A CVAC Installation Marathon in the Rain: How Our Team Overcame the Elements to Satisfy 5 Clients in a Single Day
At AirGreen, every day brings its share of challenges, but this one will be remembered for a long time by our team. In Laval, on a summer Thursday with unpredictable weather, our technicians were called on to achieve a real feat: installing five wall-mounted air conditioners in different homes, all in a single day, while a violent thunderstorm swept across the region.
In this article, we’ll take you behind the scenes of this exceptional CVAC intervention, involving precise coordination, technical mastery, and quick thinking in the face of the unexpected. A real testament to our ability to deliver top-quality service even under extreme conditions.
A Precise Schedule… Disrupted Right From the Morning
This day had been planned weeks in advance. Five homes were scheduled to be equipped with wall-mounted air conditioners in various areas of Laval: Chomedey, Fabreville, Vimont, Duvernay, and Sainte-Rose.
Units scheduled:
-
3 x Gree Lomo 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pumps
-
1 x Fujitsu ASYG12KMCC wall-mounted air conditioner
-
1 x Sharp ZU1 9,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump
The goal? Complete all installations before 6 p.m., without compromising on quality, aesthetics, or safety.
But at 7:45 a.m., the weather suddenly changed. Thunderstorms were forecasted for the entire day, with wind gusts and intermittent rain.
Seamless Team Coordination
At AirGreen, we believe weather should never inconvenience our clients. So our three teams quickly adjusted their strategy:
-
Strategic route planning by geographic sector to reduce travel time
-
Use of protective tents and special tarps for the outdoor units
-
Prioritization of indoor installations during heavy rainfall
-
Constant communication between technicians and our head office in Montreal
First Installation in Chomedey: Speed and Precision
The first client had been waiting several weeks for their Gree Lomo heat pump. Despite a light drizzle, the unit was installed in 1 hour and 50 minutes:
-
Indoor wall mounting on a gypsum wall
-
Lines passed to the outside through a wind-protected corner
-
Outdoor unit placed on a slab that the client had prepared in advance
Result: Immediate comfort, with no splashes or messy work.
Second and Third Installations: Adaptation and Efficiency
In Fabreville, a Fujitsu ASYG12KMCC needed to be integrated into an open-concept living room. Chosen for its quiet performance and energy efficiency, the unit was installed during heavy rain thanks to our jobsite tent and waterproof tools.
In Vimont, another Gree Lomo was mounted in a child’s bedroom. The rain had let up, allowing for a clean, fast outdoor setup.
Total cumulative time: 4 hours. Our technicians moved from site to site without breaks, keeping the same level of precision and care.
Fourth Installation in Duvernay: An Unexpected Obstacle
At the fourth home, a surprise awaited: the client hadn’t cleared the space for the indoor unit. Furniture and frames were blocking the wall.
We:
-
Temporarily reorganized the space with the client’s approval
-
Slightly adjusted the drilling angle to avoid an exposed electrical conduit
-
Completed the installation with only a 45-minute delay
The Sharp ZU1 9,000 BTU, known for its compact size and strong performance in tight spaces, was the perfect fit.
Fifth and Final Installation in Sainte-Rose: The Grand Finale
The day was winding down, the rain returned, but our team was ready. This last Gree Lomo wall-mounted air conditioner needed to be installed in a newly renovated basement.
Despite a load-bearing wall that was more difficult to drill through, our professional tools and experience allowed us to finish before 5:45 p.m.
Result: Five Installations, Five Satisfied Clients, One Proud Team

-
A full commissioning service
