A compact, high-performance ducted solution for invisible comfort in Montreal
At AirGreen, we regularly install ducted HVAC systems in properties where aesthetics, performance, and discretion are essential. The DIRECT AIR HEAT XTREME PRO 12000 BTU ducted heat pump (vertical) is a particularly suitable solution for homes and condos in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, as well as on the North Shore and South Shore.
This model combines 12,000 BTU power, remarkable energy efficiency, and reliable heating capacity down to -35°C, making it a strategic choice for Quebec's climate.
Why choose a DIRECT AIR HEAT XTREME PRO ducted heat pump?
Performance designed for Quebec winters
Unlike many standard systems, this heat pump offers a stable heating capacity down to -35°C, which concretely means:
- Maintaining comfort even during periods of intense cold
- Significant reduction in reliance on auxiliary systems
- Better temperature stability throughout the home
According to technical documentation, these systems are designed to operate efficiently in a range of -35°C to 30°C for heating and -30°C to 50°C for cooling, which largely exceeds typical requirements for residential installations in Quebec.
Superior energy efficiency
This model is ENERGY STAR® (Cold Climate) certified, which guarantees:
- Reduced energy costs
- Eligibility for subsidies like LogisVert (currently $1272)
- Optimized performance throughout the year
Key indicators include:
- High SEER2 (cooling efficiency)
- Strong HSPF2 (heating efficiency)
- Optimized COP at low temperatures
In practice, this means a tangible reduction in electricity bills for our customers, particularly in cities like Montreal or Laval, where seasonal variations are significant.
Discreet comfort thanks to ducted technology
The specificity of a vertical ducted system lies in its ability to distribute air via concealed ducts. This offers several advantages:
- No visible wall units in rooms
- Uniform air distribution
- Increased quietness (indoor sound level as low as 26.5 dB)
We recently installed this model in a high-end condo in Boucherville (South Shore) where the client wanted to maintain a minimalist design. Result: no visible units, homogeneous distribution in all rooms, and immediate satisfaction.

Actual AirGreen Installation: Feedback
Project in Laval – single-family home
We installed this model in a 1,200 sq ft home with the following constraints:
- Limited ceiling space for ducts
- Need for absolute silence (baby at home)
- Main heating system to be replaced

Common mistakes to avoid with this type of system
Even with an excellent product, poor installation can compromise performance. Here are the errors we often observe:
1. Incorrect duct sizing
Improperly calculated airflow leads to:
- Cold or hot spots
- Excessive noise
- Loss of efficiency
2. Installation in an inadequate space
A ducted unit must be installed in an accessible and ventilated space.
3. Neglecting static pressure
Ducted systems require precise pressure management to ensure optimal distribution.
At AirGreen, every installation includes a complete building analysis, preventing these problems from the outset.
