FORESTAIR E-20 Heat Pump | 9000 BTU 220V | Installation in Greater Montreal & Montérégie

A wall-mounted heat pump designed for the real constraints of the Quebec climate

At AirGreen, we've been installing heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in Greater Montreal long enough to know that a heat pump can't be chosen based solely on a technical specification sheet. It must be chosen according to the climate , the type of building , occupancy patterns , and the client's actual needs .

The FORESTAIR E-20 | 9000 BTU 220V heat pump fits perfectly into this framework. It's a wall-mounted model designed to offer a realistic balance between winter performance, ease of use, and controlled cost , without exaggerated promises or unnecessary technologies.

In several projects carried out in Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , on the North Shore and the South Shore , this model has established itself as a reliable solution for targeted spaces requiring constant comfort throughout the year.

Who is the FORESTAIR E-20 9000 BTU really aimed at?

Before discussing figures, it is essential to understand the ideal context of use for this heat pump.

The FORESTAIR E-20 9000 BTU is particularly suitable:

• To urban condos

• To single-family homes with well-defined zones

• At the home office

• In multigenerational homes where a room requires independent thermal control

We often recommend it when a client wants to:

• A discreet wall-mounted heat pump

• Reliable heating capacity in winter

• A simple and clean installation

• An easy-to-use system, even remotely

Detailed technical specifications: what the numbers really mean

Capacity and performance

• Rated capacity : 9,000 BTU

• Heating capacity down to -25°C

• Power measured at -8°C : 6,300 BTU

In typical Quebec winter conditions, this means that the heat pump continues to produce usable heat well beyond the point where many standard models become inefficient or prematurely switch to supplemental heating.

Energy efficiency

• SEER2 : 19.03

• HSPF2 : 7.815

• EER2 : 11.02

These values ​​reflect a stable and constant performance, particularly appreciated by customers who wish to avoid unpredictable variations in electricity consumption , especially during periods of extreme cold.

Even without ENERGY STAR® certification, the FORESTAIR E-20 remains consistent and reliable in a real Quebec residential context, where performance in extreme conditions is often more important than theoretical yields.

Refrigerant and power supply

• Refrigerant gas : R-410A

• Power supply : 220V

The choice of R-410A allows for proven compatibility, known maintenance and constant availability of parts, which is a significant long-term advantage for HVAC maintenance.

Acoustic comfort: an often underestimated point

A criterion frequently mentioned by our customers after installation concerns the noise level .

• Indoor unit : as low as 32 dB(A)

• Outdoor unit : approximately 50 dB(A)

Whether in a condo in Montreal or a bungalow in Laval, this difference is immediately noticeable. Several clients have told us that they literally forget the system is running , it's so quiet, especially in continuous heating mode.

Airflow management and indoor comfort

The FORESTAIR E-20 offers:

• Self-adjusting vertical shutters

• Manually adjustable horizontal shutters

This type of configuration allows for precise control of airflow, avoiding common inconveniences such as air blowing directly towards occupants or persistent cold spots in a room.

In several facilities on the South Shore, this point was crucial for clients sensitive to drafts, particularly in bedrooms.

Built-in WiFi: practical control every day

Built-in Wi-Fi connectivity is not a gimmick. When used correctly, it allows you to:

• Adjusting the temperature before returning home

• To reduce heating during a prolonged absence

• To schedule specific time slots according to occupancy

For owners of rental properties in Longueuil or Montreal , this feature has allowed for more efficient management of comfort , while limiting overconsumption of energy.

HVAC Installation: What We Do Differently at AirGreen

Pre-installation analysis

Before any installation, we carry out a complete thermal analysis , taking into account:

• The actual area of ​​the room

• The existing insulation

• The building's orientation

• The lifestyle habits of the occupants

This step is essential to avoid common mistakes such as oversizing or undersizing.

Dimensions and integration

• Indoor unit : 31.92 x 11.49 x 8.07 in

• Outdoor unit : 28.66 x 21.65 x 11.22 in

• Piping : 1/4 – 3/8 in

These dimensions allow for a clean installation, often without major modifications to the building, which is particularly appreciated in existing buildings.

Heating down to -25°C: a real advantage in winter

In Quebec winters, the ability to maintain heating during prolonged periods of cold is essential. The FORESTAIR E-20 has demonstrated, in several AirGreen projects, appreciable thermal stability , even when the outside temperature drops significantly.

In some cases, it has made it possible to significantly reduce the use of existing electric auxiliary heating, without compromising indoor comfort.

This model, in all transparency: what you need to know

The FORESTAIR E-20 is not designed for all skill levels. It is important to emphasize:

• No applicable LogisVert provincial subsidy

• No ENERGY STAR® certification

• Labor warranty not included as standard (extension possible)

We always present these elements clearly from the outset, so that the client can make a fully informed decision.
