Controlled comfort in a high-ceilinged stairwell
At AirGreen , we often encounter unique challenges related to home architecture. In this project in Laval-des-Rapides , a Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump was installed in a very bright stairwell with a high ceiling and a red accent wall. This strategic location allows for optimal distribution of hot and cold air throughout the house, taking advantage of the natural circulation between floors.
Why choose a Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump?
Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pumps are widely recognized in Quebec for their exceptional energy efficiency and durability. In this configuration, the chosen model offers:
-
Reliable heating down to -25°C , ideal for Quebec winters.
-
An efficient air conditioning mode during the summer, particularly useful in a stairwell exposed to the sun.
-
Quiet operation , essential in a high-traffic area.
-
Precise temperature control , ensuring constant comfort between the ground floor and the upper floor.
Installation process
Strategic positioning
The unit was placed high up, near a side window. This choice maximizes air circulation and ensures even distribution both up and down the stairs.
Connections and drilling
Our technicians made a discreet opening to the outside, allowing the passage of refrigeration and electrical conduits. The whole thing was carefully insulated and covered, respecting professional HVAC installation standards.
Drainage and evacuation
Thanks to the wall's configuration, gravity drainage was preferred, thus avoiding the installation of a condensate pump. This choice simplifies maintenance and increases long-term reliability.
Commissioning
Once the connections were completed, the heat pump was turned on and calibrated. The temperature rise proved to be fast and efficient, even in a space as large as an open stairwell.
Technical challenges and solutions provided
-
Installation height : Working at height in a stairwell required the use of a specialized stepladder and enhanced safety measures.
-
Airflow optimization : The orientation of the louvers has been adjusted to prevent hot or cold air from blocking the side walls, ensuring smooth circulation to the living spaces.
Subsidies and energy efficiency
Fujitsu models installed by AirGreen generally meet the criteria of the LogisVert and Greener Homes programs, allowing owners to benefit from advantageous subsidies . This installation in Laval-des-Rapides perfectly illustrates how to combine energy savings and improved residential comfort.
Customer Testimonial
The owner said he was satisfied with the solution provided:
"The stairwell was always a weak point in the house, too hot in summer, too cold in winter. Since AirGreen installed it, we feel an immediate difference: the temperature is much more stable, and the system operates silently."
