choosing efficiency. The system boasts a SEER2 of 16.7 and an HSPF2 of 9.0, guaranteeing reduced electricity bills throughout the year.
For our customers in Boucherville, Longueuil, and throughout Quebec, eligibility for government subsidies is a major asset. As of November 26, 2025, this model allows access to a provincial LogisVert subsidy of up to $6,360, making this cutting-edge technology more accessible than ever.
AirGreen Expertise: Professional Installation and Versatility
Installing a 5-ton system requires advanced technical expertise that our refrigeration technicians master perfectly. Whether you are in Laval or in the West Island of Montreal, we ensure that each duct is optimized for the impressive 1,831 CFM airflow of this unit.
Flexible Design for Every Building
One of the major advantages of the FA-H60-VKCE/AH-454 indoor unit is its configuration versatility. While it comes standard for upflow application, it can be field-converted for:
-
Right horizontal.
-
Left horizontal.
-
Downflow/counterflow.
This flexibility allows our teams to install the system in confined spaces, basements, or attics, without compromising performance.
Durability and Mechanical Reliability
The "A" coil construction is specifically designed to provide low static pressure drop and excellent dehumidification (moisture removal capacity of 11.18 pt/h). Furthermore, the drain pan is made of a corrosion-resistant composite material, capable of withstanding temperatures up to 180°C (approximately 400°F), thus ensuring structural integrity against the rigors of time.
Electrical Data for Rigorous Planning
Before any installation, we validate your electrical capabilities:
-
Voltage: 208-230V / 60Hz / 1 phase.
-
MCA (Minimum Circuit Amps): 50A.
-
MOCP (Maximum Overcurrent Protection): 60A.
