The Sirius Heat series is designed for extreme cold and provides heating down to -30 °C. The \u003cstrong\u003eDURASTAR Standard Wall-Mounted Heat Pump | 9,000 BTU - R454B\u003c\/strong\u003e takes a different approach: a heating operating limit of \u003cstrong\u003e-25 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e, but a better coefficient of performance at -8 °C and -15 °C, a lighter and quieter outdoor unit, and a smaller electrical circuit. For a bedroom, office, or small room already heated by baseboards, it is often the more rational choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts certified ratings are \u003cstrong\u003e24.6 SEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e14.7 EER2\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003e13.0 HSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e, the best seasonal heating rating among Standard models using R-454B.

The Standard's figures come from certificate \u003cstrong\u003eAHRI 215359270\u003c\/strong\u003e, published by NEEP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen the Standard is the right choice\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Standard is well suited to rooms with little heat loss: a bedroom with only one exterior wall, a well-insulated office, or a dwelling located between two other units. In these cases, the certified capacity is sufficient for most of the season, and the better COP translates directly into savings. Existing baseboards remain in place to take over during extreme cold and below -25 °C, this system's heating operating limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Sirius Heat becomes preferable when the room has two exterior walls, large windows, a floor above an unheated garage, or when you want to minimize baseboard use. We assess this with you during the evaluation, room by room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSummer: 24.6 SEER2 efficiency\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn cooling mode, the certified capacity is 9,000 BTU\/h, with a modulation range of \u003cstrong\u003e3,100 to 10,900 BTU\/h\u003c\/strong\u003e. The variable-speed compressor can therefore run for long periods at low speed, stabilizing the temperature and removing moisture from the air. In heating mode at 8 °C, the range is 4,200 to 14,200 BTU\/h, with 10,000 BTU\/h certified and a COP of 3.66: autumn and spring days cost very little to heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLogisVert and this size\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis system does not appear on Hydro-Québec's current LogisVert list, which is why the technical data sheet shows an amount of $0.

If the rebate is a factor in your decision, the 12,000 BTU Standard using R-454B appears on the list with a $1,248 incentive; we compare both sizes based on your room and the list in effect on the installation date.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA simple installation for an enclosed room: what we plan for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis size is well suited to quick, minimally invasive installations. The technical details remain the same as for a larger unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe indoor unit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe wall-mounted unit measures \u003cstrong\u003e31.57 x 7.87 x 11.61 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e and weighs 19.0 pounds. With this system, its sound level ranges from \u003cstrong\u003e20 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e in Silence mode to \u003cstrong\u003e46 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e in Turbo mode, and its maximum airflow reaches \u003cstrong\u003e383 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e. The vertical louver oscillates automatically; the lateral direction is set manually during commissioning. The remote control offers \u003cstrong\u003eFollow Me\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eECO\/GEAR\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSleep\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eSilence\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eTurbo\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eActive Clean\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eGentle\u003c\/strong\u003e functions, as well as 8 °C freeze protection. Wi-Fi is not built in; DuraStar offers a Wi-Fi adapter module sold separately, and the DRSTAT101 wall thermostat is compatible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe outdoor unit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe condenser measures \u003cstrong\u003e30.12 x 11.93 x 21.85 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e, weighs 62.2 pounds, and produces \u003cstrong\u003e53 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e. Its compact size makes installation on a balcony, wall bracket, or ground stand easier, always above the snow line. The base-pan heater prevents defrost water from freezing, and the fins are protected by an anticorrosion coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe lines and refrigerant\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe refrigerant lines are \u003cstrong\u003e1\/4 and 3\/8 inch\u003c\/strong\u003e, precharged for 25 feet, with a maximum length of \u003cstrong\u003e82 feet\u003c\/strong\u003e and a maximum elevation difference of 49 feet. Beyond the precharge length, 0.16 ounces of refrigerant is added per foot. \u003cstrong\u003eR-454B\u003c\/strong\u003e is an A2L refrigerant with low global warming potential; the indoor unit therefore includes a factory-installed leak detector. Existing lines of these diameters can sometimes be reused: their cleaning and testing are then included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eElectrical requirements\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e208-230 V\u003c\/strong\u003e power supply, \u003cstrong\u003e12 A MCA\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a \u003cstrong\u003e15 A circuit breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e on a dedicated circuit. This is one of the lightest requirements in the DuraStar wall-mounted range, a real advantage in duplexes and condos where panel space is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is normal\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite vapour outside during \u003cstrong\u003edefrost\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a pause in indoor heat delivery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA three-minute delay before the compressor restarts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeating stopping below -25 °C, confirming the usefulness of keeping the baseboards operational.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlight whistling or cracking sounds during temperature changes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA persistent error code, a tripped circuit breaker, or water leaking indoors requires turning off the unit and calling for service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eClean the \u003cstrong\u003eindoor filters\u003c\/strong\u003e every two weeks during the season, keep the condenser clear of snow and leaves, and schedule annual \u003cstrong\u003eHVAC maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e for the coils, condensate drainage, and electrical connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAirGreen, straightforward advice on choosing the right model\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe have been installing wall-mounted heat pumps in \u003cstrong\u003eMontreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLaval\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eLongueuil\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eNorth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the \u003cstrong\u003eSouth Shore\u003c\/strong\u003e for more than fifteen years.
