Indoor Air Quality: Québec’s Major New Challenge and How to Seize this Opportunity with AirGreen
In Québec, particularly in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, as well as on the North Shore and South Shore, indoor air quality is rapidly becoming one of the most crucial topics for the coming years. Increasing health concerns, combined with growing environmental awareness, are placing indoor air quality at the center of discussions. At AirGreen, we are anticipating this shift by offering comprehensive HVAC solutions specifically designed to sustainably improve the air you breathe. Here is why indoor air will be a key issue in Québec and how you can benefit from it right now.
Why is Indoor Air Becoming an Essential Topic in Québec?
An Unprecedented Awareness of Health Issues
Québec residents now spend on average 90% of their time indoors, making indoor air quality absolutely essential to their health. Recent studies show a direct correlation between poor indoor air quality and an increase in respiratory problems, chronic allergies, and even serious illnesses. This awareness is driving many homeowners to invest in high-performance ventilation systems such as Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRV) or Energy Recovery Ventilators (ERV).
New Regulations Coming into Effect in Québec
In response to these concerns, municipalities, notably Montréal, have begun imposing stricter standards for residential ventilation. Starting in 2025, Montréal will require mandatory installation of Energy Star-certified air exchangers in new constructions and major renovations. Other cities like Laval and Longueuil are already considering similar initiatives. This regulatory trend reinforces the strategic importance of investing now in efficient and compliant HVAC systems.
How to Benefit from the Growing Importance of Indoor Air Quality?
Effectively Reducing Your Energy Costs
By installing a high-performance air exchanger such as the Lifebreath RNC155 MAX or the Venmar AVS E15 ECM, you immediately achieve substantial savings. These systems recover heat from outgoing air to preheat incoming air, significantly reducing your heating costs. Our clients in Montréal and on the South Shore regularly observe savings of up to 30% in their first year of use.
Significantly Improving Your Indoor Comfort
In addition to savings, an air exchanger properly installed by AirGreen ensures optimal humidity control and drastically reduces indoor allergens. Our recent installations in Laval and Longueuil have demonstrated marked improvements in daily comfort through reductions in allergy symptoms, excessive humidity, and persistent odors.
Sustainably Increasing Your Property Value
Potential buyers and renters now place great importance on indoor air quality. A home equipped with a recent and efficient HVAC system consequently sees its real estate market value significantly increase. AirGreen has helped numerous house and condo owners in Montréal effectively enhance their property value through professionally certified installations.
Concrete Examples of AirGreen’s Projects in Québec
Successful Installation in an Older Home in Longueuil
We recently installed a Lifebreath RNC205 air exchanger in an older home in Longueuil facing significant recurring humidity and mold problems. Thanks to our expertise, the excessive humidity issue was completely resolved, and the homeowners now benefit from healthy air and unmatched comfort.
Regulatory Compliance Project in a Montréal Apartment Building
In Verdun, our team equipped a residential building with a Venmar AVS E15 ECM system to comply with Montréal’s new regulations. This installation enabled the property owner not only to fully comply with the law but also to provide tenants with a significantly healthier and more pleasant environment.
Frequent Mistakes You Absolutely Must Avoid
Waiting Until Problems Become Critical
A classic mistake is ignoring the early signs of poor air quality (excessive condensation, persistent odors, or recurrent allergies). Prompt intervention by AirGreen helps prevent more serious damage to your health and home.
Neglecting Regular HVAC System Maintenance
A poorly maintained air exchanger rapidly loses efficiency. AirGreen recommends rigorous annual maintenance including filter checks, duct cleaning, and comprehensive system inspections to consistently guarantee optimal performance.
