  1. It captures or rejects heat outside. It sits on a level base, above the snow, with free space all around.

  2. The insulated refrigerant lines enter the house through a sealed opening and run to the indoor coil.

  3. A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service.

  4. Sitting on the indoor module, it moves heat between the house air and the refrigerant.

  5. Electric furnace or air handler: its fan pushes air through the ducts. The electric backup takes over in extreme cold.

  6. Supply ducts bring air to the rooms; returns bring it back to the unit. Their condition matters as much as the unit's.

  7. It protects the coil and the fan. A dirty filter cuts airflow, so it gets checked regularly.

  8. It runs the heat pump and the backup heat. It must be compatible with the installed system.

A Gree Flexx R32 central heat pump installation designed for comfort and performance in all seasons

At AirGreen , we recently completed a complete installation of a Gree Flexx R32 central heat pump in Sainte-Dorothée, Laval . This project perfectly illustrates our expertise in HVAC installation for single-family homes on the North Shore, where energy performance and reliability must go hand in hand with indoor comfort.

The choice of the Gree Flexx R32: efficiency and innovation

The Gree Flexx R32 is a state-of-the-art central heat pump, designed to deliver exceptional energy efficiency and consistent performance even in the coldest Quebec weather. Its variable-speed compressor and use of R-32 refrigerant, which is more environmentally friendly than R-410A, make it a sustainable and energy-efficient solution.

  • Capacity: from 2 to 5 tonnes depending on the configuration of the home

  • Operating temperature: up to −25°C

  • Seasonal Efficiency Ratio (SEER): up to 18

  • Refrigerant: R-32 (low global warming potential)

  • Eligible for several grants (including federal and provincial energy efficiency programs).

A neat and durable central installation

The installation in Sainte-Dorothée presented several technical challenges, including the proximity of a gas line and the need to ensure a perfectly watertight drainage system. Our technicians opted for installation on an insulated slab and integrated sheathed and insulated wiring to ensure optimal system longevity.

The carefully insulated refrigerant piping has been positioned to minimize heat loss and facilitate future maintenance. The entire system is protected by sturdy capping, ensuring a clean and professional appearance.

Safety, efficiency and exemplary finish

Every detail has been checked:

  • Perfect alignment of the outdoor condenser for optimal airflow.

  • Clearances in accordance with Gree manufacturer's recommendations.

  • Gravity condensate drainage , thus avoiding any risk of backflow.

  • Electrical connection protected by a waterproof box, compliant with the standards of the Canadian Electrical Code.

Despite rainy weather on the day of the intervention, our teams worked efficiently while respecting safety and waterproofing protocols. This attention to detail is an integral part of the AirGreen philosophy: sustainable, safe and guaranteed work .

Year-round comfort and energy savings

With this Gree Flexx R32 central heat pump, the client now benefits from a centralized heating and cooling system that ensures a consistent temperature throughout the home. In winter, the heat pump harnesses external energy to significantly reduce heating costs. In summer, it ensures cool, consistent comfort, even during heat waves.

Energy efficiency gains result in:

  • Up to 35% savings on annual electricity bill ;

  • A significant reduction in the carbon footprint ;

  • A silent system inside and out.

The steps

How it goes, from the first call to the end

The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.

Step 1 of 9The on-site estimate

We look at the ducts, the current indoor module, the electrical panel and the planned spot for the outdoor unit.

  1. The on-site estimateWe look at the ducts, the current indoor module, the electrical panel and the planned spot for the outdoor unit.
  2. The quoteThe equipment combination, capacity and price, in writing. We check whether the combination qualifies for assistance programs.
  3. Getting readyAccess protected, old unit disconnected and removed when it is being replaced.
  4. The indoor moduleElectric furnace or air handler, with its coil, connected to the supply and return ducts.
  5. The outdoor unitOn a level base, raised above the snow, with free space all around.
  6. The refrigerant linesInsulated, they enter through a sealed opening and run to the indoor coil.
  7. Electrical and thermostatDedicated circuits, accessible disconnect, a thermostat that works with the heat pump and the backup heat.
  8. Tests and start-upLeak test, vacuum, start-up, airflow check and a test of both modes.
  9. The walkthroughFilter, thermostat, backup heat in extreme cold: what to know before winter.
Your numbers

And at your place?

Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.

Size checkYour electric furnace, in BTU/h
–BTU/h of installed electric heat

    Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.

    Through the seasons

    What to do, season by season

    Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.

    • Check the indoor module's filter.
    • Clear winter debris from the outdoor unit.
    • Test cooling before the heat arrives.

    Frequently asked questions

    What people ask us about this kind of work

    11 questions
    Can I keep my current ducts?
    Often, yes: the central heat pump connects to the existing ducts. We check their condition and size during the estimate.
    What happens in extreme cold?
    The indoor module (furnace or air handler) works with the central heat pump and takes over in extreme cold.
    Furnace, air handler, ducted: what is the difference?
    The furnace or air handler is the indoor module of the central system. A ducted system hides in the ceiling: all you see are small supply grilles.
    Are there grants?
    Depending on the equipment and your situation, assistance programs may apply. AirGreen checks the exact combination before quoting an amount. See the grants.
    Do I need a permit?
    Rules vary from city to city. See permits and by-laws, and we check for your address.
    How much can I save?
    Hydro-Québec says a heat pump can be up to three times more efficient than baseboards for heating in the colder months. The result depends on the house, the climate and how it is used.
    How is the LogisVert assistance calculated?
    For ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified heat pumps, Hydro-Québec lists assistance of $120 per 1,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at −8 °C. AirGreen checks the exact model before quoting an amount; only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted. See the grants.
    Will my current thermostat work?
    Not always: the thermostat has to run the heat pump and the backup heat. We check compatibility during the estimate.
    Central or wall units: which one?
    If the house has ducts in good shape, a central system heats and cools every room at once. Without ducts, wall units or a multi-zone are often simpler. We compare on site.
    Does AirGreen hold the required licences?
    Yes. AirGreen holds RBQ licence 5645-9605-01, subclasses 15.8 Ventilation, 15.10 Refrigeration and 16 Electricity.
    Is the estimate free?
    Yes. The on-site estimate is free and the quote follows within 24 hours. Book my free estimate.
