A discreet and efficient HVAC solution for controlled comfort in Montreal and its surroundings

In the field of residential and commercial HVAC, some configurations require solutions that are both powerful, discreet, and flexible. The DIRECT AIR DA25 | 9000 BTU ducted heat pump excels precisely in these contexts where aesthetics, performance, and architectural integration are essential.

At AirGreen, we have installed this type of system in several properties in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore, and the South Shore, particularly in high-end condos, modern offices, and residences with suspended ceilings. This vertical ducted model allows for uniform air distribution without compromising interior design.


Why choose a vertical ducted heat pump like the DIRECT AIR DA25?

Invisible yet effective integration

Unlike traditional wall-mounted units, a ducted heat pump is entirely concealed within a ceiling, a false ceiling, or a technical space. Only the ventilation grilles are visible, which allows for:

  • A sleek aesthetic
  • Uniform air distribution in multiple rooms
  • Better zone management

During a recent project in Boucherville (South Shore), we replaced two visible wall-mounted units with a vertical ducted DIRECT AIR system. The result: improved comfort and a much more harmonious interior finish.


Performance adapted to Quebec's climate

This model is designed to operate efficiently in demanding winter conditions:

  • Heating down to -25°C
  • Capacity at -15°C: approximately 8000 BTU
  • Capacity at -8°C: 7700 BTU

According to the technical data from the brochure, Direct Air systems offer an operating range from -25°C to 30°C for heating, making them perfectly suited for Quebec winters.


Energy efficiency and optimized consumption

Even if this model is not rated Energy Star Cold Climate, it remains efficient:

  • SEER2: 19.23
  • HSPF2: 10.21
  • EER2: 12.52
  • COP at -8°C: 2.13

These values demonstrate interesting energy efficiency for a ducted installation, which is often more complex than wall-mounted systems.

Common mistakes to avoid with ducted systems

1. Underestimating duct design

Poor design can lead to:

  • Poor air distribution
  • Excessive noise
  • Loss of efficiency

2. Choosing inadequate capacity

A 9000 BTU system is ideal for:

  • Small condos
  • Compact offices
  • Well-insulated spaces

But insufficient for large areas.

3. Neglecting access for maintenance

Poorly planned access complicates:

  • Cleaning
  • Maintenance
  • Repairs

At AirGreen, we always anticipate these aspects.
