  1. Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.

  2. The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.

  3. Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.

  4. A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.

  5. The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.

  6. On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.

  7. The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.

A Refreshing Addition to Your Living Space

A Seamless Fit for Compact Comfort

When it comes to enhancing the comfort of your living space, especially in compact areas, choosing the right HVAC equipment is crucial. At AirGreen, we recently had the pleasure of installing the Tosot Lomo 23 Mini Split in a charming Saint-Constant home on the North Shore. This installation was not just about adding an air conditioner; it was about integrating a solution tailored to meet specific needs with precision and care.

Why the Tosot Lomo 23?

The Tosot Lomo 23 stands out in the realm of mini split systems. Here’s why this model was the perfect match for our client's living room:

  • Efficiency: With a 23.0 SEER rating, the Lomo 23 is designed to provide maximum cooling and heating without driving up energy costs. This unit is Energy Star® certified, ensuring that it meets the highest standards of energy efficiency.

  • Compact and Quiet: The Lomo 23 is renowned for its compact design, making it an ideal choice for spaces ranging from 300-400 square feet. Furthermore, the indoor unit operates at a low sound pressure level (29 / 43 dB(A)), ensuring that it delivers comfort without noise disturbance.

  • Smart Features: Optional WiFi connectivity allows for easy management of the system through a smartphone. Whether it's adjusting the temperature or scheduling operations, control is at your fingertips.

  • Heating Capabilities: Despite its compact size, the Lomo 23 excels in heating efficiency, capable of operating effectively even at -25°C thanks to GREE's two-stage Inverter technology. This makes it a versatile year-round solution for climates that experience harsh winters.

The Installation Process: Simple and Professional

The installation process in Saint-Constant was straightforward, reflecting the simplicity of both the project requirements and the design of the Tosot Lomo 23. Our client needed additional cooling for their living room, a space limited in size but significant in everyday life. The key considerations were efficiency, noise level, and space utilization—all expertly met by the Lomo 23.

Our team conducted the installation with meticulous attention to detail:

  • Site Preparation: Ensuring that the installation site was prepared without disrupting the existing layout and decor of the living room.
  • Unit Placement: Strategically placing both the indoor and outdoor units to optimize performance and aesthetics.
  • Connection and Setup: Installing and securing all necessary connections, including electrical and refrigerant lines, with precision to ensure efficient operation and safety.
  • System Testing: Conducting thorough tests post-installation to guarantee that the unit operates at peak efficiency and comfort levels.

Customer Satisfaction: Beyond Cooling

Post-installation feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Our client was particularly impressed with the quiet operation and the efficiency of the Tosot Lomo 23. The sleek design of the unit complemented their interior decor, proving that functionality and style could go hand-in-hand. Additionally, the eligibility of this model for a $340 Provincial Grant under the LogisVert Program by Hydro-Québec was an added benefit, providing significant savings.

Long-Term Peace of Mind

The 10-year warranty on both compressor and parts offered by Gree, the manufacturer of Tosot units, places the Lomo 23 among the top choices for consumers looking for reliability and peace of mind. The availability of an extended warranty further enhances this benefit, making the Tosot Lomo 23 a prudent investment for our clients.

The steps

The big day, step by step

The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.

Step 1 of 9The on-site estimate

We look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.

  1. The on-site estimateWe look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
  2. The quoteModel, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
  3. Getting readyFloors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
  4. The wall openingA single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
  5. The outdoor unitSet on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
  6. Lines, cable and drainConnected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
  7. The electrical workA dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
  8. Tests and start-upLeak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
  9. The walkthroughRemote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.
Your numbers

What would it look like at your place?

Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.

Size checkYour baseboards, in BTU/h
–BTU/h of installed electric heat

    Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.

    Through the seasons

    What to do, season by season

    Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.

    • Clean the indoor unit's filters.
    • Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
    • Test cooling before the first hot days.
    At your place

    Is your home ready?

    Check what applies at your place. A "no" is not a refusal: it is what we sort out during the estimate.

    0 / 6 checked
    True or false

    Four statements: true or false?

    It all comes down to details you have just seen.

    1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.

    2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.

    3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.

    4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.

    Frequently asked questions

    What people ask us about this kind of work

    12 questions
    Does a wall-mounted heat pump heat in winter?
    Yes, it heats and cools. Its capacity drops in very cold weather; the operating range depends on the model and is listed on its spec sheet.
    Wall-mounted or multi-zone: how do I choose?
    One wall head and one condenser outside: the direct solution for a room or an open area. For two to five rooms, a multi-zone puts one head in each room on a single condenser.
    Where does the outdoor unit go?
    Where it stays above the snow, clear and accessible, away from walkways. We decide it with you during the estimate.
    Are there grants?
    Depending on the model and your situation, assistance programs may apply, including Hydro-Québec's LogisVert. AirGreen checks the model number before quoting an amount. See the grants.
    Do I need a permit?
    Rules vary from city to city: location, distances, noise. See permits and by-laws, and we check for your address.
    How cold can it heat?
    It depends on the model. According to Hydro-Québec, newer models work down to a temperature between −15 °C and −25 °C, and some cold-climate models are certified lower. The minimum temperature is on each unit's spec sheet.
    How much can I save?
    Hydro-Québec says a heat pump can be up to three times more efficient than baseboards for heating in the colder months. The result depends on the house, the climate and how it is used.
    How is the LogisVert assistance calculated?
    For ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified heat pumps, Hydro-Québec lists assistance of $120 per 1,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at −8 °C. AirGreen checks the exact model before quoting an amount; only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted. See the grants.
    Is it noisy?
    The sound level depends on the model and is listed in decibels on each unit's spec sheet. Location matters too: when possible, we avoid putting the outdoor unit under a bedroom window.
    The outdoor unit is covered in ice: is that normal?
    Some frost is: the unit runs defrost cycles. Never hit the ice. If the unit stays iced up or stops heating, call us.
    Does AirGreen hold the required licences?
    Yes. AirGreen holds RBQ licence 5645-9605-01, subclasses 15.8 Ventilation, 15.10 Refrigeration and 16 Electricity.
    Is the estimate free?
    Yes. The on-site estimate is free and the quote follows within 24 hours. Book my free estimate.
