Enhancing Workplace Comfort Without Noise: A Priority in Modern Offices
In today’s professional spaces across Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and the South Shore, employee concentration is often put to the test. While ambient temperature and air quality play a vital role in day-to-day well-being, the noise level of an air conditioning system becomes a critical factor that is too often overlooked. At AirGreen, we fully understand how a silent air conditioning system can completely transform the workplace dynamic by boosting productivity and fostering a calm environment for every team member.
Why is silence essential in an office space?
Ambient noise, even at a low level, can affect focus, cognitive processing, and overall comfort. Noisy air conditioning units often create a constant background noise that’s distracting—or even irritating—especially in open-concept or shared office environments.
The impact of noisy air conditioning on productivity
-
Increased mental fatigue caused by disrupted concentration
-
Lower motivation to stay focused in an uncomfortable environment
-
Hindered communication between colleagues
-
Heightened stress levels, especially during hotter months
At AirGreen, we frequently work in offices throughout Montréal and surrounding regions where business owners seek professional air conditioning solutions that are not only efficient and high-performing, but also ultra-quiet.
Our expertise in quiet commercial air conditioning systems
Our solutions are tailored to every kind of professional environment. We select HVAC systems not only based on their energy performance but also for their sound emission levels.
Preferred models for ultra-quiet operation
Here are a few of the systems we often recommend to office managers:
-
FUJITSU KZAH R-32: Known for its whisper-quiet operation, compact design, and discreet presence. This model is ideal for open offices or small meeting rooms. It delivers exceptional energy efficiency with a SEER rating above 21, all while operating at sound levels as low as 21 dB.
-
Bosch BOVA BOVA36HDN1-M20G: Frequently installed in professional buildings in Laval or Longueuil, this central heat pump delivers steady comfort, thanks to a variable-speed compressor that is remarkably quiet.
-
GOODMAN R-32 Multipo: Widely used in our installations across the South Shore, this model is appreciated for its great value and its design specifically engineered to minimize vibration noise.
Real-world example: Office installation in Ville Saint-Laurent, Montréal
One of our clients, a design agency located in Ville Saint-Laurent, contacted us to replace an old, noisy split system that disrupted their brainstorming sessions. After conducting a thorough analysis of their space, we recommended a 12,000 BTU FUJITSU KZAH R-32 wall-mounted heat pump.
Installation process
-
Initial diagnostic: evaluation of existing noise disturbances and space measurements
-
Unit placement optimization to minimize acoustic reflections
-
Mounted on anti-vibration pads, to reduce mechanical sounds to a minimum
-
Aesthetically integrated ducting to preserve the office’s interior design
-
Final acoustic testing with a decibel meter to confirm that the unit runs under 25 dB, equivalent to a whisper
Since the installation, the client has reported a significant reduction in distractions and a noticeable improvement in team focus.
Other elements to consider for a quiet and comfortable office
Regular HVAC maintenance
A quiet air conditioning system only stays that way with regular maintenance. Dust buildup, loose components, or aging belts can create unwanted mechanical vibrations. That’s why we offer custom commercial HVAC maintenance contracts, tailored to the building’s size and usage.
Soundproofing materials
In some installations—especially in shared office spaces on the North Shore—we’ve also installed acoustic wall panels or soundproof enclosures around outdoor units, to reduce echo from building surfaces.
Choose variable-speed systems
Inverter or modulating compressor systems offer gradual power adjustment, which eliminates loud startup sounds and ensures a softer, smoother overall operation.

-
Enhanced professional image of the business
