Your thermal comfort is essential—but never at the expense of peace and quiet. At AirGreen, we understand perfectly that noisy air conditioning systems can quickly become a daily annoyance, especially in commercial environments. That's why we've developed proven strategies to effectively reduce noise from your air conditioning systems, ensuring a peaceful, productive, and comfortable environment in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore, and the South Shore.
Why is Noise a Major Issue in Commercial Air Conditioning?
In commercial settings, air conditioning must be efficient yet discreet. Excessive noise from wall-mounted or central air conditioning units can distract employees, disturb customers, and significantly reduce the attractiveness of your premises. At AirGreen, we regularly observe that noisy installations lead to significant dissatisfaction, decrease employee productivity, and can even result in formal complaints.
That's why reducing noise is a central focus of our commercial air conditioning installations, guaranteeing our clients an exceptional, disturbance-free experience.
AirGreen’s Proven Strategies for Quiet Air Conditioning
Our approach to noise reduction is built around several key elements:
Rigorous Selection of Quiet Equipment
Choosing the right equipment is the first step toward discreet air conditioning. AirGreen consistently prioritizes brands recognized for low noise levels. Among our top choices are Fujitsu, Gree, Bosch, Trane, and Lennox, renowned for their advanced noise-reduction technology. For example, a Fujitsu KZAH R-32 wall-mounted heat pump rated at 24,000 BTU produces noise levels below 20 dB in quiet mode—virtually inaudible to the human ear.
Strategic Placement of Units
The precise placement of indoor and outdoor units is critical. Poor positioning can amplify vibrations and significantly increase perceived noise levels. AirGreen technicians are specially trained to identify optimal locations during each installation to minimize resonance and sound transmission throughout your premises.
Advanced Acoustic Insulation
Acoustic insulation is a crucial step often overlooked in typical commercial installations. AirGreen consistently uses high-performance soundproofing materials around outdoor units and anti-vibration supports to prevent structural noise from transmitting through walls or floors.
Case Study: Noise Reduction in a Commercial Installation in Laval
At AirGreen, every project is unique. Consider one of our recent installations in a business center located in Laval. The client, a financial services company, was receiving constant employee complaints about excessive noise from a CVAC system previously installed by a competitor.
Our AirGreen experts intervened quickly, precisely diagnosing the problem sources: poorly placed outdoor units, inadequate acoustic insulation, and an absence of appropriate anti-vibration supports. We replaced the old equipment with an exceptionally quiet and energy-efficient Bosch BIVA IDS Premium R-454b central heat pump rated at 36,000 BTU.
Thanks to careful installation of anti-vibration supports, specialized soundproofing insulation, and strategic reconfiguration of units, we successfully reduced measured noise by over 25 dB, dramatically transforming the work environment.
Common Mistakes to Avoid for Ensuring Quiet Air Conditioning
At AirGreen, our field experience has allowed us to identify several common mistakes you must absolutely avoid:
-
Neglecting acoustic impact when initially choosing equipment: Each appliance has a noise rating (in dB). Always select the quietest available equipment.
-
Improper installation of outdoor units: Placing these units too close to windows or high-traffic areas significantly increases auditory disturbances.
-
Forgetting acoustic insulation and anti-vibration supports: These technical details are essential for preventing structural noise from spreading throughout the building.
Avoiding these mistakes guarantees a comfortable and quiet environment from the start.
