A residential project designed for comfort and sustainability
At AirGreen , we know that a central heat pump installation is more than just an equipment upgrade: it's an investment in a home's daily comfort and energy efficiency. We recently had the pleasure of installing a central heat pump for a single-family home in Saint-Laurent , a Montreal neighborhood where heating and cooling needs are particularly high due to the significant seasonal variations.
Our client chose a Carrier central heat pump , renowned for its reliability, performance, and compatibility with energy efficiency programs available in Quebec. This project perfectly illustrates the importance of a well-designed installation carried out by a team of specialists.
The special features of the Carrier heat pump
The Carrier brand is recognized worldwide as a pioneer in the field of HVAC. The model installed in this home offers:
-
A heating and air conditioning capacity perfectly adapted to the size of the house.
-
Reliable performance, even during periods of extreme cold in Montreal.
-
Compatibility with existing ducts, thus avoiding heavy additional work.
-
Energy efficiency to reduce electricity costs, while providing stable and constant comfort.
Technical details and installation approach
During this installation, several technical points caught our attention:
Reinforced wall bracket
The outdoor condenser was mounted on sturdy wall brackets , slightly raised off the ground. This approach protects the unit from water infiltration, snow accumulation in winter and ensures better air circulation around the unit.
Electrical connection
We have positioned an electrical disconnect box directly near the device, in accordance with RBQ and CSA standards, thus allowing quick and safe access for any future maintenance.
Refrigerant lines and insulation
The refrigerant lines have been carefully insulated to avoid any loss of energy efficiency. Their discreet route ensures a harmonious integration with the aesthetics of the house.
Drainage and maintenance
The wall-mounted configuration makes drainage of the unit easier. The customer benefits from a durable, low-maintenance solution that is easy for our technicians to access during annual inspections.
Challenges encountered and solutions provided
As with any project, there were some challenges to overcome. In this case:
-
Proximity to an exterior door : The condenser had to be positioned next to a secondary access point to the house. We opted for a secure wall mount, allowing both to maintain a clear passage and to ensure the stability of the unit.
-
Management of available space : the installation on a wall support made it possible to preserve floor space, an advantage for the client who wanted to keep the area free for landscaping.
These solutions illustrate AirGreen's ability to adapt each installation to the specific constraints of the site.
