The bedroom above the garage, the rear addition, the basement finished ten years ago, the office set up in the former sunroom. The central system has always served them poorly, and eventually an electric baseboard was added with the thought that it would do the job.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eGREE Airy R32 12,000 BTU\u003c\/strong\u003e is the unit we install most often in these situations. A dedicated \u003cstrong\u003educted system\u003c\/strong\u003e for the problem area, concealed in the ceiling, with its own grilles and thermostat - and energy consumption that is nothing like that of the baseboard it replaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy These Rooms Resist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA room above an unheated garage loses heat through the floor, which no square-foot calculation captures. An addition built twenty years after the house sits at the end of the original \u003cstrong\u003eductwork\u003c\/strong\u003e, where the available static pressure has been exhausted. A finished basement combines a low heating load in winter with a high humidity load in summer, two conflicting requirements for a central system adjusted for the main floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn all three cases, the answer is not more capacity from the central system. It is an independent zone with its own unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Certified Figures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAHRI Certificate 216618221, ENERGY STAR listing 4511756.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSEER2 of 21.5\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eEER2 of 13.0\u003c\/strong\u003e in cooling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2 of 9.0\u003c\/strong\u003e in heating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e-8 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10,300 BTU\/h, COP of 2.8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAt \u003cstrong\u003e-15 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10,500 BTU\/h, COP of 1.9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDown to \u003cstrong\u003e-30 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6,500 BTU\/h at maximum capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompared with the electric baseboard it replaces, the difference is straightforward: one kilowatt-hour becomes 2.8 kilowatt-hours of heat at -8 °C, compared with just one in the baseboard. In a room heated all season, the difference shows up on the bill from the very first winter. The unit carries ENERGY STAR's \u003cstrong\u003ecold-climate\u003c\/strong\u003e designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e$1,236 in Financial Assistance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEligible for Hydro-Québec's \u003cstrong\u003eLogisVert\u003c\/strong\u003e program for \u003cstrong\u003e$1,236\u003c\/strong\u003e for an owner of an existing home, with access to the bonus thanks to the cold-climate designation. This is the amount that applies to a single homeowner; the amount sometimes seen in brochures applies to the multi-unit housing component. We verify the figure using Hydro-Québec's official tool as of the planned installation date and prepare the application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIntegrating It into an Already Finished Room\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhere the Unit Goes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndoor unit measuring \u003cstrong\u003e32.67 x 29.69 x 11.81 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e. In a bedroom above a garage, the best location is generally a bulkhead at the top of the closet or a ceiling drop above the door. In a basement, the existing ceiling cavity is almost always sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe Ductwork\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eMaximum airflow of \u003cstrong\u003e353 cfm\u003c\/strong\u003e, lower than that of the 9,000 BTU unit in the same range - a consequence of matching the heat exchanger with the compressor, and one that requires a generously sized duct network. Few tight elbows, properly sized main sections, and an accessible filter. For two to three grilles and short runs, this airflow is more than sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eThe Filter\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ducted unit with an inaccessible filter is a ducted unit people eventually stop cleaning. We include an access panel with every installation and show you how to remove the filter during commissioning. This is the unit's only routine maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCondensate\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eContinuous slope to a drain, or a condensate pump with a safety switch that shuts off the unit before any overflow. We install this switch systematically: it costs little and prevents a ceiling from having to be redone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBasement Humidity\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRemoval of \u003cstrong\u003e2.96 pints of water per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e. In a finished basement, this is often what the client was looking for without putting it into words: the musty smell that disappears, the damp chill of June that fades, and the portable dehumidifier that can be put away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAcoustics and the Outdoor Unit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndoor unit at \u003cstrong\u003e26 to 39 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e.
