City of Laval : Get a permit to install a heat pump or air conditioning unit
Dear Residents of the City of Laval,
We are AirGreen, your trusted partner for all your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) needs. We understand that each area has its unique characteristics, and with this in mind, we wish to enlighten you on the rules and regulations in place in Laval regarding the installation of heat pumps and air conditioners.
Air Conditioning Devices in Laval
In Laval, air conditioning devices encompass various types of equipment, including heat pumps, central air conditioners, bi-block air conditioners, and wall-mounted air conditioners. These devices are designed either to cool your residence or to heat your swimming pool’s water.
Laval-sur-le-Lac Sector
If you reside in the sector of the former municipality of Laval-sur-le-Lac, it is imperative to contact the Urban Planning Service. Indeed, specific rules apply to this area, and it is your responsibility to comply with them.
Water-Cooled Air Conditioners
It is important to note that the use of water-cooled air conditioners is strictly prohibited in Laval. For more information on devices that continuously use potable water, we invite you to consult the dedicated page on the official city website.
Procedures and Standards
- Permits: No permit is required to install, move, or modify an air conditioning device in Laval. However, as a property owner, you must ensure that your installation complies with the standards set by the L-2000 zoning regulation.
- Non-compliance: If your installation does not meet these standards, the Urban Planning Service may require corrections. Failure to meet the requirements may result in fines, as stipulated in the regulation.
- Emission Reduction: The City of Laval is actively committed to fighting climate change. In this perspective, a free home collection service for refrigerant devices, including air conditioners, is offered to residents.
Your Responsibility
While we at AirGreen are always available to guide and assist you in your endeavors, it is crucial to understand that the responsibility to ensure the installation complies with the rules and to obtain neighbors’ agreement when necessary, falls on you, unless otherwise stated in our contract.
