A custom installation adapted to Montreal winters
At AirGreen , we know that every wall-mounted heat pump installation project in Greater Montreal requires meticulous planning. This project in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville neighborhood perfectly illustrates our expertise: adapting a high-performance machine to the demanding conditions of our Quebec winters while respecting the architecture of the house.
The Kreeg heat pump installed here is a compact wall-mounted system designed to deliver excellent energy efficiency while ensuring indoor comfort and stability, even on cold and snowy days. The building's red brick façade imposed certain technical constraints, particularly regarding the routing of ducts and the mounting of the outdoor unit.
Installation context
Our client in Ahuntsic-Cartierville wanted to replace an old unit with a modern, more reliable wall-mounted heat pump that was eligible for Quebec grant programs. The choice fell on a Kreeg unit, renowned for its durability and heating and cooling performance.
The main objectives of the installation were:
-
Optimize indoor comfort all year round.
-
Reduce your electricity bill with an efficient appliance.
-
Take advantage of a system eligible for subsidies available for Montreal residences.
Progress of the work
Positioning the outdoor unit
The outdoor unit was mounted directly onto the brick wall using sturdy wall brackets designed to withstand vibration and snow loads. The installation was above ground level to prevent direct accumulation of snow and ice, which is essential in an area with harsh winters.
Conduit management
-
Refrigerant pipes insulated and securely fixed to the wall using retaining clips.
-
Horizontal passage to minimize pipe length and reduce energy losses.
-
Protected electrical wiring , securely connected and compliant with Quebec standards.
-
A gravity-fed condensation drain was installed, directed to prevent any water return or risk of freezing.

-
Check the necessary clearance around the fan to ensure good air circulation.

Install conduits and cables with suitable slopes and fasteners to prevent ice buildup.
