FORESTAIR E-38 Heat Pump | 9,000 BTU | Installation in Laval & Montreal

A wall-mounted heat pump designed to offer true stability in northern climates

At AirGreen, we've been installing heating, air conditioning, and wall-mounted heat pump systems in Greater Montreal long enough to distinguish between models designed for marketing purposes and those truly suited to Quebec conditions. The FORESTAIR E-38 9,000 BTU heat pump clearly belongs to the latter category.

This model doesn't try to impress with a list of unnecessary options. Rather, it aims for a specific objective: to ensure constant, quiet, and reliable thermal comfort, even when the outside temperature drops very low , as is regularly the case in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and the South Shore.

Why the FORESTAIR E-38 series meets very real needs

An approach focused on consistency rather than technological one-upmanship

In our daily work at AirGreen, we observe that many customers are primarily looking for:

• stable heating in the middle of winter

• efficient air conditioning in the summer,

• a discreet and reliable device

• predictable energy consumption.

The FORESTAIR E-38 9000 BTU was designed precisely with this in mind. It stands out thanks to its robust, field-proven design, which maintains its performance when other models reach their limits.

A 9,000 BTU capacity well-suited to the targeted spaces

Where this heat pump truly excels

With a rated power of 9,000 BTU , this model is particularly suitable for:

• master bedrooms,

• home offices

• condo lounges,

• small to medium-sized dwellings

• specific floors in a single-family home.

At AirGreen, we have installed this model in condos in Montreal (Rosemont, Ahuntsic, Griffintown) , houses in Laval , and plexes in Longueuil . When properly sized and positioned, it offers very consistent comfort, without cold spots or overheating.

A common mistake that we systematically avoid

A common pitfall is installing an oversized heat pump "as a precaution." In reality, this leads to:

• short cycles,

• premature wear,

• unnecessary consumption.

Our role is precisely to avoid this type of situation. The FORESTAIR E-38 is an excellent choice when installed in the right place, for the right area .

Heating down to -30°C: a key issue for Quebec

A real advantage during periods of intense cold.

Heating capacity down to -30°C is a key factor for many customers. In real-world conditions, this means that:

• The heat pump continues to produce heat during cold spells.

• The transition to supplementary heating sources is delayed.

• Comfort remains stable in the main rooms.

In several projects carried out on the North Shore , particularly in areas more exposed to wind, this behavior in low temperature has made a concrete difference to the daily comfort of the occupants.

Energy performance and seasonal behavior

Efficiency data consistent with actual usage

The FORESTAIR E-38 displays:

• SEER2: 13.3

• HSPF2: 19.5

In practice, these values ​​translate into:

• efficient air conditioning without excessive energy consumption in the summer,

• a constant heating output throughout the winter,

• a more predictable energy bill.

This model is not designed to maximize subsidies, but to offer stable and honest performance throughout the year , which meets the expectations of many owners.

Acoustic comfort: an often underestimated criterion

Inner silence, outer discretion

• Indoor unit: up to 19 dB(A)

• Outdoor unit: 57 dB(A)

In multi-unit residential buildings in Montreal, noise level is a determining factor. Several clients have told us that after installation, the heat pump became virtually imperceptible, even when running continuously at night.

This acoustic comfort is particularly appreciated in:

• the rooms,

• home offices,

• dwellings with shared walls.

R-410A refrigerant: a pragmatic choice

The FORESTAIR E-38 uses R-410A , a refrigerant well-known to HVAC technicians. For customers, this means:

• a wide availability of parts

• ease of long-term maintenance,

• rapid interventions when needed.

At AirGreen, we favour solutions that we know we can maintain effectively for many years , without depending on complex supply chains.

HVAC installation: AirGreen's expertise makes all the difference

A complete analysis before the procedure

Before each wall-mounted heat pump installation in Laval or Montreal , we assess:

• the actual insulation of the building,

• sun exposure,

• the layout of the rooms,

• potential heat losses.

This analysis confirms that the FORESTAIR E-38 is indeed the right choice, or directs us towards a more suitable alternative if necessary.

Technical details handled by our teams

Our facilities include, in particular:

• 1/4" - 1/2" piping, properly insulated

• 220V power supply compliant with standards,

• respect for MCA 9A and MOP 16A values,

• integrated WiFi configuration,

• precise adjustment of automatic vertical shutters.

These details make a real difference to the durability and performance of the system.

Concrete feedback from our customers

In Boucherville , a customer was using only electric baseboard heaters in his condo. After installing the FORESTAIR E-38 in the living room, he noticed a significant decrease in his winter energy consumption within the first few weeks.

In Villeray , we replaced an old, noisy heat pump with this model. The feedback was immediate:

• more stable temperature

• Noise significantly reduced

• More intuitive control thanks to WiFi.

This feedback from the field confirms the value of this model when it is well integrated into its environment.

Subsidies and guarantees: total transparency

LogisVert Subsidy

The FORESTAIR E-38 9000 BTU is not eligible for the LogisVert subsidy . At AirGreen, we always explain this clearly so that the customer can make an informed decision, without any unpleasant surprises.

Manufacturer's warranty

• Compressor: 10 years

• Parts: 10 years

• Labor: not included by default

Extended warranty options are available for those who wish to maximize their peace of mind.

Who is this model best suited for?

The FORESTAIR E-38 heat pump is ideal for:

• well-insulated spaces,

• customers looking for a simple and reliable solution ,

• projects where silence is a priority.

• intensive use for heating during the winter.

For very open or poorly insulated spaces, we generally recommend a higher capacity.
