We are AirGreen, your trusted partner for HVAC solutions in the Greater Montreal area. We understand that each borough has its unique characteristics, and we are here to guide you through the local regulations regarding the installation of heat pumps and air conditioning units.

No Permit Required

Fortunately, in your borough, no permit is needed for the installation of a heat pump or an air conditioning unit, whether permanent or removable. However, it is imperative to comply with the existing urban planning regulations.

    • Depth: 40 cm
    • Height: 75 cm
    • Width: 100 cm
  • If your property is located at the intersection of two streets, please visit the Permit Counter for information specific to your case.

  • The building must have at least 4 dwellings.
  • The dwelling should not have other balconies or terraces.
  • Only one device is allowed per dwelling.
