Mini-splits can be either ductless heat pump systems or air conditioners. Depending on the model, they allow you to heat and/or cool individual spaces in your household at optimal, energy-efficient levels. Central air systems, on the other hand, are equipped to handle the heating and cooling needs of an entire home using existing ductwork.

Inverter technology in a heat pump system helps you ensure overall energy efficiency in your home. It enables the HVAC unit to operate at variable speeds, allowing the compressor to run at optimal levels and avoid switching off completely. The heat pump system doesn’t need to wait for the air inside your home to match the outdoor temperature to activate. With inverter technology, you can reach your desired indoor temperature more quickly and even cut your energy consumption.

Depending on a retrofit or new installation, installing a Canair central air system with side discharge, which operates at very low noise levels thanks to its reliable inverter technology, can generally take up to a day’s work. Replacing an existing wall-mounted unit entails half a day’s work and doesn’t require any major clean-up.

Canair heat pumps, for both multizone and single zone use, and a Canair central air system with top discharge come with a 5-year warranty for the compressor and a 1-year warranty on parts. You can purchase additional warranty for these HVAC units (up to 10 years for the compressor and 10 years for parts).

A Canair central air system with side discharge, on the other hand, comes with a 10-year warranty for both the compressor and parts. You can also purchase a 10-year warranty on labour for this type of HVAC unit.

Efficiency is key. When compared to HAVC units that run on natural gas or oil furnaces, Canair heat pump systems, which run solely on electricity, have less of an impact on the environment and create fewer harmful emissions. Additionally, heat pumps use a third of the electricity used to operate traditional baseboard electric heaters. The bottom line: a heat pump is the better choice when it comes to sustainable comfort.

Canair offers a range of comprehensive HVAC systems specifically designed to meet the cooling and heating needs of today’s Canadian homeowners. Manufactured in China by the world’s number one air treatment equipment provider, each product is carefully chosen by Descair, a Quebec-based business that specializes in wholesale distribution of HVAC systems and parts, based on a well-defined selection criteria.

Introduced in 2021 by the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Canada Greener Homes Grant allows Quebec homeowners to retrieve some of the costs involved in retrofitting a heat pump system (up to $5,000 in incentives). Additionally, the provincial incentive programs Rénoclimat, Novoclimat and Chauffez vert, and Hydro-Quebec’s financial aid program, can help Quebec homeowners with the installation cost of a heat pump (up to $1,000). A licensed Canair HVAC contractor can help you select the right incentive-eligible unit for your home.
