A multi-zone HVAC solution designed for demanding buildings in Quebec
In high-end residential projects, multi-unit buildings and commercial spaces in Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , the North Shore , the South Shore and the Montérégie region , the demand is clear: a multi-zone heat pump capable of offering independent room management, stable performance in winter heating and long-term mechanical reliability.
The LG Multi F MAX LGRED R32 – 48,000 BTU heat pump with 5 heads precisely meets these expectations, provided it is correctly selected, configured and installed , which is at the heart of AirGreen 's expertise.
This system is not a classic wall-mounted heat pump: it is a centralized multi-zone HVAC platform, designed to serve up to 8 indoor units , with a nominal capacity of 48,000 BTU in air conditioning and heating performance maintained down to -25°C , a fundamental criterion for the Quebec climate.
Technical architecture of the LG Multi F MAX LGRED R32 system
An outdoor unit designed for stability and longevity
The KUMXA481A outdoor unit is equipped with a variable-speed scroll compressor , using R-32 refrigerant, known for:
-
energy efficiency superior to several previous generations
-
a reduced refrigerant charge ,
-
a reduced environmental impact .
Unlike simplified residential multi-zone systems, the Multi F MAX is based on a professional distribution logic , with the option to integrate branch distribution units (BDUs) . This architecture allows for:
-
pressure stability in the refrigeration network,
-
better capacity distribution when multiple zones are operating simultaneously
-
a reduction in perceived temperature variations.
At AirGreen , we favour this type of system when the building configuration justifies a more advanced HVAC approach than standard multi-zone systems.
Actual capabilities and measured performance
Accuracy is key: some online marketing materials sometimes display unrealistic values. Here are the consistent and verified technical specifications for this model:
-
Rated cooling capacity : 48,000 BTU
-
Maximum heating capacity :
-
up to 56,500 BTU at +8 °C ,
-
approximately 45,200 BTU at -15°C ,
-
guaranteed operation down to -25 °C .
-
-
COP in heating (standard conditions) : approximately 3.6 to 3.8 , depending on the outside temperature.
-
External noise level : ~ 56 dB(A) , remarkable for a unit of this capacity.
These performance levels explain why this system is eligible for ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate programs and the LogisVert grant from Quebec, currently valued at $4,200 , subject to overall project compliance.
Flexibility of indoor units: a real multi-zone advantage
Wide selection of indoor heads
The LG Multi F MAX allows you to combine different types and capacities of indoor units, including:
-
9000 BTU (KNUAB091A),
-
12,000 BTU (KNUAB121A),
-
14,300 BTU (KNMAB151A),
-
18,000 BTU (KNUAB181A).
This flexibility is essential in real-world projects: a condo, a duplex, or a commercial space never has uniform thermal requirements.
At AirGreen , we systematically perform a room-by-room analysis , taking into account:
-
orientation,
-
glazed surfaces,
-
insulation,
-
actual uses of the premises.
This avoids common mistakes: unnecessary oversizing, acoustic discomfort or cycles that are too short.
Air distribution and actual comfort
The LG wall units associated with this system offer:
-
an automatic vertical and horizontal scan ,
-
modulated ventilation ,
-
interior noise levels as low as 27 to 29 dB(A) depending on the model and speed.
In several installations carried out by AirGreen in Boucherville and on the South Shore , this point was decisive for clients sensitive to noise, particularly in bedrooms or teleworking spaces.
HVAC Installation: Where Everything Really Happens
Refrigeration network and technical constraints
The Multi F MAX imposes strict rules:
-
Total piping length may exceed 450 ft .
-
Height differences between indoor and outdoor units can reach nearly 100 ft .
-
Precise sizing of liquid (3/8") and gas (3/4") pipes.
A sloppy installation inevitably leads to:
-
yield losses,
-
defrosting defects,
-
premature wear of the compressor.
This is precisely why AirGreen entrusts these projects only to certified refrigeration technicians , who are used to VRF / Multi F systems, and not to basic multi-zone installations.
AirGreen Experience Report – Montérégie
During a recent project in a multi-unit residential building in the Montérégie region , the client was hesitating between several multi-zone systems.
After analysis, the LG Multi F MAX was selected for:
-
stability in winter heating ,
-
the possibility of 5 independent zones with a single outdoor unit,
-
compatibility with municipal acoustic requirements.
Result after a full winter:
-
measured reduction in electricity consumption
-
consistent temperatures despite variations in exposure,
-
No complaints related to noise or defrosting.
Maintenance, reliability and long-term outlook
Recommended maintenance
A system of this scale requires:
-
Regular cleaning of the internal filters,
-
annual inspection of the refrigeration system,
-
checking operating parameters and defrosting.
AirGreen offers tailored HVAC maintenance programs specifically designed for complex multi-zone systems.
Guarantee and peace of mind
-
Compressor : 10 years
-
Parts : 10 years
-
Labor costs : variable, with the possibility of an AirGreen extended warranty
In large-scale projects, we systematically recommend an extended warranty , particularly in buildings with heavy use.
