Careful integration into a brick house in Laval
At AirGreen , we recently completed a Daikin wall-mounted heat pump installation in the Chomedey area of Laval . This project perfectly illustrates our approach: combining energy performance, careful aesthetics and compliance with the strictest HVAC standards for Greater Montreal.
The client, owner of a brick house with modern windows, wanted a high-performance system capable of providing both heating in winter and air conditioning in summer , while benefiting from available government subsidies . The solution chosen: a Daikin wall-mounted heat pump , renowned for its reliability and energy efficiency.
The particularities of the installation
Positioning the outdoor condenser
The Daikin condenser was installed on an outdoor slab, in close proximity to the electrical panel. This choice minimizes the length of electrical cables and conduits , thus reducing losses and optimizing overall efficiency.
The client was also keen to preserve the aesthetics of its brick facade. We therefore used brown capping to match the color of the masonry, ensuring a harmonious visual integration .
Refrigerant duct management
The layout of the house required a significant vertical rise along the brick wall , up to the second floor. This technical constraint was overcome thanks to a solid and discreet fixing, with carefully aligned capping sections.
Gravity drainage of condensates was preferred, which avoids the addition of a lifting pump and ensures minimal long-term maintenance.
Residential context
The project is taking place in a typical Laval environment: brick terraced houses, dense vegetation, and limited space between the properties. We had to deal with the proximity of a fence and a cedar tree, while ensuring we respected the clearances recommended by Daikin to ensure adequate ventilation of the condenser.
Daikin System Performance and Benefits
The installed Daikin wall-mounted heat pump offers several essential advantages for a Laval family:
-
Adapted capacity (12,000 to 18,000 BTU model depending on the specific needs of the house).
-
High energy efficiency , with a SEER greater than 20, guaranteeing savings on the electricity bill.
-
Heating performance down to -25°C , ensuring constant comfort even during the bitter winter cold of Greater Montreal.
-
Eligibility for subsidies offered under provincial and federal programs (LogisVert, Maison Plus Verte, etc.).
A process controlled from start to finish
Initial assessment
During the initial visit, our team carefully analyzed the optimal location for the outdoor unit and the ductwork. The owner wanted to limit the visual impact, which guided our decision to perfectly align the hoods with the architectural elements of the facade.
Installation and testing
Once the system was installed, we performed pressure and commissioning tests according to Daikin and HVAC industry standards. These steps ensure the durability of the installation and optimized energy efficiency.
Result
The final result is visually discreet, technically efficient and perfectly integrated into the home . The client now benefits from four-season comfort, with a reliable and sustainable energy-efficient solution.
