A flat roof installation project in a residential area of Terrebonne
At AirGreen , we are regularly called upon to intervene in a variety of contexts, ranging from the installation of wall-mounted units in condominiums to the installation of central heat pumps on flat roofs. Recently, our team completed the installation of a Haxxair heat pump in a residential neighborhood in Terrebonne , on the North Shore of Montreal. This type of configuration requires meticulous preparation and specific adjustments, since the condenser must be positioned stably and securely on a roof.
Installation preparation and configuration
From the moment we arrived on site, our priority was to ensure the stability of the outdoor condenser . We installed the Haxxair unit on treated wooden supports , suitable for flat roofs. This method avoids any direct contact with the roof surface and ensures better weight distribution.
The presence of exposed electrical wiring and piping also required careful planning. Our team chose an optimized route for the refrigerant connections, limiting energy losses and facilitating future maintenance.
Technical features of the Haxxair heat pump
The installed Haxxair heat pump is designed to provide four-season comfort in the Quebec climate. With high energy efficiency (Energy Star) and stable performance down to -25°C , it is eligible for grant programs available in Quebec, particularly on the North Shore, Laval, Longueuil and Montreal .
Features highlighted during this installation:
-
Inverter technology for precise power adjustment.
-
High efficiency compressor for reduced power consumption.
-
Heating and air conditioning capacity suitable for single-family homes in the Terrebonne region.
Challenges encountered and solutions provided
The main challenge of this project was the installation on a flat roof , where weather conditions (wind, rain, temperature variations) can accelerate the wear of the material. To address this, we integrated:
-
Raised supports to protect the device from stagnant moisture.
-
A specific orientation of the unit to maximize air circulation.
-
Connections protected by high-density insulation, guaranteeing optimal resistance to the harsh winters of the North Shore.
Customer Benefits
Thanks to this installation, the owner now benefits from a system:
-
Efficient in heating and cooling all year round.
-
Eligible for grants that significantly reduce investment costs.
-
Easy to maintain , since the pipe route and technical access have been designed for rapid interventions.
In addition, by choosing AirGreen, the customer benefits from comprehensive support, including advice on available subsidies, commissioning by certified technicians and post-installation monitoring.
Conclusion: know-how adapted to local realities
Every central heat pump installation in Terrebonne is unique, and our experience allows us to adapt to all configurations. Whether on a flat roof, in a garage, or in a backyard, we always strive to offer a reliable, aesthetically pleasing, and durable solution. At AirGreen, we combine our technical expertise with in-depth knowledge of Greater Montreal's energy needs to ensure our customers optimal comfort, summer and winter.
