A discrete and high-performance HVAC solution for modern spaces in Montreal
In the field of residential and commercial HVAC in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore, some configurations require a solution that is compact, quiet, and highly efficient. The DIRECT AIR HEAT XTREME PRO ducted (horizontal) heat pump | 9000 BTU precisely meets these requirements, especially in condos, open-plan homes, or multi-unit projects where aesthetics and uniform air distribution are essential.
At AirGreen, we regularly install this type of equipment in environments where wall-mounted units are not ideal. This model stands out for its ability to operate efficiently even in Quebec's harsh climate conditions, while remaining discreet thanks to its concealed installation in ceilings.
Extreme thermal performance adapted to Quebec's climate
One of the key elements of this heat pump is its ability to maintain stable performance even in extreme conditions.
Heating down to -35°C: an essential criterion in Quebec
Unlike many standard systems, this model can operate in heating mode down to -35°C, making it perfectly suited for winters in Montreal, Laval, and Montérégie.
In our field experience, this feature makes a real difference. For example, during a recent installation in Boucherville, a client with a condo with suspended ceilings was looking for a discreet solution capable of replacing an inefficient electric system. After installing this ducted unit:
- Energy consumption significantly decreased
- Thermal comfort remained stable even during periods of intense cold
- Air distribution became much more uniform
Advanced energy efficiency
With performance reaching:
- High SEER2 (cooling efficiency)
- Efficient HSPF2 (seasonal heating)
- Optimized COP at low temperature
This system allows for a significant reduction in energy costs, especially compared to traditional electric baseboards.
Ducted design: discretion and superior comfort
Invisible installation, maximum comfort
Unlike visible wall-mounted units, this heat pump is designed to be installed in a ceiling or technical space, with air distribution via ducts.
This allows for:
- Perfect aesthetic integration
- Uniform air distribution in multiple rooms
- Reduced perceived noise in living spaces
At AirGreen, we particularly recommend this solution for:
- High-end condos in Montreal
- Renovated homes with suspended ceilings
- Professional offices requiring discretion and comfort
Optimized and quiet airflow
With an airflow calibrated for targeted areas and an indoor sound level that can drop to around 27 dB(A), this system offers exceptional acoustic comfort.
Key technical features of the 9000 BTU model
Here are the essential elements to remember for this specific model:
- Cooling capacity: 9,000 BTU
- Stable heating capacity down to -35°C
- Refrigerant: R-410A
- Voltage: 220V
- Piping: 1/4 – 3/8
- Compact indoor dimensions: 27.56 x 19.92 x 7.87 inches
- Outdoor sound level: 54.5 dB(A)
This compactness greatly facilitates installations in confined spaces, which is often the case in existing buildings on the South Shore and in Laval.
Smart features for daily comfort
Direct Air Heat Xtreme Pro systems include several modern features that enhance the user experience:
- Automatic defrosting
- Automatic restart after power failure
- 24-hour programmable timer
- Optional WiFi (smart home compatible)
In a recent project in Longueuil, we integrated the WiFi module to allow the client to control their system remotely. The result: more efficient energy consumption management and optimized comfort upon returning home.
HVAC installation: AirGreen expertise in the field
What a ducted installation truly entails
Unlike a wall-mounted heat pump, a ducted installation requires:
- Precise duct planning
- Rigorous management of technical spaces
- Optimization of static pressure for uniform distribution
At AirGreen, every project is analyzed in detail before installation. We take into account:
- The surface area and configuration of the building
- Existing insulation
- Architectural constraints
Real-world example of installation in Montreal
In a renovated duplex in eastern Montreal:
- Wall space was limited
- The client wanted to avoid any visible units
- The suspended ceiling offered an ideal opportunity
We installed this horizontal ducted model, with distribution in three zones:
- Living room
- Master bedroom
- Office
Result:
- Uniform temperature in all rooms
- No perceptible noise in living spaces
- Completely preserved aesthetics
Common mistakes to avoid with this type of system
Even an excellent product can underperform if poorly installed. Here are the mistakes we regularly observe:
1. Incorrect sizing
A system that is too small or too powerful leads to:
- Thermal discomfort
- Excessive energy consumption
2. Poor duct design
Poorly sized ducts cause:
- Uneven air distribution
- Performance losses
3. Installation without thermal analysis
Every building is unique. A standardized installation without precise calculation can compromise the results.
At AirGreen, we avoid these errors through a personalized approach and in-depth field expertise.
