We therefore will not publish SEER2, HSPF2, or heating capacity at -8 or -15 °C on this page. These values exist for other pairings in the same family, but applying them here would mean advertising performance that no one has measured for this combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat This Means for You in Practical Terms\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eNo LogisVert Financial Assistance\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eHydro-Québec's program relies on the ENERGY STAR list. A unit absent from this list is not eligible, regardless of its actual quality. For a project of this size, the missing assistance represents approximately \u003cstrong\u003e$1,200\u003c\/strong\u003e - exactly what a homeowner receives when choosing the certified 12,000 BTU GREE Crossover R32.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat We Recommend\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the vast majority of cases, the right decision is to choose the certified version: the \u003cstrong\u003e12,000 BTU Crossover R32\u003c\/strong\u003e ($1,200 in assistance) or the \u003cstrong\u003e12,000 BTU Extrême R32\u003c\/strong\u003e ($1,236 in assistance). Both share the same indoor-unit format and are installed exactly the same way. We sell this Clivia when availability from Dettson, a replacement part already in inventory, or compatibility with an existing unit in the same building justifies it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe would rather direct you toward a unit that earns you a rebate than sell you the one in front of us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eManufacturer-Published Data\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere is what GREE publishes for this unit, without third-party certification behind it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor unit: \u003cstrong\u003e32.67 x 29.69 x 11.81 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutdoor unit: \u003cstrong\u003e31.58 x 13.78 x 21.84 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum airflow: \u003cstrong\u003e353 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDehumidification: \u003cstrong\u003e2.96 pints per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor sound level: \u003cstrong\u003e26 to 39 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiping: \u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 - 3\/8 inch\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower supply: \u003cstrong\u003e220 V\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefrigerant: \u003cstrong\u003eR-32\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe outdoor unit's sound level and electrical data (minimum circuit ampacity, maximum overcurrent protection) are not published by any source for this outdoor-unit number.

The ducted system wins on three specific points, and at least one of them needs to matter to you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDistribution\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wall-mounted unit conditions the room where it is installed. A ducted system serves two or three rooms through a network of \u003cstrong\u003educts\u003c\/strong\u003e, solving the classic imbalance between a comfortable living room and a closed-off bedroom that remains cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAppearance\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo unit on the wall, no visible stream of air, just a grille in the ceiling. In a condominium, a formal living room, or a heritage home, this is often the main reason for choosing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eQuiet in the Room\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fan is in the ceiling, not on the bedroom wall. Even with the same sound level on the specification sheet, the experience in the room is not comparable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf none of these three points applies to your situation, we will tell you honestly that a wall-mounted unit will do the job for less.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing Remains the Real Issue\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRegardless of certification, 12,000 BTU is generally suitable for a well-insulated 400- to 550-square-foot area, or for two or three rooms served by the same network. Large south-facing windows, a cathedral ceiling, or a poorly insulated basement can push the load toward the next capacity level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe airflow of 353 CFM requires a generous duct network: few sharp bends, properly sized main sections, an accessible filter, and sufficient return air. This is the key design constraint to keep in mind for this capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDehumidification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.96 pints of water per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e places this unit on the same level as other 12,000 BTU units in the family. In central \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e neighbourhoods, where July humidity regularly exceeds 70%, this is the figure that determines perceived comfort more than the displayed temperature. A properly sized unit runs for long periods at low speed and continuously dries the air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaintenance in Two Steps\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA ducted system requires little, but it requires regular attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe filter\u003c\/strong\u003e should be cleaned every four to eight weeks during the operating season. This is the only routine maintenance, and it is also the leading cause of airflow loss we see in service calls. We plan an access hatch for every installation and show you how to do it during commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe drain pan and condensate drain\u003c\/strong\u003e should be checked once a year, before the cooling season. We systematically install a safety switch that shuts the unit off before any overflow: it is an inexpensive component that prevents having to replace a drywall ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEverything else - refrigerant pressure, electrical connections, and outdoor-coil cleaning - falls under the annual maintenance we perform.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOur Position\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe install \u003cstrong\u003eHVAC systems\u003c\/strong\u003e in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e, on the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e.
