A custom installation project in a Montreal kitchen
At AirGreen , we regularly install wall-mounted air conditioners in complex residential spaces. This project, located in a home in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood of Montreal , perfectly illustrates our personalized approach and technical expertise. The client wanted optimal comfort in their kitchen, a room often exposed to temperature fluctuations and high thermal loads.
Equipment selection: the Sharp solution
The customer chose a Sharp wall-mounted unit, renowned for its reliability and energy efficiency. This wall-mounted air conditioner is distinguished by:
-
A capacity suitable for small to medium-sized rooms (approximately 9,000 to 12,000 BTU depending on the range chosen).
-
A compact design that fits harmoniously above a French window.
-
Quiet operation, ideal for living rooms.
-
Energy Star certified energy performance, promoting access to certain subsidies available in Quebec .
Technical challenges of the installation
Installing a wall-mounted air conditioner in a kitchen is never a trivial task. Since space is often limited and cluttered with cabinets, range hoods, and appliances, every available inch must be maximized. In this project:
-
The unit was fixed directly above the door leading out, to free up the side walls.
-
The refrigerant pipework has been carefully planned to pass discreetly through the rear bulkhead, without interfering with the operation of the door.
-
Particular attention was paid to condensate management. Gravity drainage was preferred, but we provided simple maintenance access in the event of the later addition of a lifting pump.
Steps of implementation
-
Preparation and tracing : checking the location, identifying the fixing points and the passage of pipes.
-
Drilling and capping : creation of a precise opening behind the unit, protected by a white finishing cover ensuring aesthetic integration.
-
Refrigerant connections : installation of the insulated copper line and connection to the outdoor compressor (installed discreetly on a slab in the backyard).
-
Electrical connection : draw a dedicated line to the panel, with a circuit breaker calibrated in accordance with CSA and RBQ standards.
-
Commissioning and testing : pressure control, air flow verification, thermostat calibration and full explanation to the customer.
Final result and benefits for the customer
The installation provided the homeowner with consistent thermal comfort in the kitchen, even during the summer heatwaves. The unit's positioning ensures even air distribution to the adjoining dining room. The Sharp air conditioner's discreet design blends naturally into the space without overwhelming the decor.
Benefits for the customer:
-
A wall-mounted air conditioner adapted to space constraints.
-
A significant reduction in energy costs compared to a portable air conditioner.
-
A system certified for low outdoor temperatures, allowing use in supplementary heating mode in spring and autumn.
-
An installation carried out according to the highest AirGreen quality standards, guaranteeing durability and peace of mind .
