A tailor-made solution to improve residential comfort
At AirGreen , we have just installed a Gree wall-mounted heat pump in a house in Sainte-Dorothée, Laval . This residential area, known for its modern, family-friendly homes, requires HVAC solutions that combine performance, aesthetics, and energy efficiency .
The client wanted a system that could both efficiently cool the main rooms during the summer and provide economical heating during transitional periods and milder Quebec winters. The Gree heat pump, renowned for its reliability and ability to operate at very low temperatures, was the ideal choice.
Project study and planning
Before any installation, we carried out a detailed analysis of the house's layout and the family's thermal needs. The key points identified were:
-
Main living area : approximately 1,200 sq ft to be covered with a single wall head.
-
Room layout : open area connecting living room, dining room and kitchen, ideal for even air diffusion.
-
Energy efficiency sought : priority given to savings on electricity bills and eligibility for subsidy programs.
We recommended a Gree 12,000 BTU Energy Star unit, which is capable of delivering optimal performance even on the coldest days, with guaranteed operation down to -25°C.
Installation process
Installation of the indoor unit
The wall-mounted unit was installed high up on a central wall in the main living area. This strategic positioning ensures smooth air circulation and consistent comfort throughout the main rooms.
Passage of pipes and finishes
The piping route was planned to minimize visual impact. Discreet white capping was used to protect the pipes and match the interior finish. Externally, the refrigeration and electrical pipes were neatly secured, with a well-insulated opening to ensure a watertight seal.
Condensate drainage
A gravity drainage system was installed, avoiding the need for a pump and reducing the risk of long-term breakdown.
Electrical connection
The proximity of the electrical panel facilitated the installation of a dedicated circuit , respecting all RBQ safety standards and ensuring a stable power supply to the heat pump.
Immediate benefits for the customer
From the moment it was started, the benefits were noticeable:
-
Improved comfort : rapid and even cooling of spaces during hot weather.
-
Quiet operation : very low noise level, ideal for a family home.
-
Energy savings : reduced consumption compared to traditional air conditioning and basic electric heating.
-
Accessible subsidies : this model is eligible for programs such as LogisVert and certain provincial aid, which considerably reduces the acquisition cost.
The importance of maintenance to extend lifespan
At AirGreen, we emphasize the need for regular HVAC maintenance to maximize the performance and durability of each installation. For this Gree wall-mounted heat pump, we advised the client to:
-
Clean filters every 4 to 6 weeks.
-
Schedule an annual inspection to check refrigerant level, leaks, and proper drainage.
-
Monitor the outdoor unit to keep it clear of snow, leaves and debris.
These best practices not only help extend the life of the device, but also maintain the promised energy savings.
