AURA\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA heat pump with good technical specifications can deliver disappointing results if the choice of location, drainage, piping, or commissioning is poorly executed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe mistakes we seek to avoid from the outset of project preparation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our \u003cstrong\u003eHVAC work in Greater Montreal\u003c\/strong\u003e, several problems can be prevented before installation even begins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eChoose 18,000 BTU solely based on floor area\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommendation of 750 to 1,000 sq. ft. is useful, but it does not replace an analysis of the home’s layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also assess the insulation, windows, exposure, number of rooms, and airflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstall the indoor unit in a location that blocks air distribution\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA heat pump can be powerful enough on paper and still leave part of the home uncomfortable if its airflow hits a wall immediately or remains trapped in a room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAutomatic control of the vertical and horizontal louvers is useful, but it cannot compensate for a poor location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eNeglecting condensate drainage\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drainage must be planned with an adequate slope whenever the installation allows it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA poorly designed route can lead to drainage problems, unwanted noise or service calls that could have been avoided.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eForgetting about winter conditions around the outdoor unit\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our climate, the location of the outdoor unit must account for snow, ice, defrosting and the access required for maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstalling the unit too low or in an area where defrost water cannot drain properly can create problems precisely when the heat pump is under the greatest demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eConfusing “operates at -30°C” with “maintains its full capacity at -30°C”\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is probably one of the most common misinterpretations on heat pump specification sheets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe minimum operating temperature is important information, but it must always be considered in relation to the available heating capacity at the outdoor temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow we prepare a SENVILLE AURA 18,000

necessarily the most efficient configuration. A different solution, sometimes involving multiple zones, may provide a better distribution of comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould another heating system be kept?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt depends on the building and its heat load.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the SENVILLE AURA can operate down to \u003cstrong\u003e-30 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e, the decision to use a heat pump as the primary heating source should be based on the power actually required by the home on the coldest days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn some properties, the existing electric heating remains useful as a backup system. In others, the heat pump can handle a much larger proportion of the annual heating needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur goal is to size the system according to the building rather than present the minimum operating temperature as a universal heating guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a heat pump suitable for a bedroom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts noise level can drop as low as \u003cstrong\u003e27 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e at low speed, which is beneficial for installation in an environment where noise matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, its width of approximately \u003cstrong\u003e40.55 in.\u003c\/strong\u003e and its 18,000 BTU capacity must be taken into account. For a small individual bedroom, this capacity could be far too high.
