A residential project optimized for comfort and energy efficiency
At AirGreen , we pride ourselves on providing customized HVAC solutions to meet the unique needs of each residence in Greater Montreal. This project involved installing a Gree wall-mounted heat pump in an apartment located in Laval-des-Rapides , an area where urban density and multi-family buildings often require discreet and perfectly adapted installations.
The advantages of a Gree wall-mounted heat pump
The Gree wall-mounted heat pump is a particularly popular choice for apartments and condos in Greater Montreal. It combines efficient heating down to -25°C and efficient cooling in summer , while being eligible for provincial and federal energy subsidies. Among its strengths:
-
High energy efficiency (Energy Star certifications available).
-
Quiet operation , ideal for open plan living spaces.
-
Inverter technology allowing substantial electricity savings.
-
Compact and modern design , fitting discreetly into a living room or bedroom.
Key steps of installation
Strategic positioning of the indoor unit
The chosen wall, clear and oriented to maximize air diffusion, allowed for even distribution of heat and coolness throughout the main room. The wall mounting was carried out at the optimal height to ensure smooth air circulation.
Connection and capping
The refrigerant pipes and electrical wiring were routed to the exterior using discreet white capping , perfectly matching the angle of the ceiling and wall. This aesthetic choice also protects the installation in the long term.
Condensate management
The drainage was installed in gravity mode , taking advantage of the natural configuration of the housing, which limits maintenance risks and ensures smooth evacuation of the water produced in air conditioning mode.
Commissioning
After connecting to the external compressor, our technicians performed a leak test , followed by pressurization and full calibration. The unit was validated for optimal operation, ensuring immediate comfort for the occupants.
Challenges encountered and AirGreen solutions
-
Wall clearance constraints : the available space near the ceiling required a precise angle for the capping. Our installers designed a custom finish to combine efficiency and aesthetics.
-
Urban condo : noise reduction was essential. The Gree heat pump, renowned for its low noise level, perfectly meets this requirement.
Results for the client
As soon as the heat pump was activated, the owners were able to benefit from:
-
Instant thermal comfort , winter and summer.
-
A significant reduction in electricity consumption , compared to old convectors.
-
Of a successful aesthetic integration into their living space.
