A reliable and efficient wall-mounted heat pump designed for Quebec winters
At AirGreen, we install hundreds of HVAC systems each year in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore, and the South Shore. Among the recent models that stand out for their balance of performance, cost, and ease of installation, the DirectAir 23 SEER – 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump clearly distinguishes itself.
This model, designed to provide constant comfort even in harsh climatic conditions, perfectly meets the needs of condo, apartment, and small house owners. Thanks to its heating capacity down to -25 °C, it is perfectly suited to the Quebec climate, without compromising energy efficiency.
Energy performance and detailed technical specifications
Optimized energy efficiency for Quebec
The DirectAir 23 SEER offers solid performance in all conditions:
- SEER2: 23 – excellent cooling efficiency
- HSPF2: 19.5 – high seasonal heating performance
- EER2: 13.02 – reliable instantaneous efficiency
- COP at -8 °C: 1.75+ (approx.) – stable performance in cold conditions
- ENERGY STAR® certified, including the cold climate version
This specifically means a significant reduction in electricity costs, particularly appreciated by our clients in Montreal and Montérégie who wish to optimize their energy consumption.
Capacity and performance in real conditions
- Cooling capacity: 12,000 BTU
- Heating power at -15 °C: 8400 BTU
- Power at -8 °C: 7500 BTU
In a recent project in Laval (Chomedey), we installed this model in a 900 sq. ft. condo. The result: stable temperature even during cold spells, and a reduction in the energy bill of more than 25% compared to an old electric system.
Smart features and enhanced comfort
Precise airflow control
The DirectAir 23 SEER is equipped with:
- Automatic vertical louvers
- Automatic horizontal louvers
This dual control allows for uniform air distribution throughout the room, eliminating cold or hot spots. This is an often underestimated but crucial element for real comfort.
Advanced operating modes
This heat pump offers several modes adapted to different needs:
- ECO Mode: optimized energy consumption
- Turbo Mode: rapid temperature rise
- Sleep Mode: quiet and economical operation at night
- 24h Timer: simple and effective programming
- Automatic restart after power failure
During an installation on the South Shore in Boucherville, a client working at night primarily used the sleep mode. The result: optimal comfort without disruptive noise during sleep.
Integrated humidity management
The humidity sensor automatically adjusts the indoor humidity level, a major advantage during Montreal's humid summers. This not only improves comfort but also air quality.
HVAC installation: what you need to know
Standard technical configuration
- Voltage: 220V
- Piping: 1/4 – 3/8
- Outdoor dimensions: 31.88 x 11.02 x 23.03 inches
- Outdoor noise level: 53 dB(A)
This configuration makes the system compatible with most existing residential installations.
Typical installation performed by AirGreen
In a project in Longueuil, we installed this unit in a duplex:
- Discrete piping passage through an exterior wall
- Installation on an anti-vibration wall mount
- 12-foot refrigerant line (standard included)
- Startup and complete calibration
Total duration: less than one day.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Underestimating piping length
- Incorrect indoor unit placement
- Neglecting drain evacuation
At AirGreen, we often correct installations poorly executed by other providers, which results in additional costs for the client. A well-done installation from the start is essential.
Subsidies and available savings
The DirectAir 23 SEER is eligible for a LogisVert subsidy of $375 (updated November 2025).
Our clients in Laval and on the North Shore regularly benefit from these programs, which reduces the initial installation cost.
Reliability and warranty
- Standard warranty: 5 years (compressor and parts)
- Labor: not included by default
- Extended warranty options available
Even if the basic warranty is shorter than some high-end models, we have observed that this system remains reliable provided regular HVAC maintenance is performed.
AirGreen Feedback
