Creating a comfortable and climate-controlled atmosphere in a beauty salon is more than just a matter of comfort — it’s a true tool for client retention, customer well-being, and professional performance. In Montreal, a beauty salon owner turned to AirGreen, specialists in commercial HVAC installation, to transform the customer experience with a high-performance wall-mounted air conditioning solution. Here’s a look back at this emblematic installation that perfectly reflects our meticulous, people-focused, and results-driven approach.
A beauty salon in Montreal in search of a reliable HVAC solution
In the heart of the Rosemont neighborhood in Montreal, a well-established beauty salon was facing recurring air conditioning issues, particularly during the summer heat. The old AC units were noisy and inefficient, negatively impacting both the comfort of clients and the operation of salon equipment.
The owner, eager to provide a premium experience to her clientele, requested a technical evaluation of her needs. At AirGreen, we began with an on-site assessment, considering the building’s layout, the workstations, sun exposure, and peak customer flow throughout the day.
Technical analysis and choice of equipment
Following our assessment, our team recommended the installation of an 18,000 BTU FUJITSU wall-mounted air conditioner, a unit known for its quiet performance, energy efficiency, and long-term reliability. This particular model offered several benefits for commercial use:
-
Inverter technology for stable and consistent performance
-
Ultra-quiet operation, ideal for the calm ambiance of salons
-
Advanced air filtration to purify indoor air and reduce fine particles
-
High energy efficiency, eligible for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert subsidies
The selected air conditioner was also a perfect match for medium-sized commercial spaces, striking the right balance between cooling power and discreet design.
Technical challenges of installing in a commercial space
Installing in a commercial beauty salon always comes with specific challenges:
-
Tight intervention schedule to avoid disrupting business hours
-
Aesthetic requirements for seamless integration into a stylish interior
-
Compliance with commercial safety and ventilation standards
At AirGreen, we scheduled the installation for a Monday — the salon’s day off — to complete all the work without impacting clients. The outdoor unit was installed on the rear rooftop, out of sight and safe from tampering, while the indoor unit was strategically positioned above the styling stations.
A turnkey service with flawless finishing
Our service included:
-
Precise drilling and sealing of the wall for piping
-
Installation of a reinforced wall bracket for the indoor unit
-
System calibration to ensure even comfort throughout
-
Complete cleanup of the work area before returning the keys
-
A quick training session for the owner on the remote functions, temperature settings, and maintenance cycles
In less than a day, the salon was ready to reopen with a refreshed, well-controlled, and properly ventilated atmosphere.
Results: Instant comfort and happy clients
Just hours into using the new system, the owner noticed several improvements:
-
Consistent room temperature even with multiple dryers and appliances in use
-
Reduced ambient noise, allowing stylists to better communicate with clients
-
No lingering cosmetic product odors, thanks to better air circulation
The owner even saw an increase in customer satisfaction and visit length. “My clients are telling me the atmosphere feels calmer and more comfortable,” she shared with us a week after the installation.
Eligibility for LogisVert subsidies
Thanks to the installation of this ENERGY STAR-certified unit with eco-friendly R-32 refrigerant, the salon qualified for a Hydro-Québec LogisVert subsidy. Our team supported the owner through every administrative step, from the initial request to the final payment, for a total of $1,704.
