An HVAC installation adapted to the constraints of a Montreal apartment
At AirGreen , we regularly work in apartments and condos in Greater Montreal where space and configuration pose specific challenges to HVAC installation . This project located in Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce illustrates our expertise with the installation of a Gree R32 wall-mounted heat pump .
The unit was installed high above an interior passageway to maximize air circulation without encroaching on living space. In this type of home, every square meter counts: a compromise must therefore be found between performance, aesthetics, and practicality.
Why a Gree R32 wall-mounted heat pump?
The choice of a Gree R32 wall-mounted unit is based on several criteria:
-
Compact and sleek design : ideal for limited space.
-
High energy performance thanks to R-32 refrigerant, more environmentally friendly and more efficient than R-410A.
-
Four-season comfort : reliable heating even in Montreal's cold, efficient air conditioning in summer.
-
Eligibility for grant programs (including Hydro-Québec and the federal Greener Homes program) thanks to its certified performance.
Technical details of the installation
The installation was carried out in a narrow corridor, with several constraints:
-
Working height : the unit was placed close to the ceiling to clear passageways.
-
Discreet wall drilling , directly behind the interior head, to limit the length of piping and preserve aesthetics.
-
Wiring and refrigerant connections carefully sheathed with a white cover matching the walls.
-
Drainage management : thanks to a gravity slope, avoiding the addition of a condensate pump.
-
Electrical access : close to the existing thermostat, allowing seamless integration with the existing installation.
These choices ensure maximum durability, easy maintenance and optimal energy efficiency.
Challenges encountered and solutions provided
The limited space and moldings around the ceiling required pinpoint accuracy during installation. Our technicians adapted the wall plate and adjusted the alignment to ensure the unit's stability while maintaining optimal airflow to the hallway and adjacent rooms.
In addition, as the work is being carried out in an inhabited apartment, we have taken care to reduce nuisances to a minimum:
-
use of low-noise tools,
-
complete cleaning after work,
-
deadlines met in a single day of installation.
Immediate benefits for the customer
Upon startup, the customer noted:
-
A significant improvement in thermal comfort , with a uniform temperature throughout the apartment.
-
A reduction in ambient noise , the Gree R32 being particularly quiet.
-
The ability to easily control energy consumption thanks to the various integrated regulation modes.
