Reducing energy costs, improving employee comfort, and preventing costly breakdowns — these are the real reasons why so many small businesses in Longueuil are choosing to proactively modernize their commercial heating systems. At AirGreen, we’ve helped several local companies take this strategic step by delivering custom HVAC solutions tailored to their actual needs, building layout, and budget.
Energy efficiency at the heart of Longueuil companies’ priorities
In Longueuil, winters can be harsh and long. This leads to heavy use of heating systems, which drives up energy costs and puts increased stress on aging equipment. For many small business managers, investing in modern solutions becomes essential to avoid breakdowns during peak winter months.
Preventive modernization allows them to:
-
Replace outdated units with high-performance equipment, such as energy-efficient systems from trusted brands like Bosch, Fujitsu, Goodman, or Gree.
-
Reduce power consumption thanks to intelligent modulating technologies, like those found in Bosch BOVA or FUJITSU Airstage central heat pump systems.
-
Access government grants, like Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program, which can cover a significant portion of installation costs.
Case study: Full commercial heating replacement for a small business in Vieux-Longueuil
A recent project completed by our team clearly illustrates the impact of such modernization. A small print company located in a 4,500 sq. ft. building in Vieux-Longueuil was experiencing frequent failures with its old gas-fired warm air system.
After a thorough needs assessment, we proposed:
-
Complete removal of the old gas furnace.
-
Installation of a Bosch IDS Premium central heat pump system (R-454b), with a capacity of 60,000 BTU, providing both heating and cooling.
-
A new modular ductwork network, adapted to the building’s existing layout.
-
Intelligent climate control via Wi-Fi thermostat with multi-zone sensors for consistent comfort in both the production and office areas.
Result: a 37% reduction in heating bills during the very first winter, and improved thermal comfort across all spaces.
Why act before problems arise?
Too often, small businesses postpone equipment replacement until a breakdown occurs. However, the coldest months also happen to be the busiest for HVAC contractors. This can result in:
-
Longer wait times for service.
-
Higher emergency repair costs.
-
Business interruptions if operations have to be temporarily halted.
By modernizing preventively, businesses stay in control: they can schedule the work outside of peak periods, compare technologies, take advantage of available financial assistance, and benefit from a smoother installation process with no service interruption.
Key factors for a successful modernization
At AirGreen, we recommend that Longueuil businesses take the following into account when planning a preventive upgrade:
-
The size and layout of the building.
-
Existing insulation, which affects the required system capacity.
-
Desired noise levels in offices or production areas.
-
Long-term operating costs, not just the upfront price of equipment.
-
Compatibility with existing systems, such as centralized thermostats or zoning controls.
Our certified technicians perform a comprehensive HVAC diagnostic before making any recommendations, to deliver a solution that’s both durable and scalable.
