AirZone HVAC Services is officially expanding its 2026 product lineup with two exciting, high-value additions for Ottawa homeowners: the ultra-quiet Moovair Maelys side-discharge air conditioner and the highly durable A.O. Smith Adapt SC X3 tankless water heater. By sourcing equipment backed by massive local supply houses, we are bringing our customers premium, high-efficiency technology—like variable-speed cooling and integrated scale prevention—at a highly competitive price point, all expertly installed by our certified local technicians.
Expanding Our 2026 Lineup: Premium Comfort, Better Pricing, Local Support
At AirZone HVAC Services, we are constantly evaluating the market to find the best possible equipment for our customers. We don’t just add products to our catalog to have more options; we specifically look for equipment that solves local Ottawa climate challenges, offers incredible reliability, and delivers an exceptional return on investment.
This year, we identified two specific gaps we wanted to fill for our customers.
First, we needed a cooling product that delivered the whisper-quiet, variable-speed comfort of a premium system, but at a price point that made choosing a dedicated air conditioner over a full heat pump an easy, budget-friendly decision.
Second, due to the massive local popularity of A.O. Smith water heaters, we wanted to expand our plumbing lineup with a next-generation tankless unit that completely eliminates the biggest threat to Ottawa hot water systems: hard water scale.
We are thrilled to officially introduce the Moovair Maelys and the A.O. Smith Adapt SC X3 to the AirZone family.
The Moovair Maelys: The Ultimate “Heat Pump Alternative” Air Conditioner
Over the last few years, heat pumps have dominated the conversation. However, for many homeowners whose primary goal is simply to upgrade their summer cooling without the higher upfront cost of a full cold-climate heat pump system, we needed a modern alternative.
Enter the Moovair Maelys.
This system completely changes what a standard air conditioner looks and sounds like. Instead of a massive, loud metal cube sitting in the middle of your backyard, the Maelys utilizes a sleek, slim side-discharge design.
Here is why this unit became our top AirZone Pick for 2026:
- Whisper-Quiet Operation: Operating at sound levels as low as 54 decibels (roughly the hum of a quiet refrigerator), it eliminates the loud rattling common with older top-discharge units. It is perfect for tight lot lines and smaller Ottawa backyards.
- Variable-Speed Inverter Technology: Older ACs simply blast at 100% and then shut off. The Maelys ramps up and down to match your exact cooling needs. This allows it to run longer at lower speeds, pulling significantly more muggy humidity out of your home while preventing temperature swings.
- Incredible Value: Offering up to 16 SEER2 efficiency, it delivers premium cooling and dehumidification starting at a highly competitive price point ($3,000 to $6,000, or from $35 per month).
The A.O. Smith Adapt SC X3: Flawless Endless Hot Water
Tankless water heaters are the ultimate luxury, providing endless hot water while lowering natural gas bills. But in Ottawa, they face two massive challenges: near-freezing winter groundwater and hard water calcium buildup.
To solve this, we looked to a brand with a legendary pedigree. A.O. Smith is the parent company of John Wood, meaning the A.O. Smith Adapt SC X3 Tankless comes from the exact same manufacturing lineage as the ultra-tough John Wood Pro Line tanks that local homeowners have trusted for decades.
Here is why we brought the X3 to Ottawa:
- Built-in X3® Scale Prevention Technology: Hard water scale is the number one cause of premature tankless failure. The X3 features integrated technology that actively protects the copper and stainless steel heat exchangers, extending the unit’s lifespan by up to 300% without needing bulky, expensive external filters.
- Massive Heating Power: When Ottawa municipal water drops to freezing temperatures in January, low-tier tankless units struggle to keep up. The Adapt SC X3 utilizes a massive 199,000 BTU input to easily combat freezing groundwater, ensuring your shower never goes cold.
- Ultra-Efficient: With a 0.95 UEF and ENERGY STAR® certification, it delivers on-demand comfort while keeping your utility bills firmly in check.
The “Local Support” Advantage
Anyone can sell a piece of HVAC equipment, but what happens if a sensor fails in three years?
One of the primary reasons we selected the Moovair Maelys and the A.O. Smith Adapt SC X3 is because both product lines have seen incredible adoption by our local Ottawa supply houses.
For you, this means two things:
- Our technicians receive highly specialized, top-tier factory training right here in the city.
- If you ever need a warranty repair, we have immediate, reliable access to replacement parts. We don’t have to fight international shipping delays to get your system back online.
As heavily experienced Moovair and A.O. Smith installers, we know that the performance of these high-tech systems relies entirely on the quality of the installation. Our licensed technicians ensure your side-discharge AC is perfectly calibrated, and your tankless heater is safely vented and sized to local gas codes.
