A discreet and efficient solution for consistent comfort all year round

In the field of residential and light commercial HVAC in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore, ducted systems are rapidly gaining popularity. At AirGreen, we are increasingly installing solutions like the DIRECT AIR DA25 | 12000 BTU Ducted (Vertical) Heat Pump, particularly in properties where aesthetics, quiet operation, and uniform air distribution are essential.

Unlike traditional wall-mounted units, this model integrates directly into a duct network, allowing for discreet air distribution to multiple rooms without compromising performance.


Why choose a vertical ducted heat pump in Greater Montreal

Invisible and high-end integration

In several recent projects carried out in Outremont, Boucherville, and Laval, our clients were looking for a solution that wouldn't alter their interior design. The vertical ducted configuration of this DIRECT AIR heat pump allows for:

  • Installation in a technical closet or mechanical room
  • Air distribution via discreet grilles
  • Complete visual reduction of the equipment

The result: optimal comfort without aesthetic impact.


Performance adapted to the Quebec climate

The DA25 model offers heating capacity down to -25°C, which is essential for Quebec's harsh winters.

Concretely, this means:

  • Maintaining comfort even during extreme cold
  • Reduced reliance on auxiliary heating systems
  • Thermal stability throughout the house

During a recent installation on the South Shore, a client was able to completely replace their old electric system with this heat pump, significantly reducing their energy costs from the very first winter.


Detailed technical specifications of the DIRECT AIR DA25 12,000 BTU model

Energy Performance

  • Cooling Capacity: 12,000 BTU
  • SEER2: 19.0+
  • HSPF2: 11.0+
  • EER2: 11.7
  • COP at -8°C: 1.22+

These values demonstrate excellent energy efficiency for a ducted system, particularly in real-world usage conditions in Quebec.


Heating capacities according to temperatures

According to technical data:

  • At -8°C: approximately 9,300 BTU
  • At -15°C: approximately 8,400 BTU

This confirms stable performance even in difficult winter conditions, which is essential for properties in Montreal and Laval exposed to cold winds.


Compact dimensions for vertical installation

A major advantage of this unit is its format:

  • Indoor Dimensions: 27.56 × 19.92 × 7.87 inches
  • Possible installation in confined spaces
  • Suitable for condos, townhouses, and renovation projects

In several renovations in Longueuil, we were able to integrate this system into existing technical spaces without major modifications.


Reduced noise level

  • Indoor: 31 to 38 dB(A)
  • Outdoor: 53.5 dB(A)

These levels are particularly appreciated in:

  • Open-concept homes
  • Condos
  • Bedrooms

A client in Laval-des-Rapides mentioned that the system is practically inaudible during normal operation.


Advanced features for smart comfort

The DIRECT AIR DA25 heat pump includes several modern technologies:

  • Automatic Defrost
  • Auto Restart
  • 24-hour Programmable Timer
  • Optional WiFi (smart home compatible)
  • Variable Static Pressure Control
  • Integrated Filtration

These functions enable optimized comfort management and energy consumption.


HVAC Installation: Our expertise in the field

Real-world example – Project in Brossard (South Shore)

We recently installed this model in a new 1,800 sq ft home:

  • Vertical installation in a mechanical room
  • Ducted distribution to 6 rooms
  • Precise adjustment of static pressure to balance the air

Result:

  • Uniform temperature throughout the house
  • No cold or overheated zones
  • High customer satisfaction after the first winter

Common mistakes to avoid

When installing a ducted heat pump:

  1. Undersized ducts
    → Result: noise and loss of performance
  2. Poor static pressure management
    → Uneven air distribution
  3. Installation in a poorly ventilated space
    → Risk of system overheating

At AirGreen, we systematically correct these errors through rigorous design of the entire system, not just the unit.
