Installation of a Mitsubishi floor console in Villeray. AirGreen ensures HVAC comfort, energy efficiency, and discreet integration throughout Greater Montreal.
Take a tour of the installation
Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.
In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.

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.
The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.
Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.
The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.
On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.
The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.
A perfectly integrated installation in a Villeray condo
At AirGreen , we understand that every HVAC installation project has its own unique set of requirements. In this specific case, we were tasked with installing a Mitsubishi Electric floor console in a condo located in the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension neighborhood of Montreal . This type of unit, while less common than the traditional wall-mounted air conditioner , offers significant advantages for certain residential spaces: more even air distribution at floor level and an aesthetic that is suited to rooms where the upper walls do not allow for the installation of a wall-mounted unit.
Why choose a Mitsubishi floor console?
The Mitsubishi floor console is designed to provide optimal thermal comfort in small to medium-sized rooms. It combines heating and air conditioning with certified energy efficiency, ideal for meeting the requirements of grant programs available in Quebec. Key features include:
-
Efficient heating mode down to -25°C , suitable for the harsh winters of Montreal and the North Shore.
-
Air diffusion from below and above , ensuring a constant temperature throughout the room.
-
Compact format that fits easily into the wall, close to the floor, like a modern radiator.
-
Compatibility with provincial and federal subsidy systems, including the LogisVert program.
Steps of installation carried out by AirGreen
Preliminary analysis
The space chosen for the unit was in a living room with hardwood floors and freshly painted walls. The installation required discreet placement to maintain visual harmony while complying with technical standards.
Drilling and connection
Our technicians made a discreet through-hole at the base of the wall to connect the floor console to the external compressor. The refrigeration pipes and electrical cable were carefully sheathed and protected with matching white capping , ensuring an aesthetic and durable finish.
Condensate management
In this project, drainage could be carried out by gravity , avoiding the addition of a condensate pump and thus reducing the risk of additional maintenance.
Commissioning and calibration
Once the installation was complete, our experts carried out pressurization , leak testing and a complete performance check. The unit was calibrated to provide stable temperature and optimal energy efficiency .
Constraints and solutions provided
-
Limited space : The room had no clear walls above, making traditional wall installation impossible. A floor console was therefore the ideal solution.
-
Aesthetics : The client wanted the unit to blend harmoniously into their decor. We selected a position near the side wall and used discreet protection for the wiring.
Immediate benefits for the customer
As soon as it was started up, the owners were able to observe:
-
Fast and uniform diffusion of air, particularly pleasant at ground level.
-
Noise reduction thanks to advanced technology from Mitsubishi Electric.
-
A gain in thermal comfort in both heating and air conditioning.
-
Measurable energy savings , especially in heating mode, compared to traditional electric convectors.

The big day, step by step
The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.
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.
Model, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
Floors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
A single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
Set on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
Connected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
A dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
Leak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
Remote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.

What would it look like at your place?
Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.
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.

Your own project, step by step
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.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
Is your home ready?
Check what applies at your place. A "no" is not a refusal: it is what we sort out during the estimate.
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.
During defrost cycles. That water must drain away without forming ice.
2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.
Windows, insulation, orientation and how the room is used all count. Capacity is chosen on site.
3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.
One head per room, all on the same condenser. Each room keeps its own temperature.
4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.
It must stay accessible: it is what shuts the unit off for service.
