Professional installation of a 24,000 BTU Gree FreeMatch R32 DoubleZone heat pump on Montreal's South Shore, with two 12,000 BTU indoor units. This energy-efficient, quiet solution is eligible for a $2,832 LogisVert grant.
Take a tour of the installation
Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.
In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.
Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.
Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.
The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.
Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.
The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.
On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.
The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.
A dual-zone performance by Gree, perfectly integrated into the residential architecture of the South Shore
At AirGreen, each dual-zone heat pump installation is designed to precisely meet the needs of Greater Montreal's homes and businesses.

A meticulous installation by AirGreen
The installation took place in a narrow side courtyard, backed by a red brick wall, requiring a reinforced wall mount with anti-vibration support to prevent noise transmission inside. We have:
-
Used wall brackets with blue shock absorbers , suitable for the load and vibrations of the compressor.
-
Laid the refrigeration pipes and electrical wiring in an optimized route on the side facade.
-
Checked clearance, drainage and accessibility standards for future maintenance.
The objective was twofold: to respect the aesthetics of the house while maximizing the thermal efficiency of each air-conditioned zone.
Covered areas and thermal comfort
The first indoor module was installed in the main living area to ensure rapid cooling of the living spaces. The second module serves an upstairs bedroom , ensuring optimal nighttime comfort even during summer heat waves or extreme cold.
Compatible Gree wall units (CHARMO, CLIVIA, or AIRY) offer sleek aesthetics and smooth air diffusion. The remote control with I FEEL function detects the room temperature and automatically adjusts the power for continuous comfort.

The big day, step by step
The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.
We look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
Model, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
Floors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
A single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
Set on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
Connected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
A dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
Leak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
Remote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.

What would it look like at your place?
Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.
Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.

Your own project, step by step
What to do, season by season
Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.
- Clean the indoor unit's filters.
- Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
- Test cooling before the first hot days.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
Is your home ready?
Check what applies at your place. A "no" is not a refusal: it is what we sort out during the estimate.
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.
During defrost cycles. That water must drain away without forming ice.
2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.
Windows, insulation, orientation and how the room is used all count. Capacity is chosen on site.
3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.
One head per room, all on the same condenser. Each room keeps its own temperature.
4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.
It must stay accessible: it is what shuts the unit off for service.
