An HVAC installation at the heart of a decisive moment
In the world of wall-mounted air conditioning services, some interventions leave an emotional mark that goes far beyond simple customer satisfaction. At AirGreen, we recently lived a touching story on the North Shore that perfectly illustrates how a well-executed HVAC service can change more than just thermal comfort — it can save a precious bond. This is the story of Julie and Marc, a couple from Blainville, whose everyday life was transformed thanks to the fast and efficient installation of an 18,000 BTU Gree Lomo wall-mounted air conditioner.
When heat becomes unbearable: the roots of family tension
Marc, a self-employed IT worker, has been working from home for a few years. Julie, on the other hand, is a hospital nurse, dealing with intense schedules and physically demanding days. Last summer, a particularly aggressive heat wave hit the North Shore, with temperatures regularly climbing above 35°C (95°F). Their condo, facing south, turned into an oven by mid-morning.
The building’s outdated central AC system was inefficient, and tensions quickly built up inside their apartment. Marc, glued to his computer with a desk fan blowing in his face, struggled to focus, while Julie, deprived of restorative sleep because of the hot nights, grew increasingly irritable. The family atmosphere was at an all-time low. After one particularly intense argument, the couple realized it was time to act.
A lifesaving decision: calling AirGreen
On the recommendation of a neighbor, Julie reached out to AirGreen, known for our expertise in wall-mounted air conditioning on the North Shore. From our very first exchange, we sensed the urgency of the situation. So, we proposed a next-morning technical visit. Our certified technician arrived on-site, assessed the space, and recommended a simple but highly effective solution: an 18,000 BTU Gree Lomo wall-mounted air conditioner, a high-performance, quiet, energy-efficient model eligible for a $1,704 LogisVert grant offered by Hydro-Québec.
Express installation: a technical challenge, a custom solution
The couple had a rear balcony that was easily accessible, which facilitated the installation of the outdoor compressor. However, the real challenge was indoors. The ideal wall for the indoor unit was next to a kitchen cabinet, requiring precise cuts to route the conduits without compromising aesthetics. Our team worked with precision, collaborating with the couple to choose the best possible routing and minimize visual impact.
The full installation was completed in a single day, with a full performance test, thermostat calibration, and a thorough walkthrough of the unit’s operation. Julie, returning home from work in the evening, walked into a cool, soothing apartment — and more importantly, found Marc relaxed and smiling.
Immediate results: comfort restored, tension dissolved
The change was radical. The indoor temperature dropped from 30°C to a comfortable 23°C in less than 90 minutes. Thanks to the Inverter technology of the Gree Lomo, the temperature stays stable throughout the day — no noise spikes, no excessive energy use.
Marc was able to return to work peacefully, and Julie now sleeps soundly, even during the hottest nights. Even better, their couple dynamic noticeably improved. A few days later, they confided to us: “This isn’t just an air conditioner — it’s a new atmosphere in our lives.”
Why the 18,000 BTU Gree Lomo was the perfect choice
Energy efficiency and grants
The Gree Lomo is known for its outstanding energy efficiency (high SEER rating), making it an environmentally friendly and economical option long term. Thanks to the Hydro-Québec LogisVert program, the couple received a $1,704 credit, significantly lowering their upfront installation cost.
Quiet and discreet
This model features an ultra-quiet compressor and a sleek design that blends perfectly with a modern interior — a crucial point for Marc, whose professional calls require a calm setting.
Four-season performance
Designed for Quebec’s climate, the 18,000 BTU Gree Lomo provides efficient heating down to -25°C, making it an ideal year-round HVAC option for North Shore residents.
