Improving the comfort of a Montreal home with a custom installation
At AirGreen , we are regularly called upon to work in Montreal homes where thermal comfort requires a reliable and sustainable solution. This is exactly the case with this project in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , where our team installed a Gree wall-mounted heat pump , perfectly suited to the energy needs of a family living in a renovated century-old house.
A strategic choice: the Gree wall-mounted heat pump
The wall-mounted heat pump remains one of the most popular solutions for urban homes in the Plateau, Rosemont, and Villeray areas. Compact, quiet, and highly efficient, the Gree range is distinguished by:
-
Excellent energy efficiency, Energy Star certified, which opens the door to Quebec and federal subsidies (LogisVert, Greener Homes).
-
An operating capacity down to -25°C , guaranteeing reliable heating even in the middle of Montreal winter.
-
An efficient air conditioning mode in summer, maintaining a stable and pleasant temperature despite heat waves.
In this project, the installed unit offers a power of 12,000 BTU , an optimal choice for the living room and the open space on the ground floor.
Challenges encountered on site
Moving into an old house in Rosemont always has its own particularities:
-
High ceiling height : the decorative plaster molding required precise positioning of the wall unit.
-
Wall penetration : we carefully drilled and capped the refrigerant connections to ensure optimal sealing and discreet aesthetics.
-
Condensate management : the flow was able to be achieved by gravity, avoiding the addition of a pump and simplifying future maintenance.
These technical constraints were anticipated by our installers in order to ensure both performance and aesthetic integration.
Installation process
-
Site preparation : protection of walls and verification of the structure for solid anchoring.
-
Indoor unit mounting : strategically positioned at the top of the living room wall to optimize air circulation.
-
Drilling and running of conduits : installation of refrigerant pipes, electrical wiring and evacuation of condensates.
-
Exterior capping : clean finish with white capping matching the rear facade.
-
Start-up and calibration : performance tests, verification of pressures and programming of the remote control.
Everything was done in one full day , minimizing the impact on family routine.
Results obtained
Upon commissioning, the family immediately noticed:
-
Consistent comfort in the living room and adjacent kitchen.
-
Remarkable operational silence , allowing a peaceful atmosphere to be maintained.
-
Predictable energy savings : according to our estimates, this wall-mounted heat pump will reduce your annual heating bill by approximately 25% compared to older electric convectors.
