High-Performance Ducted Solution for Discreet and Constant Comfort
At AirGreen, we regularly install horizontal ducted systems for clients seeking uniform comfort without compromising aesthetics. The DIRECT AIR HEAT XTREME PRO 12000 BTU Ducted Heat Pump stands out as a particularly suitable solution for modern residences in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore, especially when wall space is limited or visual integration is a priority.
Unlike classic wall-mounted units, this heat pump is concealed in ceilings or false ceilings, distributing air via a network of ducts. The result: homogeneous, silent, and invisible diffusion.
Exceptional Heating Performance Down to -35°C
One of the most impressive aspects of this model is its ability to maintain effective heating even during harsh Quebec winters.
- Heating capacity down to -35°C
- Advanced inverter technology
- ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate certification
- Stable performance even in extreme conditions
In our field experience, particularly during an installation in Boucherville last January, this model allowed for the replacement of a costly electric system while significantly reducing energy consumption. The client observed an immediate improvement in comfort, with constant heat in all rooms.
