A Seamless Blend of Efficiency and Innovation: How We Transformed Comfort in a Montréal Home
At AirGreen, we are passionate about delivering cutting-edge HVAC solutions tailored to the unique demands of Québec’s climate. Our recent project in Montréal involved installing a state-of-the-art ELIOS FEA24HIAHUU230X7 Electric Furnace and Air Handler, an intelligent choice for both heating and cooling needs. This unit was paired with a central heat pump model DEA24HOS20230E7, creating a dynamic system that redefines indoor comfort. Here’s the story of how we executed this installation and why it’s a perfect match for the customer.
Why ELIOS Stands Out: The Perfect Machine for the Job

This robust system offers unmatched energy savings and comfort, qualifying for a generous $2,304 LogisVert grant by Hydro-Québec, making it an environmentally and financially smart investment.
The Challenges: Optimizing Space and Functionality
The project presented a unique challenge: installing the ELIOS system in a relatively compact mechanical room while ensuring optimal airflow and accessibility. The homeowner, who had previously experienced inconsistent heating, was eager to invest in a dependable solution. Our goal was to install a system that harmonizes with the space while maximizing efficiency.
Our Approach to Installation: Precision Meets Expertise
Step 1: Initial Assessment
Our team conducted a detailed inspection of the home to assess ductwork compatibility, insulation, and overall airflow. This step was crucial to ensuring the system’s efficiency post-installation.
Step 2: Strategic Placement
Given the limited space, we installed the air handler on a raised platform to optimize drainage and reduce wear over time. The compact dimensions of the ELIOS unit proved to be a significant advantage, fitting seamlessly into the allocated space.
Step 3: Electrical and Piping Work
The system operates on 220V power and required meticulous wiring to meet safety standards. We used 3/8-inch and 3/4-inch piping to connect the refrigerant lines, ensuring durability and leak prevention.
Step 4: Integration with Central Heat Pump
The DEA24HOS20230E7 heat pump was installed to complement the air handler, forming a unified system that delivers superior performance during both summer and winter. This integration ensures consistent heating even during Québec’s harshest winters, with optional electric resistance heating for temperatures below -15°C.
Step 5: Final Testing
Post-installation, our technicians conducted comprehensive testing, including airflow measurement, noise level checks, and thermostat calibration. We also walked the customer through operating the system, highlighting energy-saving tips.
Key Benefits for the Homeowner
1. Energy Efficiency
The homeowner can now enjoy lower energy bills, thanks to the high SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings. The system is tailored for Québec’s fluctuating climate, offering consistent performance regardless of season.
2. Silent Operation
One of the standout features of the ELIOS system is its whisper-quiet operation. Whether it’s heating during the chilly winters or cooling in summer, the system runs without disrupting the household’s peace.
3. Financial Incentives
The $2,304 LogisVert grant significantly reduced the installation cost, making this high-performance system an affordable upgrade.
4. Durability and Reliability
With its robust design and extended warranty options, the ELIOS system ensures long-term reliability, giving the homeowner peace of mind for years to come.
