Optimal interior comfort in an urban Montreal condo
In the Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce sector of Montreal , we completed the installation of a Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump designed to improve the comfort of a modern condo. This project highlights the importance of adapting each HVAC installation to the occupants' lifestyle and the constraints specific to residential buildings.
Project background
The client wanted to replace an inefficient portable air conditioner with a reliable, discreet, and energy-efficient solution. Living on the top floor of a building, they were looking for a unit that could provide four-season comfort without sacrificing the aesthetics of their interior space. The Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump was the ideal solution.
Technical details of the installation
-
Device type : wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split).
-
Brand : Fujitsu.
-
Capacity : 12,000 BTU, suitable for a main living room.
-
Indoor unit : installed above the curtains, ensuring optimal air diffusion without disturbing the interior layout.
-
Outdoor unit : positioned on the flat roof of the building, connected via a sealed technical chimney.
-
Condensate drainage : concealed gravity system, avoiding the need for a pump and reducing maintenance requirements.
Challenges encountered and solutions provided
-
Aesthetic integration :
The main challenge was to install the wall-mounted head in a tight corner, while maintaining visual harmony with the curtains and furniture. We chose a recessed position that ensures both discretion and performance. -
Humidity Management :
The pipe routing has been optimized to limit drilling and ensure perfect sealing, essential in a high-rise condo. -

Fujitsu Inverter technology significantly reduces noise in night mode, a significant advantage for a customer living in an urban environment.
