Failure to be listed in the NRCan Searchable Product List
In Canada, all air-conditioning and heat-pump systems must be listed in the NRCan database. In fact, it is illegal to import or sell a unit that is not listed. At the time of this publication, March 16, 2026, Inspiron Air iAIRHP-35-WM-A cannot be located in the NRCan Searchable Product List.
As an amusing side note, while not being AHRI-listed at all, Inspiron Air places an AHRI text box at the top of each page of their brochure. Do they think that will actually fool people into thinking they are AHRI certified?!
Failure to meet NRCan Minimum Efficiency Requirements
Inspiron Air iAIRHP-35-WM-A has a claimed nominal cooling capacity of 12,000 BTU. Under federal law, any 12,000 BTU heat pump in this class must meet a 13.4 SEER2 or 9.3 CEER minimum to be legally sold, installed, or used in Canada. Inspiron Air misrepresents itself by publishing a 16.95 SEER rating, making it appear to comply; however, that rating is impossible and fake. This alone renders the units illegal.
Fraudulent and Fake Numbers
Inspiron Air misrepresents even the fake numbers it publishes for Inspiron Air iAIRHP-35-WM-A in both heating and cooling, as the math doesn’t add up.
Using Inspiron Air’s own watt input: 12,000 ÷ 1,150 = EER 10.43. Yet the Inspiron Air has an EER of 11.3. In heating, Inspiron Air still fails basic math.
Using their own watt input: 11,500 ÷ 3.412 (BTU to W) ÷ 1,050 = 3.21 COP. Yet Inspiron Air reports a 3.45 COP.
Inspiron Air is playing with the numbers. The numbers they published looked too good to be true, so they simply “dumbed down” the efficiency. When tested in a lab, the Inspiron Air iAIRHP-35-WM-A will not produce 12,000 BTU at a 16.95 SEER rating, as claimed. The actual numbers they claim are fake.
Regulatory Violation Summary
Inspiron Air — iAIRHP-35-WM-A
This product is illegal to distribute, specify, install, or use in the United States and Canada. Inspiron Air’s published efficiency numbers are fabricated, mathematically impossible, and use three separate illegal rating metrics — publishing SEER instead of SEER2, COP instead of HSPF2, and EER instead of SEER2 or CEER — none of which have been legally acceptable since January 1, 2023. The iAIRHP-35-WM-A fails to meet DOE and NRCan minimum efficiency requirements under every applicable classification.
One Million Dollar Guarantee
We back the statement that the Inspiron Air iAIRHP-35-WM-A cannot legally be sold, installed, or used in the United States with a One Million Dollar Guarantee.
Minimum Efficiency Requirements Not Met
These ratings cannot simply be invented. They must be established through testing in a genuine laboratory under the correct DOE and NRCan test procedures. Inspiron Air has not done this, and the data it publishes makes clear why.
Illegal Rating Metrics Uses
Publishing three separate retired or inapplicable metrics simultaneously is not a technicality or an oversight. SEER, EER, and COP were all replaced by mandatory legal requirements in 2023. Their continued use constitutes a deliberate misrepresentation of compliance status to customers, dealers, and regulators.
