Heat Pump Installation in Saint-Léonard: What You Need to Know
Hello dear resident of Saint-Léonard,
At AirGreen, we take pride in providing you with top-quality services for the installation of heat pumps and air conditioning units. Before embarking on your project, it's crucial to be aware of the specific rules and regulations in your borough. Here's a detailed guide to help you navigate these guidelines:
1. Installation Permit:
- It's mandatory to obtain a permit for the installation of a permanent heat pump or air conditioning unit.
- Adhering to the urban planning regulations is essential for all installations.
2. For residential buildings with 5 units or fewer:
- Installation in the front yard is strictly prohibited.
- For other yards, please note the following criteria:
- The unit must be positioned at a minimum distance of 1 meter from the property boundaries.
- If your property is located at the intersection of two public roads, it's necessary to consult the permit counter.
3. For residential buildings with 6 units or more:
- Central units can be installed on the roof or inside the building.
- Installation on balconies is allowed, provided the units are not visible from the street.
4. For commercial or industrial buildings:
- Central units are permitted on the roof or inside the building.
- Before starting your project, we strongly recommend contacting the borough to ensure your installation complies with regulations.
5. Removable air conditioning units:
- These units can be installed without the need for a permit.
6. Fees (taxes included):
- Single-family home: $155
- Residential building with 5 units or fewer: $155

7. Documents required for the permit application:

- A detailed description of the planned works.
- A site plan showing existing and proposed elements: location of constructions, dimensions of setbacks, and yards.
- An estimate of the cost of the works.
Important Note: While we are always available to guide and assist you throughout the process, it is your responsibility to ensure the installation complies with regulations, to obtain necessary agreements from your neighbors if required, and to secure the appropriate permit. Unless otherwise specified in our contract, obtaining the permit is your responsibility. However, rest assured that we are always here to support and guide you at every step of your project.
Thank you for your trust, and we look forward to working with you to make your home even more comfortable.
Warm regards,
The AirGreen Team.
