Increased comfort in a modern condo in Laval
In a recent apartment located in Chomedey, Laval , our AirGreen team installed a Gree wall-mounted heat pump . This project perfectly illustrates the adaptation of an HVAC system in a compact residential space, where discretion and energy efficiency are priorities. The client wanted to enjoy optimal comfort, summer and winter, while reducing their electricity bills.
Installation context
The unit was installed in a kitchen open to the living room, a space where the heat and humidity generated by cooking can quickly make the air uncomfortable. Choosing a wall-mounted heat pump not only efficiently cooled the area, but also provided supplemental heating during colder periods—an important asset for Laval winters.
Characteristics of the installed machine
-
Brand: Gree
-
Type: Single-zone wall-mounted heat pump
-
Capacity: 12,000 BTU (perfect for an average-sized condo space)
-
Technology: Inverter, allowing stable and quiet operation
-
Performance: Effective down to -25°C, meets the criteria of Quebec's energy efficiency programs
-
Integrated Display: Digital temperature visible on the unit, ensuring precise and convenient control
Progress of the work
Choosing the interior location
The wall-mounted heat pump was mounted above the refrigerator, a strategic position that maximizes the distribution of cool and warm air throughout the room without encroaching on the functional kitchen space.
Connections and drilling
-
Drilling of a side load-bearing wall for the passage of refrigeration lines and electrical wiring .
-
Installation of discreet white capping , protecting the conduits and ensuring an aesthetic finish suited to modern interiors.
-
Gravity drainage of condensates, avoiding the installation of an additional pump and reducing future maintenance costs.
Electrical connection
A dedicated circuit breaker was installed on the existing electrical panel, in accordance with current standards, ensuring safe and sustainable use of the equipment.
Constraints encountered and solutions provided
-
Proximity to kitchen cabinets: Limited space required precise positioning of the unit. Our technicians used laser measuring tools to ensure optimal clearance, facilitating future maintenance.
-
External passage management: The lines were laid with a short route, reducing energy losses and optimizing performance.
Results obtained
Upon commissioning, the customer immediately noted:
-
An improvement in thermal comfort , with a pleasant temperature throughout the living area.
