A careful HVAC installation for a Montreal building
At AirGreen , we recently installed ComfortStar wall-mounted heat pumps on the flat roof of a residential building in Côte- des-Neiges , in the heart of Montreal. This project is a good example of our expertise in adapting HVAC systems to urban realities, taking into account the architectural and climatic constraints of Greater Montreal.

Technical features of flat roof installation
Installing a heat pump on an urban flat roof requires a specific approach to ensure both the durability of the system and the protection of the roofing membrane.
-
Raised supports made of treated wood with anti-vibration plates , ensuring good stability while avoiding damage to the roof covering.
-
Refrigerant lines insulated and protected by capping , providing protection against UV rays and temperature variations.
-
Secure electrical connections in waterproof boxes, suitable for outdoor conditions.
-
Simplified gravity drainage thanks to the roof slope, avoiding the use of a condensate pump.
Challenges and solutions on this project
Each building imposes its own constraints, and this project was no exception:
