An essential upgrade for modern comfort in the city center
In the vibrant heart of Ville-Marie , a client recently contacted us to upgrade their air conditioning system. The existing wall-mounted unit, installed several years ago, had yellowed over time and no longer met current performance and energy efficiency standards. At AirGreen , we know how essential a reliable wall-mounted air conditioner is, especially in downtown condominiums, where space is limited and comfort must be ensured in all seasons.
Project background
The existing unit was a Sharp wall-mounted air conditioner , mounted high up in an open space connecting the living room to a hallway. Although it had served faithfully for several years, several signs indicated that it was time for a replacement:
-
Loss of performance during heat waves.
-
Increased noise and aging internal parts.
-
Outdated design, poorly suited to modern aesthetic standards.
The client was looking for a more efficient, quiet and discreet solution , while maintaining the existing wall configuration, in order to avoid excessive work in his condo.
Installation Steps
1. Evaluation of the existing unit
Our technicians began by checking the condition of the refrigerant lines and electrical wiring. In this case, the refrigerant lines were replaced to ensure full compatibility with the new model, thus ensuring the integrity of the refrigeration circuit.
2. Removing the old wall-mounted air conditioner
The dismantling of the old Sharp unit was carried out with care to avoid damaging the load-bearing wall and to comply with Ville-Marie's strict co-ownership regulations, which impose rigorous control over noise and the aesthetics of HVAC systems.
3. Installation of the new device
The replacement was carried out with a new generation Sharp wall-mounted air conditioner , compact and highly energy-efficient. We used discreet white capping to conceal the refrigerant and electrical connections, thus ensuring a neat finish that met the client's expectations.
4. Condensate management
Since the unit is installed high up, we opted for gravity drainage to a discreet outlet point, thus avoiding the need for a condensate pump. This solution reduces maintenance and limits the risk of breakdown.
Results obtained
At the end of the project, the client benefited from increased comfort , with a device offering:
-
Significant reduction in operating noise .
-
Improved energy efficiency , reducing electricity costs.
-
A modern design , better integrated into the condo's decor.
-
Better temperature regulation, ensuring coolness in summer and comfort in mid-season.
