What is the best multi-zone heat pump system for my home?
When purchasing a multi-zone heat pump system, it is important to understand that not all units are equal in terms of power and quality. It is important to choose a system that is adapted to climate.
Here are some important points to remember before buying a multi-zone heat pump.
The location and size of the space.
The size of your space is an important consideration when choosing an air conditioning system. It is important to ensure that the system can move enough air to maintain the desired temperature.
You should also consider the sun exposure of the space.
Insulation
Insulation is also important. Insulated homes use less energy because they can better maintain their temperature.

Energy efficiency – SEER
The cooling efficiency of your heat pump is measured by the SEER (Seasonal energy efficiency Ratio). The SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) of a heat pump is a measure of how efficiently it cools the air.
HSPF
The seasonal heating efficiency ratio, or HSPF, measures the efficiency of the heat pump. The heat pump uses less energy to heat a space if the HSPF is higher.
In warm climates, a higher SEER is essential. In colder climates, a higher HSPF is important. To ensure summer and winter comfort, we recommend a multi-zone heat pump with a SEER of at least 15 and an HSPF of 8.5.
There are many factors to consider when choosing a multi-zone heat pump. We can help you choose the right system for your needs.

Understand
The multi-zone heat pump system
The multi-zone heat pump system is equipped with heads (diffusers) and a heat pump.
The diffusers are placed on the interior walls of the home, generally one per floor. Note that there are different sizes and powers of heat pumps depending on the power required for the space to be heated and cooled.
Why choose a multi-zone heat pump system instead of a central system?
The multi-zone heat pump system is generally chosen, since it requires much less work than the central system and can be installed in both existing homes and new constructions.
It allows energy savings as well as installation costs. For existing homes, it is the most popular solution, since it is not necessary to open all the walls of the house to pass the air ducts in each room. We install the diffusers and that’s it!
It is recommended to have at least 1 diffuser per floor to ensure a balanced temperature throughout the home.
*The installation of a multi-zone heat pump system generally takes 1-2 hours per head.
Main advantages:
- Reduces electrical consumption for heating/cooling
- Quicker and less expensive installation
- Long life span
- Controls humidity in the house
- Quickly heats and cools room air
- Quiet (19 to 40 decibels indoors and 46 to 58 decibels outdoors)
Do I need to maintain my multi-zone heat pump system?
Yes. Like all systems, proper maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity of the unit. A multi-zone heat pump system continuously filters both the outdoor and indoor air in your home in order to maintain the desired temperature. As a result, dust and bacteria can accumulate and may cause the system to malfunction.
To ensure clean airflow and prevent system breakdowns, DuraClim recommends at least one maintenance service per year. A poorly maintained system generally consumes up to 25% more energy to deliver the same performance.
Why is it important to have your multi-zone heat pump installed by a qualified contractor?
Unfortunately, many heat pump systems are still installed by ‘unlicensed’ installers—meaning individuals who do not have the necessary qualifications or certifications to guarantee the work.
But what difference does it make, many customers ask? The biggest impact is on the warranty of the multi-zone heat pump system. If your system experiences a problem, whether minor or major, the first documents the manufacturer will request are proof that the installation was completed by a qualified contractor. Without this proof, the manufacturer will not be able to honor the equipment warranty.
Aside from the warranty, over the years we have had to replace many units that were improperly installed, resulting in premature wear and failure of the equipment.
Whether you choose DuraClim to install your multi-zone heat pump or another company, always make sure to select a qualified contractor with the required certifications.
How to choose the right number of BTUs for your multi-zone heat pump?
It is important to properly choose the BTU capacity required to heat and cool your home. A system that is too powerful can be just as uncomfortable as one that is undersized, which is why selecting the right capacity is essential.
All DuraClim advisors can guide you toward the option best suited to your specific needs and budget.
Below is an approximate chart of the recommended BTU capacity based on the area to be covered:
500 to 900 sq. ft. – 12,000 BTU
900 to 1,500 sq. ft. – 18,000 BTU
1,500 to 2,000 sq. ft. – 24,000 BTU
Please note that it is also common to install two smaller units in multi-level homes. For example, a 12,000 BTU unit on the main floor and a second 12,000 BTU unit on the upper floor.
