Strategic HVAC Installation for Optimal Year-Round Comfort in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue
In a peaceful residential area of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, our AirGreen team recently completed a comprehensive HVAC installation featuring a 3-ton MIDEA EVOX G3 central heat pump. This project perfectly illustrates our rigorous approach, technical expertise, and ability to adapt each installation to the specific realities of the building and the Quebec climate.
The client, owner of a single-family home built in the 1990s, wanted to replace an old, inefficient, and costly central system. The objectives were clear: improve thermal comfort, reduce energy consumption, and benefit from available subsidies in Quebec, particularly in the regions of Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore.
Why the MIDEA EVOX G3 is a Smart Choice for Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue
Exceptional Performance in Cold Climates
The MIDEA EVOX G3 central heat pump stands out for its ability to operate efficiently down to -30°C, an essential criterion for harsh Quebec winters. Thanks to its advanced Inverter technology and powerful compressor, it maintains stable heat production even during periods of extreme cold.
In the case of this residence, located near the river, cold winds and humidity exacerbate heat loss. Choosing the EVOX G3 helps offset these constraints and ensures constant indoor temperature in all rooms.
Key Technical Data
- Cooling Capacity: 36,000 BTU
- Power: 3 tons
- SEER2: 17.7
- HSPF2: 10.0
- EER2: 12.0
- Refrigerant: R-454B (low environmental impact)
- ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate Certified
- Integrated WiFi
- Outdoor Sound Level: 62.5 dB(A)
These characteristics not only enable reliable performance but also significantly reduce long-term energy costs.
Challenges Encountered During Installation in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue
1. Optimal Outdoor Positioning
The outdoor unit was installed on a sturdy wall bracket, slightly elevated from the ground. This choice is never trivial:
- Protection against snow accumulation in winter
- Reduction of vibrations transmitted to the structure
- Optimization of drainage
- Preservation of ground space
In this project, the proximity of a foundation wall and stone landscaping required millimeter-precise accuracy to ensure a clean, aesthetic, and durable installation.
2. Management of Existing Ducts
The previous system used aging ducts with some efficiency losses. We proceeded with:
- A complete inspection of the network
- Thorough cleaning
- Adjustments to improve airflow
Thanks to Computational Constant Airflow 2.0 technology, the EVOX G3 automatically compensates for pressure variations in the ducts, ensuring uniform air distribution.
3. Electrical Integration and Compatibility
The house was already equipped with a central system but required an electrical upgrade to meet the requirements of the new heat pump (220V). Our team:
- Verified the electrical panel capacity
- Adjusted the connections
- Ensured full compliance with current standards

Concrete Results for the Client
Immediate Improvement in Comfort
From the very first days, the client observed:
- A softer and more uniform heat
- Better humidity management
- Fewer temperature variations between floors
Reduction in Energy Costs
Thanks to the high energy efficiency of the EVOX G3, a significant decrease in heating costs is expected, especially in winter.
Access to a Significant Subsidy
The client is eligible for a LogisVert subsidy of up to $3720, which significantly reduces the initial cost of the project.
