A facility adapted to the harsh winters of Greater Montreal
At AirGreen , we know how challenging Quebec's climate is for heating and cooling systems. That's why we offer high-performance wall-mounted heat pumps designed for the most demanding conditions. In this project in Sainte-Dorothée, Laval , our team installed a Sharp Eco Inverter heat pump from the PlasmaCluster range, renowned for its energy efficiency and durability.
The client's objective was clear: to replace an old, inefficient system with a reliable solution capable of providing both economical heating in winter and cooling comfort in summer.
Outdoor unit installed on raised support
The outdoor unit was mounted on a reinforced aluminum support resting on treated wooden sleepers, an essential configuration in a Nordic environment. This approach has several advantages:
-
Raised above ground level : helps prevent snow and ice from accumulating around the compressor.
-
Enhanced stability : The metal structure effectively absorbs vibrations and extends the system's lifespan.
-
Easy access for maintenance : the height allows technicians to intervene quickly, even in winter.
Additionally, the chosen location provides good air circulation, which optimizes the machine's energy efficiency.
The Sharp Eco Inverter: a strategic choice
The Sharp Eco Inverter heat pump is an ideal solution for families in Laval and the North Shore, thanks to several key features:
-
Inverter Technology : Automatically adjusts power to maintain a constant temperature and reduce energy consumption.
-
PlasmaCluster System : Improves indoor air quality by neutralizing certain particles and allergens.
-
Winter heating performance : designed to operate efficiently even in extreme cold, an essential requirement for the Laval climate.
-
Eligibility for grant programs : this type of high-performance wall-mounted heat pump may be eligible for financial assistance such as LogisVert or Canada Greener Homes .
Challenges encountered and solutions provided
As with any HVAC installation in winter , our team had to deal with certain constraints:
-
Snow and ice on the ground : before installation, we carefully cleared the snow and leveled the surface to ensure the stability of the support.
-
Condensate management : Draining defrost water is essential to prevent icy buildup. We have provided sufficient clearance for efficient gravity drainage.
These precautions not only ensure the performance of the system, but also its long-term durability.
