Generic diagram: wall-mounted heat pump, indoor and outdoor units

In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.

  1. Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.

  2. The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.

  3. Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.

  4. A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.

  5. The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.

  6. On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.

  7. The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.

An HVAC installation perfectly suited to the configuration of a Montreal duplex

At AirGreen , we understand that every wall-mounted heat pump installation project requires a thorough analysis of the building, its environment, and the needs of its occupants. In Rosemont, a neighborhood where Montreal plexes often feature exterior stairs, balconies, and limited side spaces, optimizing the location of outdoor units is essential.

Our team recently installed a Gree MultiZone heat pump, consisting of two compact outdoor units mounted on wall brackets. This configuration perfectly illustrates AirGreen's expertise in residential HVAC installation in Greater Montreal.


The particularities of the project in Rosemont

Choice of location

The installation is located on the side wall of the duplex, a narrow space overlooking a fenced driveway. This layout presents several challenges:

  • limited clearance between walls and fence,

  • need to respect the ventilation distances of the units,

  • safe working height thanks to the use of a multi-section ladder.

Our technicians chose to install the Gree capacitors on galvanized steel wall brackets , fixed at an adequate height to protect them from winter snow accumulation and optimize air circulation.

Management of refrigeration connections

The connections run discreetly beneath a gray capping that matches the facade, ensuring both aesthetics and protection against the elements. Their length, adjusted to the shortest possible length, reduces energy efficiency losses and facilitates future maintenance.

Drainage and power supply

The drainage is designed using gravity, avoiding the use of a condensate pump. The electrical wiring is integrated into a vertical conduit running along the facade, directly connected to the interior panel, ensuring an installation that complies with Quebec electrical safety standards.


The advantages of a Gree MultiZone heat pump

The Gree MultiZone heat pump chosen by our customers combines performance and adaptability. Here are some highlights:

  • Versatility : possibility of connecting several independent indoor units, ideal for a Montreal duplex or triplex.

  • Energy efficiency : high coefficients of performance (SEER2 and HSPF2) ensuring significant savings on heating and cooling costs.

  • Operation in cold climates : eligible for Quebec subsidies (LogisVert, Hydro-Québec) thanks to its stable performance down to -25°C.

  • Quiet operation : optimal acoustic comfort, essential in the narrow streets of Rosemont where proximity between buildings is unavoidable.


Installation process

  1. Initial analysis : inspection of the facade and planning of the conduit route.

  2. Fixing the supports : reinforced anchoring of the wall brackets with mechanical sealing.

  3. Installation of outdoor units : parallel installation, perfectly aligned.

  4. Passage of refrigeration and electrical connections : aesthetic and safe capping.

  5. Testing and commissioning : pressure control, operating tests in heating and air conditioning modes, validation of air flow and temperature.


Results for occupants

With this installation, owners now benefit from a complete system that:

  • ensures thermal comfort all year round,

  • reduces dependence on electric supplementary heating,

  • optimizes the resale value of the building,

  • improves the overall energy efficiency of the property.

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 room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.

  1. The on-site estimateWe look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
  2. The quoteModel, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
  3. Getting readyFloors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
  4. The wall openingA single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
  5. The outdoor unitSet on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
  6. Lines, cable and drainConnected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
  7. The electrical workA dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
  8. Tests and start-upLeak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
  9. The walkthroughRemote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.
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 baseboards, 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.

    • Clean the indoor unit's filters.
    • Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
    • Test cooling before the first hot days.

    Frequently asked questions

    What people ask us about this kind of work

    12 questions
    Does a wall-mounted heat pump heat in winter?
    Yes, it heats and cools. Its capacity drops in very cold weather; the operating range depends on the model and is listed on its spec sheet.
    Wall-mounted or multi-zone: how do I choose?
    One wall head and one condenser outside: the direct solution for a room or an open area. For two to five rooms, a multi-zone puts one head in each room on a single condenser.
    Where does the outdoor unit go?
    Where it stays above the snow, clear and accessible, away from walkways. We decide it with you during the estimate.
    Are there grants?
    Depending on the model and your situation, assistance programs may apply, including Hydro-Québec's LogisVert. AirGreen checks the model number before quoting an amount. See the grants.
    Do I need a permit?
    Rules vary from city to city: location, distances, noise. See permits and by-laws, and we check for your address.
    How cold can it heat?
    It depends on the model. According to Hydro-Québec, newer models work down to a temperature between −15 °C and −25 °C, and some cold-climate models are certified lower. The minimum temperature is on each unit's spec sheet.
    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.
    Is it noisy?
    The sound level depends on the model and is listed in decibels on each unit's spec sheet. Location matters too: when possible, we avoid putting the outdoor unit under a bedroom window.
    The outdoor unit is covered in ice: is that normal?
    Some frost is: the unit runs defrost cycles. Never hit the ice. If the unit stays iced up or stops heating, call us.
    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.
