Discover the inspiring story of a Montreal family who regained a healthy life thanks to a tailored HVAC installation
At AirGreen, we often have the privilege of directly improving the daily lives of families in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, as well as on the North Shore and the South Shore, by offering tailored solutions to their indoor air quality issues. Recently, we assisted the Tremblay family, residing in Montreal’s Villeray neighbourhood, who had been struggling for several years with severe chronic respiratory problems. Their story clearly demonstrates how installing the right air exchanger can radically change one's quality of life.
The Initial Challenge: A Family Struggling with Persistent Respiratory Allergies
The Tremblay family, consisting of two adults and their two young children, contacted us after years spent unsuccessfully seeking relief from severe allergic symptoms. Family members suffered especially from:
-
Persistent nighttime coughing,
-
Frequent asthma attacks, particularly affecting the children,
-
Constant respiratory irritation.
After consulting several medical specialists without lasting results, the Tremblays finally decided to pursue a different approach by addressing their indoor air quality.
AirGreen’s Precise Diagnosis: Identifying Poor Ventilation
During our first visit to the Tremblays’ home, our experienced AirGreen technicians quickly identified several critical issues related to poor ventilation:
-
Excessive humidity promoting mold growth in air ducts and main living areas.
-
Complete absence of an air exchanger system, preventing adequate indoor air renewal.
-
Ineffective air filtration, allowing pollen, dust, and other allergens to circulate freely.
This harmful combination directly explained the severity of the family's respiratory symptoms.
AirGreen’s Solution: Installation of a Venmar AVS X24 ERV Air Exchanger in Montreal
Recognizing the need for a powerful solution tailored specifically to their 2200 square-foot home in Montreal, we recommended installing a Venmar AVS X24 ERV air exchanger for the Tremblays. The main reasons behind this precise technical choice included:
-
Outstanding energy efficiency: The Venmar AVS X24 ERV achieves an energy recovery rate of up to 84%, significantly reducing heat loss during Montreal’s cold months.
-
Advanced humidity control: Ideally suited for Montreal’s humid climate, this model prevents excessive moisture buildup responsible for mold.
-
High-performance filtration: Capable of capturing up to 95% of fine particles and allergens, ensuring consistently healthy indoor air.
The Installation Process: Specific Challenges and Innovative Solutions
During installation, our technicians encountered specific challenges related to the age of the Tremblays’ home (built in the 1950s):
-
Limited space for ductwork: We created a detailed plan to integrate the air ducts within existing walls without compromising structural integrity.
-
Poor thermal insulation: We improved insulation around ducts to avoid internal condensation, a key factor in mold development.
In just two days of meticulous work, the AirGreen team completed the air exchanger installation, fully respecting the planned schedule and minimizing disruption to the family’s daily life.
Concrete Results and the Tremblays’ Exclusive Testimonial
Within weeks of the installation, the Tremblays experienced results far exceeding their expectations:
-
Complete disappearance of nighttime asthma attacks for the children.
-
Spectacular reduction of allergic symptoms, noticeable within the first week.
-
Significant improvement in sleep quality for the entire family, thanks to healthier indoor air.
"Before AirGreen’s intervention, we had almost lost hope. Today, our quality of life has dramatically changed due to healthy indoor air. We strongly recommend AirGreen to any family dealing with persistent respiratory issues," says Mrs. Tremblay.
Common Mistakes to Absolutely Avoid According to Our AirGreen Experts
Drawing on our established expertise in Montreal and the surrounding areas, here are common errors we strongly recommend avoiding regarding residential ventilation:
-
Underestimating the need for an air exchanger in older homes: Older homes often require greater air renewal due to increased humidity and mold risks.
-
Ignoring the importance of high-quality filtration: Inadequate filtration continually exposes residents to various allergens.
-
Neglecting regular system maintenance: Consistent maintenance ensures long-term system efficiency.
Take Advantage of Available Grants with Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert Program
The Tremblays also benefited from Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert subsidy program, significantly reducing their initial installation costs. At AirGreen, we systematically assist our clients with administrative procedures so they can fully access these available financial aids.
