A demanding wall installation on a brick building
At AirGreen , we regularly work in dense urban environments where space and working height present particular challenges. This is precisely the case for this installation carried out in Saint-Laurent , an area of Montreal where many brick buildings house businesses and housing. The project consisted of installing two Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pumps , installed on wall brackets several meters above the ground, directly on the exterior facade.
This type of intervention requires not only advanced technical expertise, but also careful planning to ensure the safety, performance and aesthetics of the HVAC installation.
Features of the installed Fujitsu heat pump
The Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump is renowned for its reliability and energy efficiency, two essential criteria in a climate like Montreal's. It offers:
-
BTU capacities suitable for residential and light commercial needs (often 9,000 to 18,000 BTUs depending on the indoor head chosen).
-
Performance down to -25°C , an essential criterion for the region's harsh winters.
-
Energy Star certification , which qualifies owners for certain provincial and federal subsidies.
-
Quiet operation and compact design , allowing discreet integration indoors and outdoors.
Technical challenges and solutions provided
Height and wall support
The brick façade required a secure mounting using sturdy metal brackets capable of supporting the units' weight and vibration. At such a height, our technicians worked with a platform and appropriate safety equipment to ensure a flawless installation.
Routing of refrigerant pipes
The refrigerant and electrical connections were grouped together in a brown capping that matched the façade, ensuring both protection against the elements and aesthetic integration. The vertical and then horizontal routing of the conduits required precise drilling in the masonry.
Condensate management
At this height, it is crucial to provide reliable gravity drainage for condensate to avoid any risk of infiltration or inappropriate drainage onto the façade. Suitable pipes have been installed, leading to a secure drainage point.
Why choose a Fujitsu heat pump for Saint-Laurent?
In an area like Saint-Laurent , where buildings often have brick facades and space constraints, the Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump is a perfectly suited solution. It combines:
-
Significant energy savings thanks to its high coefficients of performance (SEER and HSPF).
-
Four-season comfort with efficient heating in winter and optimal air conditioning in summer.
-
Eligibility for grants offered by the provincial LogisVert and federal Greener Homes programs.
-
Durability and reliability , reducing long-term maintenance costs.
Key stages of the project carried out by AirGreen
-
Preliminary analysis of needs : study of thermal loads, choice of sizing and optimal location.
-
Preparation of the facade : fixing the wall brackets with sealing suitable for the brick.
-
Installation of Fujitsu outdoor units at height, with level and vibration checks.
-
Refrigeration and electrical connection with pressurization, leak testing and reinforced insulation.
-
Complete commissioning , including performance tests in heating and air conditioning mode.
A reliable and aesthetic result
The end result is a discreet, robust, and secure installation , seamlessly integrated into the building's brick façade. Our technicians ensured compliance with safety, energy efficiency, and comfort standards, while minimizing the visual impact of the ducts. Occupants now enjoy optimal comfort in all seasons, with an energy-efficient system that will last for years to come.
