Installation of a Daikin wall-mounted air conditioner in Saint-Laurent

An efficient and discreet HVAC installation project in a residential environment

At AirGreen , we recently installed a Daikin wall-mounted air conditioner in a residence in the Saint-Laurent sector of Montreal . This neighborhood includes both single-family homes and numerous apartments, which leads us to favor compact, quiet and high-performance solutions.

In this project, the client's objective was clear: to improve indoor comfort during hot days while optimizing energy consumption. Choosing a wall-mounted Daikin was a no-brainer thanks to its reputation for reliability and efficiency.

Choosing the Daikin wall-mounted air conditioner

Daikin wall-mounted air conditioners are distinguished by:

• Their compactness allows for harmonious integration into any room.

• High energy efficiency , reducing electricity consumption.

• Inverter technology , adjusting the compressor speed according to actual needs.

• Ultra-quiet operation , ideal for a bedroom or office.

For this installation, the client chose a 12,000 BTU wall-mounted model, perfectly suited to the air-conditioned area (approximately 450 sq. ft.). This format is one of the most popular for apartments and condos in Montreal.

Installation steps

The installation was planned in half a day, with a team of two technicians. Here are the key steps:

1. Positioning the wall head

   • The indoor unit was fixed high up, in the center of the wall, to optimize air distribution.

   • The integration was done discreetly, without interfering with the existing wall lighting.

2. Drilling and passage of connections

   • A technical hole was made to pass the refrigerant pipes and electrical wiring.

   • The outlet has been discreetly protected with an external aluminum cover , ensuring watertightness and aesthetics.

3. Connection to the external compressor

   • The Daikin compressor was installed on an existing concrete slab, limiting vibrations and ensuring optimal stability.

   • The refrigerant lines have been insulated and protected to prevent any loss of performance.

4. Condensate management

   • The condensation drain was installed as a gravity drain , avoiding the addition of a pump and simplifying future maintenance.

5. Commissioning and testing

   • Our technicians checked the tightness of the connections and carried out a pressure test.

   • The system was then powered up and tested in air conditioning and ventilation mode.

Challenges encountered and solutions adopted

In this specific case, the main challenge was integrating the indoor unit into a room already equipped with recessed lighting. It was necessary to avoid any visual interference and maintain aesthetic symmetry. By placing the unit in the center of the wall, we achieved a harmonious result, perfectly integrated into the space.

In addition, the passage of the ducts to the outside has been optimized to avoid an excessively long route, which could have reduced the efficiency of the device.

Results and customer satisfaction

The result lives up to expectations:

• Uniform and rapid air diffusion throughout the room.

• A significant reduction in interior heat from the first tests.

• A device that is almost inaudible , even at high speed.

The customer now benefits from optimal comfort for the warmer seasons, with the assurance of superior energy efficiency and careful installation.

Grants and benefits

Daikin Energy Star wall-mounted air conditioners may be eligible for certain grant programs in Quebec, notably through Hydro-Québec and Transition Énergétique Québec. In the case of a wall-mounted heat pump (heating and cooling), the grants are even more attractive.

Although this installation involved a simple wall-mounted air conditioner, we informed the client of the possibilities of upgrading to a Daikin wall-mounted heat pump to combine summer comfort with efficient heating in winter.
