  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.

Exceeding Expectations with Every Installation

Introduction: Why Choose AirGreen?

At AirGreen, we specialize in providing top-tier HVAC services across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and both the North and South Shores.

With a focus on efficiency, customer satisfaction, and cutting-edge technology, we ensure that every installation is nothing short of remarkable.

Project Overview: Seamless Integration During Renovation

Our latest project involved the installation of a Gree Vita wall-mounted air conditioner for a customer in the midst of extensive home renovations. This installation was not just about adding an air conditioner; it was about integrating comfort seamlessly into a newly revitalized living space without compromising the aesthetics or functionality of the home.

The Challenge: Minimal Disruption, Maximum Efficiency

Initially, our client was concerned about the potential disruptions to his home’s interior due to the installation process. He anticipated multiple holes and visible wiring that could detract from the clean look of his renovation. However, our skilled technicians at AirGreen handled the installation with an unexpected finesse that left the client thoroughly impressed.

Technical Excellence and Customer Satisfaction

  • Minimal Invasiveness: Contrary to the client's expectations, our installation required fewer holes and almost no visible wiring. All necessary conduits were discreetly placed behind the indoor unit, ensuring that the interior aesthetics remained unblemished.
  • Advanced Features of the Gree Vita: The unit installed was a Gree Vita model, known for its impressive 17.5 SEER efficiency rating and 12,000 BTU cooling capacity. It features a sleek design that fits perfectly within any modern interior.
  • Smart Control and Connectivity: With integrated WiFi capabilities, the Gree Vita allows for remote management via the GREE+ app, giving the homeowner the convenience of adjusting settings from anywhere at any time.
  • Quiet Operation: The unit operates at a noise level of 27 to 47 dB(A) indoors, ensuring a quiet, serene indoor environment, which is crucial during the post-renovation period when peace and comfort are highly valued.

Client Testimonial: Beyond Expectations

Our client's feedback post-installation was overwhelmingly positive. He expressed deep satisfaction with the clean and professional approach taken by our team. The efficient and respectful installation process meant that his renovated space was enhanced rather than disrupted by the addition of the air conditioner. He appreciated the value for money, noting the unit's efficiency, the 10-year warranty on compressor parts and labor, and the aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Why Gree Vita is the Ideal Choice for Modern Homes

  • Energy Efficiency: With a SEER rating of 17.5, the Gree Vita is designed to provide optimal cooling while minimizing energy costs.
  • Durability and Warranty: The model comes with a 10-year warranty on critical components, affirming its reliability and long-term performance.

The steps

How it goes, from the first call to the end

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.

  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

And 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.

    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.
