A breath of serenity in the heart of Montreal: a discreet AirGreen wall-mounted air conditioner installation in a space where silence is essential
In a yoga studio in the Plateau-Mont-Royal, the peaceful and focused atmosphere was being disrupted by an outdated, noisy air conditioning system that no longer met the space’s needs. Between guided meditation sessions, deep relaxation classes, and the constant need for thermal comfort, the studio’s team was looking for a solution that was efficient, silent, and reliable. That’s when they reached out to AirGreen, a trusted expert in custom HVAC installation in Montreal, to restore harmony in their practice environment.
A Clear Need: Effective Cooling Without Noise in a Sensitive Space
A Demanding Environment
The studio, located in a mixed-use building, welcomes dozens of people each week in search of well-being. The indoor environment needed to be:
-
Silent at all times, even during heatwaves,
-
Evenly tempered, with no drafts or cold zones,
-
Free from mechanical vibrations that could disturb the practice.
The previous system, an old 10,000 BTU unit poorly maintained, caused:
-
High noise levels,
-
Disruptive on-off cycling,
-
Excessive energy consumption,
-
And most importantly, recurring complaints from attendees.
Our Recommendation: A Silent, High-Performance, and Seamlessly Integrated Unit
Choosing the Right Unit
After an on-site technical evaluation, our team recommended installing a Fujitsu 12,000 BTU Inverter wall-mounted air conditioner, a model known for:
-
Its near-silent operation (19 dB sound level),
-
Its Inverter technology ensuring consistent temperature control,
-
Its high energy efficiency (high SEER rating),
-
Its discreet design that blended perfectly with the studio’s white walls.
Grant Eligibility
This model is eligible for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program, allowing the client to obtain a $1,275 subsidy, which significantly reduced the net cost of the installation.
A Quiet and Controlled Installation Process
Preparing the Site
Since access to the space was limited to studio closing hours (1 p.m. to 4 p.m.), we scheduled a fast and quiet intervention:
-
Protection of the laminate wood floors,
-
Installation of dust barriers to safeguard yoga mats and accessories,
-
Careful coordination with management to avoid any disruption.
Wall Installation
We drilled the exterior brick wall using a low-vibration coring system. The refrigerant and electrical lines were run cleanly inside the wall with white, discreet casings. The Fujitsu outdoor unit was mounted on an anti-vibration wall bracket at the rear of the building, out of sight and earshot.
Commissioning
Once the wall unit was installed:
-
We tested the sound level at full power (result: < 22 dB),
-
Calibrated the temperature to a steady 22°C,
-
Programmed operating schedules via the smart remote,
-
Provided the staff with a tutorial on optimal operation and basic HVAC maintenance.
Results: Return to Calm and Complete Satisfaction
From the very first sessions after installation, instructors noticed:
-
A perfectly tempered ambiance in the studio,
-
No perceptible noise, even during deep relaxation poses,
-
Zero vibrations, even on shared walls.
One studio manager shared:
“It feels like there’s no air conditioning at all, and yet the room is always perfect. AirGreen understood our needs better than anyone.” – Myriam, Montreal
