A perfectly integrated HVAC system in a co-ownership
At AirGreen , we regularly carry out demanding central heat pump installation projects in urban and semi-urban settings. The example presented here illustrates an intervention carried out in a condo in Laval-des-Rapides , where we installed a Gree Flexx R32 central heat pump . This compact and efficient unit represents the new generation of residential systems, using the more environmentally friendly R-32 refrigerant.
Project context and client needs
The owner was looking for a reliable solution to replace an old wall-mounted air conditioner that had become noisy and inefficient. The goal was twofold: to improve year-round comfort in the condo and to take advantage of new Hydro-Québec and federal subsidies available for energy-efficient equipment operating down to -30°C.
Our recommendation was a Gree Flexx R32 , which is perfectly suited to the constraints of limited outdoor space and offers sufficient power to serve all rooms thanks to its central air manager.
Technical details and installation constraints
The installation took place on a concrete balcony, with limited clearance between the wall and the railing. Here are some highlights:
-
Reinforced wall bracket : The unit is securely fixed using galvanized brackets to free up floor space and reduce vibrations transmitted to the concrete.
-
Refrigeration pipe routing : the insulated and sheathed pipes are carefully protected by discreet gray capping, running along the exterior wall to the technical entrance.
-
Condensate management : thanks to the natural slope of the balcony, drainage could be carried out by gravity, without the addition of a pump.
-
Power Supply : A dedicated circuit, connected via a protective circuit breaker, was drawn from the condo's main panel.
-
Working height : our technicians operated safely, the unit being positioned on the facade above street level, requiring special attention during fixing and connection.
Benefits of the Gree Flexx R32
The Flexx Ultra R32 series represents a major evolution in central heat pump systems:
-
Guaranteed operation down to -30°C , ideal for Quebec winters.
-
Use of R-32 refrigerant , reducing environmental impact by almost 70% compared to R-410A.
-
Compatibility with the LogisVert and Maisons Plus Vertes subsidy programs , allowing significant savings on purchase.
-
Reduced noise level, a considerable advantage in a co-ownership context.
-
Optimized energy efficiency (high SEER, higher HSPF), guaranteeing reduced bills and stable comfort in summer and winter.
Final result
The installation blends harmoniously into the condo's architecture, without encroaching on the balcony's living space. The client now benefits from a quiet, efficient, and economical centralized system , perfectly adapted to the climatic realities of Laval and Greater Montreal.
