Enhancing Agricultural Production with High-Performance HVAC Systems
At AirGreen, we're witnessing growing demand from modern agricultural operations for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems tailored specifically to their unique needs. Across Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore, farms are turning toward advanced ventilation solutions to maximize productivity, enhance product quality, and protect their investments. But what's driving this enthusiasm? What concrete benefits do high-performance HVAC systems offer to agricultural settings? Here's why so many farms are investing heavily in these solutions today.
Improved Indoor Climate Management for Increased Productivity
In agricultural environments such as greenhouses, livestock farms, and storage facilities, precise temperature and humidity control is crucial. A high-performance ventilation system, such as those installed by AirGreen in farms throughout the Montréal metropolitan area, allows precise management of indoor climate parameters.
For example, we recently installed a Bosch BOVA R-454b central heat pump at a farm in Laval specialized in greenhouse vegetable production. This installation stabilized indoor temperatures at an optimal 22°C while effectively controlling ambient humidity at 60%. As a result, the farm saw its yields increase by nearly 20% in the first season after installation.
Protecting Crops and Livestock through Optimal Ventilation
The health of livestock and the quality of crops depend directly on indoor air quality. Insufficient or improperly calibrated ventilation can lead to mold, bacteria, or other harmful pathogens affecting crops and animals. Our HVAC installations address every detail to ensure efficient air renewal and minimize health risks.
For instance, we equipped a large poultry farm in Longueuil with a Zephyr centralized mechanical ventilation system specifically designed for sensitive agricultural environments. By providing constant air renewal, this system significantly reduced ammonia levels, improving animal welfare and substantially decreasing economic losses related to respiratory illnesses in livestock.
Significant Energy Savings with High-Efficiency Equipment
Investing in a modern HVAC system also allows agricultural operations to achieve substantial energy savings. Equipment offered by AirGreen, such as high-efficiency models from Fujitsu, Goodman, or Bosch, significantly reduces electricity consumption, which can be notably high in agricultural settings.
Recently, a dairy farm located on the North Shore hired our services to install a Fujitsu KZAH R-32 central heat pump. This solution reduced the farm's overall energy bill by nearly 35%, while also benefiting from substantial subsidies through Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program.
Why Modern Agricultural Operations Trust AirGreen
Specialized Expertise Tailored to Agricultural Challenges
Every agricultural HVAC installation presents unique technical challenges. Climate management in agriculture requires specialized skills to meet strict requirements regarding temperature, humidity, and air quality. Our team possesses extensive experience addressing agricultural sector needs, adapting each project to local farm realities.
During a recent installation in a commercial greenhouse on the South Shore, our team overcame a complex challenge: integrating a Goodman R-32 HVAC system while minimizing impact on cultivable space. Through ingenious design and careful installation, we optimized available space, allowing the farmer to maximize growing areas without sacrificing climate control efficiency.
HVAC Systems Eligible for Attractive Subsidies
Another key benefit motivating agricultural operations to invest in HVAC systems is the availability of numerous subsidies offered by governments and organizations such as Hydro-Québec. AirGreen assists clients in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, and surrounding areas in navigating these programs, making it easier to finance their energy improvement projects.
For example, a recent installation of a Bosch IDS Premium BIVA R-454b heat pump at a Montréal farm allowed our client to obtain a $2,200 LogisVert subsidy, significantly lowering the upfront installation cost.
Quick and Measurable Return on Investment
Modern HVAC systems installed by AirGreen ensure rapid return on investment thanks to increased productivity, reduced losses from illnesses, and substantial energy cost savings. Indeed, the savings on operating expenses often cover the initial investment within just a few years.
A client managing a nursery in Longueuil recently told us: "Since installing our new ventilation system, we've not only improved production quality but also experienced a significant drop in energy costs in just the first year."
