A Complete Transformation of Residential Comfort on the South Shore
At AirGreen, every HVAC installation project is an opportunity to bring tangible improvements to our clients' comfort, energy efficiency, and peace of mind. This recent central heat pump installation in Boucherville perfectly illustrates our approach: technical rigor, adaptation to the realities of existing buildings, and attention to detail at every stage.
In this typical single-family home on the South Shore, the client wanted to replace an old, inefficient electric heating system with a modern solution capable of providing constant comfort in both winter and summer, while significantly reducing energy costs. After a thorough analysis, we chose the MIDEA EVOX G3 2 Tonnes, a central system renowned for its cold climate performance.

Specific Challenges Encountered During Installation in Boucherville
Integration into an Existing Structure
The house was equipped with an old duct network, with certain limitations:
- Irregular duct dimensions
- Partial insulation in some sections
- Restricted access for the outdoor unit
We had to adapt our approach to optimize system performance without undertaking major work.
Outdoor Wall Installation: Precision and Durability
As can be seen from this installation, the outdoor unit was solidly fixed on steel wall brackets, directly onto a brick facade. This technical choice offers several advantages:
- Protection against accumulated snow on the ground
- Better air circulation around the unit
- Reduced vibrations thanks to robust supports
We also took care to:
- Ensure perfect alignment of the unit
- Install anti-vibration dampers
- Protect the electrical line with a secure and compliant enclosure
Key Steps of Our HVAC Installation
1. Complete Thermal Analysis
Before any installation, we conducted a detailed evaluation:
- House area
- Insulation
- Room orientation
- Client's specific needs
This allowed us to confirm that the 2-ton (24,000 BTU) format was perfectly suited.
2. Duct Preparation and Adaptation
We:
- Cleaned and inspected existing ducts
- Adjusted certain sections to improve airflow
- Checked the overall sealing of the system
3. Indoor Unit (Air Handler) Installation
The MIDEA EVOX G3 indoor unit was installed in an optimized technical space, allowing for:
- Easy access for HVAC maintenance
- Uniform air distribution throughout the house
4. Outdoor Unit Placement
Secure wall mounting, connection of refrigerant lines, and electrical installation compliant with Quebec standards.
5. Commissioning and Calibration
We performed:
- A complete vacuum pull (micron test)
- A pressure check
- Airflow calibration using Constant AirFlow 2.0 technology
Final Result: Comfort, Quietness, and Savings
Within the first few days of installation, the client noticed:
- A stable temperature in all rooms
- A significant reduction in indoor noise
- An immediate decrease in energy consumption
This type of central heat pump allows for intelligent modulated operation, avoiding sudden cycles and ensuring continuous comfort.
Available Subsidies and Return on Investment
This installation is eligible for the Hydro-Québec LogisVert subsidy, amounting to up to:
👉 $2,280
This factor plays a key role in the project's profitability, significantly reducing the initial cost.
