In the residential neighborhood of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , we had the pleasure of modernizing the comfort of a single-family home by installing a Midea EVOX G3 central heat pump . The client's objective was clear: to replace a traditional, energy-intensive system with a high-performance, quiet solution ready to withstand Montreal winters, while taking advantage of the existing air distribution system.
Context: a typical brick house in Rosemont
The property is a red brick house with a basement, typical of the quiet streets of Rosemont. The client wanted:
-
A central system that heats and cools the entire house via existing ducts.
-
A discreet and clean installation on the outside, without harming the aesthetics of the facade.
-
A device capable of heating efficiently in very cold weather while reducing electricity bills.
The solution proposed by our team: a Midea EVOX G3 central heat pump , a high-efficiency model using the new generation R-454B refrigerant, designed to offer excellent performance in both heating and cooling modes.
Why a Midea EVOX G3 central heat pump?
Midea's EVOX G3 range stands out thanks to several advantages that make it a logical choice for this type of housing:
-
Centralized comfort : a single system serves all rooms via ducts; no more significant temperature variations from one room to another.
-
High-efficiency technology : high-performance compressor and advanced control electronics to optimize consumption according to actual demand.
-
Quiet operation : the large side fan is designed for high airflow while limiting noise levels in the yard.
-
Compatibility with Quebec winters : the design of the range ensures good heating performance at low temperatures, particularly important in Montreal.
By retaining the existing ducts, we were able to limit the extent of the interior work, while offering a significant gain in energy performance compared to the old system.
An outdoor installation designed for our winters
The Midea outdoor unit was installed on a raised wall bracket , securely anchored to the house's concrete foundation. This choice wasn't purely aesthetic; it addressed several technical constraints specific to Montreal's climate.
Raising the roof and creating clearances
-
The heat pump is raised above ground level to avoid the accumulation of snow and ice in winter.
-
The clearances around the device are respected to ensure good air circulation and facilitate maintenance.
-
Positioning it along the brick wall protects the unit from prevailing winds while maintaining easy access for our technicians.
Vibration and noise management
The metal bracket is equipped with anti-vibration pads and robust fixings. Result:
-
Less vibration transmitted to the structure of the house.
-
A discreet operation for both the owner and the neighborhood.
Finishing of refrigeration and electrical connections
The refrigerant pipes and cables are neatly grouped together in a vertical protective cover, ensuring:
-
Better protection against shocks and bad weather.
-
A clean and professional aesthetic , in perfect harmony with the brick facade.
There is also an externalized electrical protection device, allowing for a rapid power cut-off during service operations.
Integration with the existing forced air system
Inside, the Midea EVOX G3 central heat pump is connected to an air handling unit using the existing ductwork in the house. We have:
-
Checked the airtightness and sizing of the ducts , in order to guarantee optimal airflow to each room.
-
Adjusted the device settings to ensure a smooth transition between heating and cooling modes.
-
It is designed to be compatible with a possible auxiliary electric element , to ensure safe heating in case of extreme cold.
The central thermostat now offers the customer simple and intuitive control , with time slots and temperature settings adapted to their lifestyle.
Performance, comfort and energy savings
With its Midea EVOX G3 central heat pump, the homeowner benefits from:
-
Four-season comfort : efficient air conditioning in summer, efficient heating in autumn, winter and spring.
-
With better energy efficiency compared to a traditional electrical system or an old furnace combined with a conventional air conditioner.
-
More uniform air in all rooms thanks to ducted distribution.
In the medium term, reducing energy consumption makes it possible to recoup the investment , while also reducing the carbon footprint of the house.
Maintenance and longevity: the role of AirGreen
To ensure the longevity of your Midea central heat pump, we recommend:
-
An annual system inspection : cleaning of the outdoor unit, checking of electrical connections, control of airflow and operating parameters.
-
Maintaining sufficient clearance around the unit (no accumulated snow, debris or vegetation stuck to the condenser).
-
Regular replacement of the central air system filters .
By choosing AirGreen, the customer benefits from comprehensive support : pre-purchase advice, certified installation, after-sales follow-up, and reminders for preventative maintenance. Our goal is simple: to ensure that the Midea EVOX G3 heat pump remains reliable, efficient, and quiet for many years to come.
