Dear Residents of Ville de Montréal-Est,
We are AirGreen, your trusted partner for all your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) needs. We understand that each borough has its unique rules and regulations, and we are here to guide you through those specific to Ville de Montréal-Est.
Air Conditioning Equipment and Heat Pumps
- Installation Permission: Devices such as air conditioners, heat pumps, heating and ventilation equipment, generators, and similar equipment are permitted in all yards.
- Minimum Distance: These devices must be installed at a minimum distance of 2 meters from any property line.
Tanks and Similar Equipment
- Location: Tanks, canisters, and similar equipment are only permitted in side and rear yards.
- Minimum Distance: They must be placed at a minimum distance of 1 meter from any property line.
Landscaping and Concealment
- Visibility: Any equipment permanently installed in the front or side yard must be concealed by opaque landscaping. This ensures the equipment is not visible from the street, thereby maintaining the aesthetic of your property and the neighborhood.
