Hello dear resident of Lachine,
We are AirGreen, your trusted partner for all your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) needs in Greater Montreal. We understand that each borough has its unique characteristics, and we are here to guide you through the regulations specific to Lachine.
Lachine Rules for Installing Heat Pumps and Air Conditioners:
-
No Permit Required: In Lachine, you do not need a specific permit to install a heat pump or an air conditioner. This simplifies the process, allowing you to quickly enjoy your new equipment.
-
Compliance with Urban Regulations: Although no permit is required, the installation must comply with local urban planning regulations. These rules are in place to ensure harmonious cohabitation within the community.
-
Authorized Locations: Installations are only permitted in the yards located at the rear and side of buildings. Furthermore, they must be positioned at a minimum distance of 2 meters from your property boundaries. This measure aims to minimize inconvenience to your neighbors and maintain the aesthetic of the neighborhood.
For Removable Devices:
- Front Installation Allowed: You are free to install removable air conditioning units on the facade of your building. These devices are often easier to install and move as needed.
Devices on Balconies:
- Maximum Dimensions: For devices installed on balconies, please adhere to the following maximum dimensions: 85 cm in length, 40 cm in width, and 100 cm in height. These limits are imposed to ensure the safety and comfort of all.
