A high-performance central HVAC solution adapted to Saint-Léonard's climate realities
In Saint-Léonard, where seasonal temperature fluctuations are significant, choosing a reliable and efficient central HVAC system is not a mere preference, but a necessity. At AirGreen, we recently completed the installation of a 3-ton MIDEA EVOX G3 central heat pump in a typical single-family home in the area. This project perfectly illustrates our approach: technical precision, adaptation to building constraints, and the pursuit of optimal long-term comfort.
From the initial visit, our team identified a clear need: to replace an old, energy-intensive central system with a modern solution capable of ensuring stable heating even at -30°C, while also providing efficient air conditioning during Montreal's humid summers.
Custom HVAC installation in a complex residential environment
Initial Analysis and Specific Project Challenges
The residence presented several technical constraints:
- An existing duct network requiring adaptation without complete reconstruction
- Limited mechanical space in the basement
- Uneven air distribution in some upstairs rooms
- An old, inefficient electric furnace
Our goal: integrate the MIDEA EVOX G3 central heat pump without compromising the existing structure, while significantly improving air circulation and overall energy efficiency.
Strategic Choice of the 3-ton MIDEA EVOX G3
The selected model — MIDEA EVOX G3 (MO1SE-H36B-2A / MAUSE-H36B-2A) — was chosen for several key technical reasons:
- 36,000 BTU (3 tons) capacity perfectly suited to the area
- SEER2 of 17.7 for efficient air conditioning
- HSPF2 of 10.0 for optimized heating
- Reliable operation down to -30°C
- ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate certification
- Eco-friendly refrigerant R-454B
- Controlled outdoor sound level at 62.5 dB(A)
This choice guarantees not only comfort but also a tangible reduction in energy costs.
Complete Installation Process: Rigor and Precision
Preparation and Infrastructure Upgrade
Before installation, our certified refrigeration technicians:
- Inspected and cleaned existing ducts
- Verified electrical compatibility (220V required)
- Adjusted the configuration to optimize airflow
- Prepared the space to accommodate the vertical indoor unit
Outdoor Unit Installation
The outdoor unit was installed on an elevated base, visible in the project photo. This strategic choice allows for:
- Better protection against snow accumulation
- Reduced vibrations
- Easier accessibility for HVAC maintenance
Indoor Installation and System Configuration
The indoor unit was positioned to:
- Maximize uniform air distribution
- Minimize pressure losses in the ducts
- Allow easy access for maintenance
We also configured:
- The integrated WiFi control system
- Airflow via Computational Constant Airflow 2.0 technology
- Inverter settings for intelligent modulation
Concrete Results After Installation
Significantly Improved Thermal Comfort
From the first days of use, the client observed:
- Uniform temperature in all rooms
- Disappearance of cold spots upstairs
- Smooth transition between heating and cooling
Significant Reduction in Energy Consumption
Thanks to Inverter technology and the system's performance:
- Noticeable decrease in monthly costs
- Optimized operation according to actual demand
- Fewer ON/OFF cycles, thus less wear and tear
Silence and Discretion
The controlled sound level of the MIDEA EVOX G3 contributes to a quieter indoor environment, a particularly appreciated point in this residential area of Saint-Léonard.
Grant and Return on Investment
This project allowed the client to benefit from the LogisVert grant, which can reach $3720 (according to current criteria). This significantly reduces the initial installation cost.
Why this investment is wise
- Extended lifespan thanks to a 12-12-10 year warranty
- Reduced energy bills
- Property value appreciation
- Compliance with modern energy standards
Common mistakes to avoid during central heat pump installation
At AirGreen, we regularly correct poorly executed installations. Here are the pitfalls to avoid:
- Undersizing or oversizing the unit
- Neglecting duct balancing
- Installing the outdoor unit without an adequate base
- Omitting vacuuming and pressure tests
- Ignoring the importance of constant airflow
Every installation must be considered as a whole, not just as a simple equipment replacement.
