An optimized residential installation project for a Laval condo
At AirGreen , we carry out daily installations of wall-mounted heat pumps adapted to the reality of condos and plexes in Greater Montreal. In Laval, in the Chomedey sector, our team recently installed a compact Haxxair outdoor unit , designed to offer four-season comfort while respecting the space constraints on a co-owner's balcony.
Project background
The client, the owner of a modern condo, was looking for a reliable solution for heating and cooling their unit. The space available for the outdoor unit was limited: a small balcony adjacent to a patio door. The installation therefore required careful planning to ensure:
-
Optimal air circulation around the compressor.
-
Safe and stable positioning thanks to a raised structure.
-
A discreet integration respecting the aesthetics of the building.
Technical characteristics of the Haxxair device
The Haxxair wall-mounted heat pump installed here is distinguished by:
-
Cooling/heating capacity suitable for a 2 bedroom condo.
-
Inverter technology allowing significant energy savings.
-
An Energy Star certification, opening the door to provincial and federal subsidies .
-
Efficient operation even in Quebec's cold, down to -25°C.
This versatility makes it a popular choice for homeowners looking to reduce their energy bills while enjoying consistent comfort.
Key steps of installation
Our technicians carried out this installation in several well-coordinated stages:
-
Site analysis : checking clearances around the balcony and choosing the ideal position for the outdoor unit.
-
Setting up the structure : the unit was fixed on a raised metal support, avoiding any direct contact with the balcony floor and protecting the device from the accumulation of water or snow.
-
Drilling and installation of connections : the refrigeration pipes were installed with discreet capping along the exterior wall.
-
Electrical connection : connection to the condo panel in compliance with current electrical standards.
-
Commissioning : pressure tests, verification of air flows and adjustments for optimal operation.
Challenges encountered and solutions provided
-
Space constraints : The narrow balcony required a compact, vibration-resistant support. We used a custom-made metal platform that allowed for adequate clearance at the rear and sides.
-
Proximity to the patio door : To avoid any noise disturbance, the unit was installed on the side opposite frequent traffic, and fine adjustments were made to minimize operating noise.
Results obtained
At the end of the project, the client benefits from a modern and efficient HVAC installation , ensuring:
-
Consistent comfort in all seasons.
-
A lower energy bill thanks to high energy efficiency.
-
A discreet installation that fits perfectly into your living space.
Recommended maintenance
We remind our customers of the importance of:
-
Clean the internal filters regularly.
-
Keep the outdoor area clear (without objects or snow obstructing the grid).
-
Schedule annual HVAC maintenance with our AirGreen technicians to extend the life of your heat pump.
