Important Information Regarding Heat Pump Installation in the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension Borough

Dear Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension residents,

At AirGreen, we take pride in serving you and assisting with your heat pump or air conditioning installation projects. To provide you with top-notch service while adhering to the rules in place, we'd like to inform you of the specific regulations for your borough.

1. Installation Permit:

  • Before proceeding with the installation of a heat pump or a permanent air conditioning unit, it's essential to obtain a permit from the appropriate authorities.

2. Approved Locations:

  • Installing these devices in the front yard of your building is prohibited.
  • For other outdoor areas, the unit must be positioned at least 1 meter away from your property boundaries.

3. Flat Roof Installation: If you're considering an installation on the flat roof of your building, please adhere to the following criteria:

  • The unit must be located at least 2 meters away from a non-adjoining parapet.
  • It should also be set back from the facade by a distance equal to twice its height.

4. Removable Air Conditioning Units:

  • Good news! Installing this type of unit on a building's facade is permitted without the need for a permit.

5. Permit Validity:

  • The permit obtained for installing a heat pump or a permanent air conditioning unit is valid for 18 months. It's important to note that installation work should commence within the first 12 months of obtaining the permit.

Your Responsibility: We'd like to emphasize that while we're always by your side to guide and advise, it's the client's responsibility to ensure compliance with all prevailing rules and to secure the agreement of neighbors if required. Unless otherwise specified in our contract, obtaining the permit remains the client's responsibility. However, rest assured that we're always here to assist and guide you at every step of your project.

Thank you for your trust, and we look forward to collaborating with you to make your home even more comfortable.

Warm regards,

The AirGreen Team.
