A careful installation for four-season comfort in a Montreal apartment
At AirGreen , we recently completed the installation of a Gree Clivia R32 wall-mounted heat pump in a bright apartment in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood of Montreal . This project perfectly illustrates our expertise in HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems adapted to Montreal's urban realities: limited spaces, old load-bearing walls and the search for optimal energy efficiency.
An elegant and efficient solution from Gree
The Gree Clivia R32 , chosen here in the 12,000 BTU version, represents one of the best value for money on the market. Compact, quiet and energy-efficient, it uses R-32 refrigerant , known for its low environmental footprint and increased performance even at low temperatures (down to −25 °C). This unit allows for efficient cooling in summer and heating in winter , while reducing energy consumption.
The installed gray wall unit blends harmoniously into the modern decor of the home, while its sleek design adds a touch of understated sophistication to the interior.
Technical details and particularities of the installation
The installation took place in an apartment located on the second floor of a typical Montreal plex , with access to a rear balcony . Here are the highlights of this project:
-
Unit Type: Gree Clivia R32 Wall-Mounted Heat Pump (12,000 BTU)
-
Location: Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Montreal
-
Energy efficiency: Energy Star label – seasonal efficiency SEER 23 / HSPF 10.5
-
Operating temperature: Up to −25°C
-
Drainage method: Direct gravity drainage to the exterior
-
Wiring and refrigerant line: New installation with covered and insulated conduits
-
Wall outlet: Side passage with discreet capping matching the wall
The indoor unit was positioned above a French door to optimize air distribution and avoid any obstructions. This placement ensures even airflow distribution throughout the main room, while allowing easy access for future maintenance.
The challenges encountered and our AirGreen approach
Installing a wall-mounted HVAC system in an urban home often requires careful planning. In this project, our team had to deal with:
-
A limited wall space between the ceiling and the patio door.
-
A wall outlet close to a window frame , requiring precise drilling to avoid cracks.
-
Aesthetic management of the hood so that the duct does not harm the interior style.
Thanks to our CMMT and RBQ certified technicians, we carried out a clean, straight installation, perfectly integrated into the wall. The refrigerant pipe was carefully insulated and sheathed , then painted to match the color of the wall.
Immediate comfort and tangible savings
Upon commissioning, the customer noted a significant reduction in noise compared to his previous portable air conditioner, as well as rapid cooling of the main room. The Gree Clivia heat pump, thanks to its DC inverter technology and variable speed compressor , automatically adjusts its power according to the ambient temperature, which results in:
-
Electricity savings of up to 30% compared to a traditional air conditioner.
-
Stable comfort without temperature variations.
-
Economical heating during transitional seasons.
Energy Grants and Eligibility
This R-32 model is eligible for several grant programs in Quebec, including:
