An energy-efficient HVAC solution integrated into the urban environment
In the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood, one of our recent projects perfectly illustrates how a Lennox central heat pump can transform residential comfort while respecting the aesthetics and technical constraints of a dense urban environment. The installation on this black brick facade demonstrates our AirGreen team's expertise in integrating a modern, high-performance HVAC solution into a contemporary residential setting.
Why choose a Lennox central heat pump in Montreal?
The Lennox brand is renowned for its highly reliable heating and air conditioning systems. The central range, in particular, is distinguished by:
-
High energy efficiency , ideal for reducing annual heating and cooling costs.
-
Compatibility with grant programs in Quebec, including LogisVert and Rénoclimat, thanks to performance that meets Energy Star standards.
-
Reliable performance in northern climates , adapted to the harsh winters of Greater Montreal.
-
Proven durability , thanks to resistant components and a design designed for a long service life.
Technical details and particularities of the installation
This installation presented several technical challenges that our team was able to overcome:
-
Reinforced wall bracket : we fixed the outdoor unit to sturdy brackets directly on the facade, guaranteeing stability and durability.
-
Protected wiring : Electrical and refrigerant conduits are carefully covered and insulated to withstand the elements and preserve the aesthetics of the building.
-
External electrical connection : a safe disconnect box has been installed in the immediate vicinity, facilitating maintenance and complying with local electrical standards.
-
Optimized restricted space : the location, close to solar panels, required precise management of distances and clearances to ensure optimal air circulation around the condenser.
Integration with solar panels: towards sustainable housing
A notable feature of this project is the presence of photovoltaic panels installed nearby . This combination illustrates a growing trend in Montreal: the integration of HVAC systems with renewable energy solutions.
The advantages are numerous:
-
Reduction of the overall energy bill by offsetting part of the electricity consumption.
-
Reduction of the carbon footprint , strengthening the sustainability of the building.
-
Real estate enhancement through the installation of modern, ecological and economical equipment.
The installation process by AirGreen
At AirGreen, we favor a clear and structured process:
-
Initial assessment : technical visit on site to assess heating and cooling needs, taking into account surfaces, insulation and solar exposure.
-
System selection : recommendation of a Lennox central heat pump adapted to the required power (BTU/h), in accordance with grant criteria.
-
Careful installation : installation of the outdoor unit on a wall bracket, connection of the refrigerant lines, installation of the circuit breaker and commissioning.
-
Performance checks : pressure testing, calibration and airflow optimization to ensure maximum efficiency.
-
Customer training : explanation of operation and good maintenance practices.
Result obtained
The owner now benefits from a system:
-
Quiet and efficient for four-season comfort.
-
Energy efficient , significantly reducing annual energy costs.
-
Scalable , compatible with renewable energy solutions already in place (solar panels).
All harmoniously integrated into an urban facade, without aesthetic compromise.
Maintenance and durability
To extend the life of the heat pump, we recommend:
-
A complete annual maintenance including cleaning of the coils, checking of pressures and refrigerant fluid.
-
A biannual inspection of filters and ducts to maintain optimal indoor air quality.
-
A preventive check of the electrical box to ensure safety and avoid any unexpected breakdowns.
With these practices, the lifespan of the device can exceed 15 years, while maintaining its original performance.
