In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.

Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.

  1. Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.

  2. The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.

  3. Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.

  4. A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.

  5. The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.

  6. On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.

  7. The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.

An elegant and efficient integration into a classic residential setting

At AirGreen , we recently installed an LG wall-mounted air conditioner in a charming residence in Outremont , a neighborhood known for its heritage homes and elegant architecture. Our client's goal was clear: improve indoor comfort during Montreal summers while preserving the aesthetics of their living space.

A heritage-style environment

The house, with its original woodwork and stained-glass windows, presented an interesting challenge: integrating a modern air conditioning system without compromising the visual harmony of the space. Our team therefore opted for a high wall installation , just above the wooden frame, optimizing both air circulation and visual discretion .

Choice of model and technical advantages

The customer chose an LG wall-mounted air conditioner from the residential Inverter range, renowned for its reliability, low energy consumption and quiet operation .
Among its key features:

  • Inverter technology allowing automatic adjustment of power according to actual needs;

  • Energy-saving mode reducing consumption by up to 30%;

  • Noise level below 21 dB , ideal for bedrooms and relaxation areas;

  • Minimalist design that fits perfectly into any type of interior.

Technical details of the installation

Our technicians chose a discreet gravity route for condensate drainage, without a visible pump, guaranteeing a clean and durable integration . The wall drilling was carried out with care to avoid any impact on the heritage structure.
The interior head has been securely fixed to a load-bearing wall, and the refrigeration wiring runs behind a cover painted the same color as the wall, ensuring a flawless finish.

Optimal comfort for all seasons

Although this model is primarily a wall-mounted air conditioner , it has a supplementary heating function, which is particularly useful during the off-season. This means the owner can now enjoy adjustable thermal comfort all year round , without having to immediately use the main heating system.

Concrete benefits for the customer

A few days after installation, our client told us that he noticed a clear difference:

  • Stable and uniform temperature in the main room;

  • Reduced ambient noise compared to the old portable air conditioner;

  • Aesthetics preserved thanks to the careful integration above the stained glass window.

Our AirGreen commitment in Outremont

Every project we undertake, whether it's a wall-mounted heat pump , a central air conditioner or a multi-zone system , is based on the same values: rigor, respect for architecture, and energy efficiency . In a residential sector like Outremont, where architectural character is essential, this approach takes on its full importance.

Maintenance and durability

In order to guarantee the longevity and optimal performance of the device, we have scheduled an annual maintenance service with the customer including:

  • Complete cleaning of filters and evaporator;

  • Checking electrical and refrigerant connections;

  • Checking refrigerant levels;

  • System calibration to maintain Energy Star performance.

At AirGreen, we believe that regular maintenance is essential to maintain indoor air quality , reduce energy consumption and avoid costly repairs.

A project representative of our know-how

This installation in Outremont perfectly illustrates our expertise in integrating modern HVAC systems into environments with a traditional feel. Every detail, from the position of the wall head to the color of the capping, has been designed to combine aesthetics and performance .

The steps

How it goes, from the first call to the end

The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.

Step 1 of 9The on-site estimate

We look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.

  1. The on-site estimateWe look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
  2. The quoteModel, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
  3. Getting readyFloors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
  4. The wall openingA single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
  5. The outdoor unitSet on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
  6. Lines, cable and drainConnected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
  7. The electrical workA dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
  8. Tests and start-upLeak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
  9. The walkthroughRemote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.
Your numbers

And at your place?

Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.

Size checkYour baseboards, in BTU/h
–BTU/h of installed electric heat

    Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.

    Through the seasons

    What to do, season by season

    Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.

    • Clean the indoor unit's filters.
    • Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
    • Test cooling before the first hot days.

    Frequently asked questions

    What people ask us about this kind of work

    12 questions
    Does a wall-mounted heat pump heat in winter?
    Yes, it heats and cools. Its capacity drops in very cold weather; the operating range depends on the model and is listed on its spec sheet.
    Wall-mounted or multi-zone: how do I choose?
    One wall head and one condenser outside: the direct solution for a room or an open area. For two to five rooms, a multi-zone puts one head in each room on a single condenser.
    Where does the outdoor unit go?
    Where it stays above the snow, clear and accessible, away from walkways. We decide it with you during the estimate.
    Are there grants?
    Depending on the model and your situation, assistance programs may apply, including Hydro-Québec's LogisVert. AirGreen checks the model number before quoting an amount. See the grants.
    Do I need a permit?
    Rules vary from city to city: location, distances, noise. See permits and by-laws, and we check for your address.
    How cold can it heat?
    It depends on the model. According to Hydro-Québec, newer models work down to a temperature between −15 °C and −25 °C, and some cold-climate models are certified lower. The minimum temperature is on each unit's spec sheet.
    How much can I save?
    Hydro-Québec says a heat pump can be up to three times more efficient than baseboards for heating in the colder months. The result depends on the house, the climate and how it is used.
    How is the LogisVert assistance calculated?
    For ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified heat pumps, Hydro-Québec lists assistance of $120 per 1,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at −8 °C. AirGreen checks the exact model before quoting an amount; only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted. See the grants.
    Is it noisy?
    The sound level depends on the model and is listed in decibels on each unit's spec sheet. Location matters too: when possible, we avoid putting the outdoor unit under a bedroom window.
    The outdoor unit is covered in ice: is that normal?
    Some frost is: the unit runs defrost cycles. Never hit the ice. If the unit stays iced up or stops heating, call us.
    Does AirGreen hold the required licences?
    Yes. AirGreen holds RBQ licence 5645-9605-01, subclasses 15.8 Ventilation, 15.10 Refrigeration and 16 Electricity.
    Is the estimate free?
    Yes. The on-site estimate is free and the quote follows within 24 hours. Book my free estimate.
