Its maximum airflow of \u003cstrong\u003e1,030 cu. ft.\/min.\u003c\/strong\u003e can supply five to six grilles from a single unit, making it a candidate for a complete main floor, a bungalow with a finished basement, or two levels served from a basement ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn important detail to read before going further\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe configuration sold in Quebec - this indoor unit paired with the outdoor unit \u003cstrong\u003eGWH24AUDXF-D6DNA2J\u003c\/strong\u003e - currently has \u003cstrong\u003eno AHRI certificate or ENERGY STAR listing\u003c\/strong\u003e. You will therefore find neither SEER2 nor HSPF2 nor heating capacity at -8 or -15 °C on this page: these values have not been measured for this pairing, and we do not borrow those from a neighboring model to fill the gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe practical consequence is financial. Hydro-Québec's \u003cstrong\u003eLogisVert\u003c\/strong\u003e program relies on the ENERGY STAR list: equipment absent from this list is not eligible. At this capacity, the difference is the largest in the entire range - a homeowner who chooses the \u003cstrong\u003e24,000 BTU Crossover R32\u003c\/strong\u003e receives \u003cstrong\u003e$2,376\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the \u003cstrong\u003e24,000 BTU Extrême R32\u003c\/strong\u003e qualifies for \u003cstrong\u003e$2,400\u003c\/strong\u003e. Both are installed exactly the same way, with the same indoor unit and the same duct size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn most cases, we will steer you toward one of these two versions. We offer the Clivia at this capacity when availability from Dettson, compatibility with existing equipment or a tight project schedule justifies it - and we will clearly tell you what that decision costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eData published by the manufacturer\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe following information comes from GREE, without third-party certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor unit: \u003cstrong\u003e44.48 x 29.69 x 11.81 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutdoor unit: \u003cstrong\u003e37.72 x 15.83 x 25.98 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum airflow: \u003cstrong\u003e1,030 cu. ft.\/min.\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDehumidification: \u003cstrong\u003e4.23 pints per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor sound level: \u003cstrong\u003e27 to 41 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePiping: \u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 - 5\/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\u003eOutdoor sound level and electrical data are not published by any source for this outdoor unit number. A breaker size cannot be inferred: our electrician confirms it on the nameplate of the delivered equipment after checking your panel's remaining capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat 1,030 cu. ft.\/min. requires from the ductwork\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat much airflow through \u003cstrong\u003eundersized ducts\u003c\/strong\u003e creates speed, and speed creates duct noise that cannot be corrected afterward. We size the main sections and branches to stay below acoustic thresholds, with large-radius elbows and a return sized for the actual airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe return is the classic oversight with large ducted systems. When it is too small, the unit struggles: actual airflow never reaches its rated value, the most distant room remains poorly served, and the customer concludes that the unit is too weak when the ductwork is actually at fault.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOne unit or two independent zones\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt this capacity, the question deserves serious consideration. A 24,000 BTU ducted system covers the area, but it has only one thermostat and one fan speed at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eOne unit works well when\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rooms being served have comparable needs: the same exposure, use and occupancy schedule. An open-concept main floor is the typical example. Installation costs are lower, there is only one outdoor unit to place, and the ductwork remains simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTwo separate zones make sense when\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bedroom level and a living area on the main floor have different schedules and solar loads. Motorized dampers on a single unit are only a partial solution: they move air without changing the capacity produced. Two smaller units cost more initially, cycle better, dehumidify better and provide a second heating source in case of a breakdown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe ask this question based on the room-by-room load calculation rather than the total square footage. It is often the decision with the greatest effect on your actual comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDehumidification is often the real reason to buy\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4.23 pints of water per hour\u003c\/strong\u003e. In a large volume, that is what lets you stay at 24 °C in July instead of lowering the temperature to 21 °C to compensate for humidity. Every degree avoided shows up on the bill, and the air dries continuously without a floor unit or a tank to empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e24,000 BTU generally covers an area of 900 to 1,200 square feet, depending on insulation, exposure and ceiling height. The difference between a 2005 home and a 1955 home of the same size often exceeds 40%, making a load calculation essential rather than merely recommended. Sometimes we conclude that 18,000 BTU is enough: it costs less, cycles less and dehumidifies better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommissioning and balancing\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a large ducted system, installation is not finished when the unit starts. Evacuation and charge verification, followed by grille-by-grille damper balancing, condensate slope verification, setpoint adjustment and checking the clearance under bedroom doors - a closed room without clearance becomes pressurized and stops being properly served.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe return to adjust the balancing after the first season if necessary. A duct network rarely behaves exactly like the calculation, and half a turn of a damper resolves most discrepancies.\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.
