A careful installation for four-season comfort in Laval
At AirGreen , we recently completed the installation of a Midea wall-mounted heat pump in a residence in the Sainte-Dorothée district of Laval , an area where temperature fluctuations require a high-performance, quiet, and durable HVAC system. This intervention perfectly illustrates our meticulous approach, combining technical expertise and aesthetic attention.
A residential project requiring discreet integration
The client wanted an energy-efficient solution that would reduce their electricity consumption while improving their comfort, both summer and winter. After a complete assessment of the home, we recommended installing a Midea 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump , known for its excellent performance-to-noise ratio and its ability to maintain a stable temperature even during Quebec winters.
The outdoor unit was installed on a raised wall platform , protected from snow accumulations, while ensuring optimal ventilation of the condenser. This configuration protects the system from ice and facilitates maintenance.
Installation Steps
1. Site analysis
First of all, our technicians analyzed the wall structure and the roof configuration , in order to determine the ideal location for fixing the metal support and the wall crossing. We took care to avoid any proximity to the gutters to prevent water infiltration or winter runoff.
2. Installation of the support and the condenser
The galvanized wall bracket was securely anchored into the supporting beams and then leveled for perfect stability. The Midea outdoor unit was then attached, respecting the necessary clearance distances to ensure optimal airflow around the fan .
3. Refrigeration and electrical connection
The insulated copper pipes were carefully routed through a discreet white conduit , following the contours of the building for a clean and professional result. The electrical connections were made according to the Canadian Electrical Code standards, with verification of the dedicated circuit breaker.
4. Vacuum and leak test
A crucial step: vacuuming the refrigeration circuit eliminated all traces of moisture or air. Our technicians then checked the pressure and refrigerant charge to ensure maximum efficiency.
5. Start-up and calibration
After startup, we performed a series of tests to measure airflow, discharge temperature, and compressor stability . The system demonstrated excellent performance, quickly reaching the set temperature without any noticeable variation.
An installation designed to last
The outdoor unit is placed on an anti-vibration mount that reduces operating noise, and its strategic positioning limits exposure to direct wind. The customer thus benefits from a silent, efficient and aesthetic system, which integrates perfectly with the facade of the house.
Our technicians also explained good maintenance practices to the owner:
-
Clean the internal filter regularly.
-
Clear the area around the condenser in winter.
-
Schedule an annual inspection to maintain warranty and performance.
Result: energy efficiency and optimal comfort
Thanks to this installation, the customer now benefits from:
-
A reduction in your electricity bill thanks to the high energy efficiency of the inverter compressor.
-
Constant thermal comfort , even in very cold weather.
-
Peace of mind knowing your system was installed by Midea certified and authorized technicians.
