Generic diagram: wall-mounted heat pump, indoor and outdoor units

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.

A residential project that combines performance and aesthetics

At AirGreen , we understand that every wall-mounted heat pump installation in Greater Montreal must meet two imperatives: energy efficiency and seamless integration into the home. This project in Anjou perfectly illustrates this philosophy. Our client wanted a reliable system capable of ensuring optimal comfort in all seasons, while preserving the exterior aesthetics of their brick home.

The solution chosen was a Sharp Eco Inverter , a heat pump known for its stable performance, even during Quebec's harsh winters. This inverter technology allows for continuous power adjustment, ensuring substantial energy savings and quiet operation.


An installation adapted to brick architecture

Support and positioning

The outdoor unit is mounted on a raised metal support, ideal for avoiding direct contact with the ground, especially when snow accumulates. This positioning protects the compressor and ensures optimal air circulation.

Discreet capping and harmonized color

A key element of this project was the installation of brown capping , perfectly matching the red brick of the house. This aesthetic treatment allows the refrigerant and electrical conduits to be concealed, while protecting the installation from the elements. The layout follows the contour of the facade, ensuring a discreet and elegant integration.

Electrical connection

The electrical box was installed in close proximity to the compressor, ensuring increased safety and facilitating access for future maintenance. The proximity to the main panel helped limit the length of wiring, thus reducing potential energy losses.


Four-season comfort with the Sharp Eco Inverter

Energy performance

The Sharp Eco Inverter heat pump is designed to offer:

  • High energy efficiency in heating and air conditioning mode,

  • Stable performance even in extreme cold,

  • A significant reduction in electricity consumption thanks to continuous modulation of the compressor.

Potential grants

In the Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore and South Shore areas, several financial assistance programs recognize the performance of Energy Star models like this Sharp unit. This often results in an accelerated return on investment for homeowners.


Site-specific challenges and solutions

Each house has its own unique features. Here, the outdoor space was limited by a garden wall and existing landscaping. Our technicians adapted the pipe layout to circumvent these obstacles, while ensuring the strength of the support or the aesthetics of the plantings were not compromised. Drainage was optimized with a discreet, gravity-fed outlet, preventing any water from pooling near the foundations.

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.
