A modern comfort solution perfectly integrated into a Montreal duplex
At AirGreen , we recently installed an Elios wall-mounted heat pump in a duplex located in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , a typical Montreal residential neighborhood known for its brick homes and modern renovations. This project illustrates the importance of careful planning and meticulous execution when installing an HVAC system in a dense urban environment.
The client wanted to improve the comfort of his home while benefiting from a reliable and energy-efficient device. The Elios wall-mounted heat pump , adapted to the Quebec climate, was chosen for its heating and air conditioning performance , as well as its eligibility for government subsidies .
Technical details of the installation
Inner head positioning
The Elios indoor head was installed in a bright room, near a large window. This configuration maximizes the even distribution of conditioned and heated air , while respecting the recommended clearances for optimal operation.
The wall mounting is carried out using sturdy brackets , ensuring a secure and discreet installation. The sleek design of the wall unit fits perfectly into a modern interior, without encroaching on the living space.
Connection with the outdoor unit
On the outside, the refrigerant and electrical connections are routed through discreet capping that matches the facade , ensuring an aesthetic and durable finish. In this specific case, the wall passage was carefully drilled and sealed to ensure a perfect seal , preventing any infiltration of air or moisture.
The compact and quiet Elios outdoor unit is strategically positioned to provide easy access for maintenance and adequate ventilation for optimal performance.
Condensate management
The installation favors gravity drainage , which is simpler and more reliable in the long term. This choice allows the customer to benefit from a system requiring reduced maintenance and limiting the risks of breakdown linked to the lifting pumps.
The advantages of the Elios wall-mounted heat pump
-
Adjustable capacity depending on the room : the installed model offers a power range adapted to the needs of a Montreal home (typically 9,000 to 12,000 BTU).
-
Energy efficiency : high SEER and reliable performance even at low temperatures.
-
Four-season comfort : efficient heating down to -25°C, ideal for Montreal's harsh winters.

-
Quiet operation : both indoors and outdoors, an essential criterion for densely populated urban environments.
Challenges encountered and solutions provided
Constraint: limited space
In a Montreal duplex configuration, space for the outdoor unit is often limited. We chose an optimal location that respects regulatory clearances while minimizing visual impact.
Solution: route optimization
The ductwork was designed to minimize the length of refrigerant lines, thereby maximizing energy efficiency. The brown exterior capping used ensures a harmonious visual integration with the brick façade.
