A careful installation to optimize comfort and energy performance
In Duvernay, a residential area of Laval known for its red brick homes and quiet streets, our AirGreen team has just installed a Gree central heat pump that perfectly illustrates our meticulous approach and expertise in HVAC . The goal: to offer a homeowner a complete heating and air conditioning solution, adapted to the Quebec climate and the specific needs of their home.
Choosing the Gree central heat pump
The Gree central heat pump stands out for its robustness, high energy efficiency, and compatibility with grant programs available in Quebec. Thanks to its technology using R-32 refrigerant, it reduces the carbon footprint while maximizing indoor comfort, even during harsh winters when temperatures drop below -25°C.
Among the major advantages of this range:
-
Energy efficient with competitive SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings.
-
Quiet operation , ideal for residential areas of Laval.
-
Durability and reliability , reinforced by anti-corrosion protection on the exchanger.
-
Compatibility with smart thermostats , allowing fine management of consumption.
Context of the project in Duvernay
The house in question is a typical brick duplex for the area, with a concrete balcony overlooking the backyard. The client was looking for a solution that would replace their old, energy-intensive electric heating system while also integrating central air conditioning.
The available space and the structure of the house led to the choice of an installation on a raised support fixed to the rear balcony. This configuration allows:
-
To ensure optimal ventilation of the outdoor unit.
-
To protect equipment from accumulations of snow and rainwater.
-
To facilitate future maintenance of the machine.
Technical details of the installation
Our team has implemented a complete system including:
-
A central Gree condenser installed on a sturdy metal support, securely fixed to the balcony for perfect stability.
-
Insulated and capped refrigeration pipes along the brick wall, ensuring long-lasting and aesthetic protection.
-
Gravity drainage of condensates , made possible by the height configuration.
-
Seamless integration with the existing interior duct network, thus optimizing air distribution in all rooms.
Particular care has been taken with the electrical connection , with an upgrade of the wiring and a dedicated circuit breaker, ensuring compliance with electrical standards and optimal safety.
Challenges encountered and solutions provided
One of the challenges of this installation was the limited space and the need to minimize vibrations transmitted to the balcony structure. To address this, we used:
-
Anti-vibration silent blocks , significantly reducing sound transmission.
-
Precise adjustment of the support height to meet the manufacturer's required clearances.
These adjustments ensure smooth and quiet operation, without disturbing the owner or the neighborhood.
Final result and benefits for the customer
Thanks to this installation, the owner now benefits from:
-
Four-season comfort , with efficient air conditioning in summer and effective heating in winter.
-
A significant reduction in your electricity bill , thanks to the high energy efficiency of the heat pump.
-
Eligibility for provincial and federal subsidies , including LogisVert and Greener Homes, which reduces its initial investment.
-
A durable installation, protected against the weather and easy to maintain.
The result is a more comfortable, energy-efficient and value-added home, with a reliable and modern HVAC system.
