A modern HVAC solution for a typical Montreal plex
At AirGreen , we have just completed the installation of a Zephyr central heat pump in a duplex in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood. In this area known for its red brick buildings and distinctive exterior staircases, our teams regularly work to improve the indoor comfort of families while reducing their energy costs.
This installation perfectly illustrates the combination of high-performance technology and careful integration into a dense residential environment.
Choosing a Zephyr heat pump
The Zephyr central heat pump is designed to meet Quebec winters while providing efficient air conditioning in the summer. This recent model is compatible with the Hydro-Québec and LogisVert subsidy programs, thanks to its high energy efficiency and optimized operation down to very low temperatures.
Among its advantages:
-
Superior energy efficiency (SEER2 and HSPF2 compliant with new standards).
-
Reliable in extreme cold down to −25°C.
-
Quiet operation , ideal for urban environments.
-
Compatibility with existing conduits in Montreal duplexes and triplexes.
Installation process
This outdoor unit was installed on sturdy wall brackets , fixed directly to a brick facade. This solution frees up floor space, prevents snow accumulation in winter and extends the life of the unit.
Our technicians also have:
-
Performed a precise drilling for the passage of refrigerant pipes.
-
Protect the connections with a discreet white capping , blending harmoniously into the wall.
-
Installed a gravity drainage system to prevent any accumulation of water near the foundation.
-
Checked the tightness of the connections and the correct balancing of the existing internal conduits.
Challenges encountered and solutions provided
As is often the case in Rosemont , the space available on the rear facade was limited. We therefore have:
-
Position the condenser at a safe height to facilitate circulation.
-
Ensured reinforced insulation of pipes to reduce energy losses.
-
Provide adequate clearance around the unit to optimize air circulation.
These adjustments guarantee both the performance of the heat pump and the peace of mind of the occupants.
Results for occupants
Upon commissioning, the owners noted:
-
Immediate and uniform comfort in all rooms of their home.
-
A significant reduction in electricity consumption compared to their old system.
