Understanding the real power of a 36,000 BTU multi-zone heat pump
Capacity and performance in real conditions
The FORESTAIR MZ R454B 36,000 BTU offers high nominal power, but what really matters is its performance in Quebec winter conditions.
- Heating capacity at -8°C: 27,400 BTU
- Capacity at -15°C: 26,000 BTU
- Guaranteed operation down to -25°C
- DC Inverter technology to continuously adjust power
Impressive energy efficiency
- SEER2: 22.5
- HSPF2: 10.0
- COP: 3.5
In concrete terms, this means that for every dollar of electricity consumed, you get much more useful heat compared to traditional systems.
Multi-zone configuration: essential flexibility
Up to 2 zones (expandable to 4)
This system is designed for:
- 2 standard zones
- Up to 4 maximum zones
This allows for air conditioning or heating:
- A duplex
- A condo with several bedrooms
- A multi-story house with distinct zones
Possible combinations of indoor units
Compatible models include:
- 9,000 BTU
- 12,000 BTU
- 18,000 BTU
- 24,000 BTU
At AirGreen, we always adapt the combination according to:
- The actual surface area
- The building's insulation
- Sun exposure
- The specific needs of the occupants
R-454B refrigerant: a transition to more ecological systems
Why this gas is important
The FORESTAIR MZ uses R-454B, a new generation refrigerant:
- Reduced environmental impact (lower GWP)
- Compliance with future standards
- Better thermal efficiency
In a context where standards are rapidly evolving in Canada, choosing a system already aligned with new requirements is a strategic advantage.
