Thermal comfort in the workplace is far more than a luxury: it's a crucial factor for performance, motivation, and well-being. At AirGreen, we understand just how much a reliable commercial heating system can transform a workspace in winter, especially in harsh climates like Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and the South Shore. The Québec winter is long and unforgiving — a poorly heated commercial building can quickly become a barrier to productivity and even employee health.
Why Thermal Comfort Is Essential in the Workplace
An environment that's too cold or poorly heated directly impacts focus, motivation, and staff efficiency. Studies show that employees working in indoor temperatures between 20°C and 23°C perform better, make fewer errors, and report a greater sense of satisfaction.
As a company specialized in commercial heating, we operate throughout the Greater Montréal area, installing systems tailored to the specific needs of each building — whether it's open-plan offices, multi-floor buildings, industrial facilities, or service centers.
Common Mistakes to Avoid in Commercial Heating
Failing to Properly Assess Heating Needs
Many businesses choose undersized systems, hoping to cut costs. The result? Overworked equipment, early wear and tear, and higher energy bills. At AirGreen, we always carry out a complete thermal load analysis, factoring in insulation, total area, ceiling height, and occupancy rates.
Skipping Regular Maintenance
Even the most efficient heating system loses effectiveness without professional maintenance. We offer custom HVAC maintenance plans to our commercial clients, ensuring their systems run smoothly all winter long.
Poor Air Distribution Planning
Even heat distribution is essential to avoid cold spots in office environments. Our teams design intelligent systems with diffusers, multi-zone thermostats, and variable airflow units, ensuring consistent comfort across every workspace.
Tailored Solutions for Québec Realities
Installation Example in Montréal: An Office Building on Saint-Denis Street
This past January, we were hired by a mid-sized accounting firm located in Montréal to overhaul their entire central heating system. The building, older but well renovated, included three floors totaling over 6,000 square feet.
After a detailed energy assessment, we installed a forced-air system by Bosch, model BOVA 60HDN1-M20G, paired with a high-efficiency heat pump Bosch BOVA IDS Premium 5-ton unit. This system uses R-454B refrigerant, known for its low environmental impact and superior energy efficiency, even in extreme temperatures (-25°C).
The results were immediate: employees reported a drastic improvement in comfort, and the company saw its energy consumption drop by nearly 22% over the first three months.
Available Grants and Rebates for Businesses
Thanks to the LogisVert program by Hydro-Québec, certain businesses can receive up to $5,000 in grants for installing a new high-efficiency heating system. Our experts handle the entire application process, from initial paperwork to technical validation. This allows our clients to focus on their operations while maximizing their return on investment.
The Direct Benefits of a Reliable Commercial Heating System
