An Exceptional AirGreen Installation Saves Animals at a Longueuil Shelter During a Historic Heat Wave
The extreme heat wave that recently swept across the Longueuil area put the safety and health of animals housed in a well-known local shelter at serious risk. At AirGreen, we were urgently called in to respond to this critical situation. Our swift intervention, combined with the installation of a high-end wall-mounted air conditioner, not only ensured the comfort of the animals but also protected their lives. Here is how we successfully rose to this challenging occasion.
The Climate Emergency in Longueuil: A Serious Threat to Animal Shelters
The Troubling Reality of Extreme Temperatures
Extreme heat waves that regularly strike the Greater Montreal region—including Longueuil, Laval, the North Shore, and the South Shore—can have dramatic consequences for animal shelters. Unlike humans, animals cannot easily regulate their body temperature. Therefore, a cool and air-conditioned environment becomes vital.
When the animal shelter located in the Vieux-Longueuil borough contacted us, indoor temperatures had already exceeded 35 degrees Celsius, immediately endangering more than fifty animals, primarily dogs and cats.
Why a High-End Wall-Mounted Air Conditioner Was Essential
Following a swift site visit, our AirGreen team immediately identified critical needs: a powerful, reliable solution that could be installed quickly. We therefore recommended installing a Gree Extreme 24000 BTU wall-mounted air conditioner. This high-performance appliance offers:
-
Exceptional energy efficiency (SEER rating of 24.5)
-
Rapid and uniform cooling of large spaces
-
Eligibility for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert subsidies thanks to the eco-friendly R-32 refrigerant
Technical and Logistical Challenges Successfully Overcome by AirGreen in Longueuil
Rapid Installation in a Difficult Context
Installing a wall-mounted air conditioner in an active animal shelter involves unique challenges:
-
Constantly maintaining the safety and well-being of animals during installation
-
Complex logistics due to the need to complete the work swiftly and efficiently
-
Technical adjustments required by the shelter's older infrastructure, dating back several years
Our experienced team of technicians flawlessly coordinated the operation, completing the entire installation in just half a day, without any major disturbances to the animals or shelter staff.
Efficient Management of Space and Technical Constraints
The size and layout of the shelter's premises required a perfectly tailored installation. The Gree Extreme 24000 BTU wall-mounted air conditioner was strategically positioned to ensure optimal and uniform cooling throughout the entire building.
We also overcame several technical constraints related to aging walls and existing electrical systems, thanks to our extensive expertise in HVAC installations in buildings of all sizes and configurations in Longueuil and throughout the South Shore.
Immediate and Long-Lasting Results Achieved by AirGreen
Rapid and Effective Cooling
Just a few hours after installing the high-end Gree Extreme 24000 BTU wall-mounted air conditioner, the shelter's indoor temperature dropped to a safe level of 23 degrees Celsius. This rapid cooling allowed the animals to immediately regain a safe and comfortable environment, permanently eliminating the risks of heatstroke or thermal stress.
Energy Savings and Long-Term Financial Benefits
The use of a modern, high-performance wall-mounted air conditioner like the Gree Extreme also enables the Longueuil shelter to achieve significant savings on its annual energy bill. Due to the chosen model’s high energy efficiency and eligibility for Hydro-Québec's LogisVert subsidies, the shelter will be able to reinvest these savings directly into animal welfare.
A Concrete Testimonial: Immediate Satisfaction from the Animal Shelter
Following our intervention, the director of the Longueuil animal shelter shared this feedback with us:
“We were genuinely concerned for our animals when the heat wave hit. AirGreen’s speed and professionalism were exemplary. Their choice of a wall-mounted air conditioner perfectly suited to our needs literally saved us. We highly recommend their services to all similar establishments in the Longueuil area.”
