Commercial air conditioning is absolutely essential in the food industry. A poor choice or faulty installation can quickly lead to catastrophic losses. At AirGreen, we recently intervened at a grocery store located in Laval, where inadequate air conditioning caused significant losses of fresh products, seriously threatening the store’s profitability.
The Alarming Situation of Inadequate Air Conditioning in a Grocery Store
The grocery store in question, located on Montréal’s North Shore, had been facing serious issues for several weeks with its commercial air conditioning system, an outdated and inefficient unit that could no longer maintain a consistent temperature. In the middle of summer, brutal temperature fluctuations quickly led to rapid deterioration of fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy products, causing major financial losses.
By the time we were contacted by the owners, the situation had become critical. It was imperative to act quickly and replace the old system with a reliable, high-performance unit.
Direct Impact on Profitability: An Eye-Opening Testimonial
According to the grocery store’s owner, each day spent with faulty equipment was costly in terms of discarded products, dissatisfied customers, and damage to their reputation:
“Every morning, we would arrive anxiously to see how much damage had occurred overnight. The losses had become unbearable. We needed an immediate solution.”
It’s essential to understand that in the food industry, each temperature fluctuation poses an immediate threat to perishable products. Poor commercial air conditioning isn't just uncomfortable—it poses serious financial and operational risks.
AirGreen’s Intervention: Thorough Diagnosis and Rapid Solutions
Upon arriving, our HVAC experts conducted a comprehensive evaluation of the existing installation. It quickly became evident that the current air conditioning was undersized and at the end of its lifespan. We recommended and installed a tailored solution precisely adapted to the grocery store’s specific needs:
-
Gree U-Match R-32 Commercial Air Conditioning
-
Model: Gree U-Match Inverter
-
Capacity: 48,000 BTU
-
Energy Efficiency: SEER 21, highly efficient
-

This advanced air conditioning technology ensures stable indoor temperature regulation, even during extreme heat, thus optimally preserving fresh products.
Technical Challenges and Installation Strategies Adopted by AirGreen
The primary challenge of this installation was the extremely tight timeframe: every additional day represented significant losses for the grocery store. At AirGreen, we immediately assembled a dedicated team to carry out the rapid and efficient installation:
-
Precise thermal needs assessment: careful sizing of the equipment according to the store’s volume and layout.
-
Rapid installation: completed within 48 hours following the initial diagnostic.
-
Optimized positioning: strategically placing indoor units to ensure uniform and consistent temperature distribution.
Thanks to our responsiveness and technical expertise, we minimized operational disruptions, allowing the grocery store to quickly return to normal operations.
Immediate Return on Investment for the Laval Grocery Store
The positive impacts were immediately noticeable upon activation of the new Gree U-Match system. The stabilized temperature immediately halted fresh product losses, restored customer trust, and prevented further revenue losses.
The owners expressed their relief and satisfaction following our rapid and effective intervention:
“We never imagined that high-quality commercial air conditioning could have such an immediate positive impact on our business. AirGreen truly saved our grocery store!”
