A discreet and efficient installation for four-season comfort
At AirGreen , we understand that every HVAC installation project must blend harmoniously with the building's aesthetics while ensuring optimal energy efficiency. This project in Saint-Bruno , on Montreal's South Shore, perfectly illustrates our approach: an LG wall-mounted heat pump installed on the brick facade of a century-old house, combining character and modern efficiency.
The context: modernize without distorting
The owner wanted to replace an old electric backup heating system with a more economical and environmentally friendly solution . His main criterion: preserve the exterior appearance of the red brick wall typical of houses in the area, while benefiting from the comfort of a four-season heat pump.
After assessing the home's thermal needs, our team recommended installing an LG Art Cool series wall-mounted heat pump —known for its reliability, quietness, and high efficiency, even at -25°C.
Step 1: Technical study and site preparation
Before any installation, our technicians carried out:
-
A thermal load analysis to adequately size the unit's power (12,000 BTU, adapted to the surface area of the ground floor and first floor);
-
An inspection of the masonry in order to choose the optimal location of the compressor, minimizing vibrations and visual impacts;
-
Planning the passage of the refrigeration duct and the drainage line , taking care to avoid any water infiltration into the brick.
The installation was carefully planned to maintain the symmetry of the façade and comply with Saint-Bruno municipal aesthetic standards.
Step 2: Installing the outdoor condenser
The outdoor unit was fixed on galvanized wall brackets , 30 cm from the ground to avoid direct contact with snow and winter humidity.
For perfect insulation:
-
The copper refrigeration pipes were sleeved and sealed with heat shrink tape;
-
The electrical wiring has been integrated into a discreet sheath in a color matching the brick;
-
A drainage outlet with a natural slope has been installed to prevent freezing in winter.
Step 3: Interior Installation and Calibration
Inside, the wall unit has been placed at a strategic height to ensure even air distribution throughout the main room.
Our technicians then:
-
Checked the R410A refrigerant charge level ;
-
Performed a nitrogen leak test ;
-
And finalized the vacuum draw to ensure a hermetic circuit before starting up.
Once the system was activated, the blowing temperature was measured at 6°C in cooling mode – perfect performance from the first use.
Step 4: Results and Customer Satisfaction
The customer immediately noticed:
-
An almost imperceptible noise , both inside and outside;
-
Constant thermal stability ;
-
And above all, a reduction in electricity consumption of around 30% compared to its old heating system.
Thanks to the performance of the LG heat pump , the house now benefits from lasting comfort, summer and winter.
