A wall installation adapted to the realities of urban condos
At AirGreen , we regularly work in apartments and condos in the Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce area, where space and traffic constraints require precise planning of each HVAC installation. In this project, we installed a Gree wall-mounted heat pump running on R-32 refrigerant , a new-generation model adapted to Montreal's harsh winters. The indoor unit blends perfectly into the residential environment thanks to its discreet and modern design, while offering high-level energy performance.
Gree wall unit: comfort and energy efficiency
The Gree wall-mounted heat pump selected for this condo combines several key advantages:
-
High energy efficiency (SEER greater than 20, HSPF optimized for winter heating).
-
R-32 technology : more environmentally friendly and offering better thermal efficiency than the old R-410A.
-
Extreme cold operating range down to −25°C, ensuring stable heating even on freezing January nights.
-
Quiet operation , ideal for a living room or bedroom.
This installation illustrates the growing trend in Montreal: replacing old air conditioners or electric heaters with modern wall-mounted heat pumps, capable of heating and cooling economically all year round.
Process of moving into a condo in NDG
Our technicians carried out an installation that complies with the strictest standards of safety and efficiency:
-
Discreet wall drilling : a passage was made through the partition to connect the indoor unit to the outdoor condenser.
-
Optimized refrigeration connection : the piping has been carefully insulated to maximize efficiency and avoid heat loss.
-
Condensate drainage : thanks to the natural slope of the condo, the installation could be carried out by gravity , without requiring an additional pump.
-
Aesthetic finish : the use of white cladding ensures harmonious integration into the room, without visual compromise.
-
Commissioning test : complete calibration of the machine, leak check and air flow validation.
The whole thing was done in half a day, with minimal disruption to the occupants.
Available Grants and Programs
This Gree wall-mounted heat pump model is eligible for government grant programs , including:
-
Hydro-Québec – LogisVert : for primary residences.
-
Federal Greener Homes Program : applicable if the heat pump meets the required performance thresholds (Energy Star, extreme cold).
These financial aids make it possible to considerably reduce the initial cost, making the investment even more advantageous.
Results and customer satisfaction
The owner, keen to reduce his electricity costs while increasing his comfort, now benefits from:
-
stable and economical heating in winter,
-
pleasantly cool during summer heat waves,
-
improved air quality thanks to integrated filtration.
This installation perfectly illustrates AirGreen's expertise: offering HVAC solutions adapted to Montreal's urban context, while guaranteeing reliability, savings and lasting comfort.
