In a single-family home in Sainte-Dorothée, Laval , our AirGreen team recently installed a Gree FreeMatch wall-mounted heat pump , a system renowned for its flexibility and performance in Quebec's climate. This project perfectly illustrates how a multi-zone system can seamlessly integrate into an existing living space while significantly improving year-round thermal comfort.
A Gree FreeMatch system adapted for residential use in Laval
The Gree FreeMatch is a MultiZone heat pump (mini-split multi-zone) designed to power multiple indoor units from a single outdoor condenser. Even when only one wall-mounted unit is visible at this stage, this type of configuration offers valuable scalability: it is possible to add other units later in the house (bedrooms, basement, office) without replacing the central system.
In the residential context of Sainte-Dorothée — detached houses, open spaces, well-defined floors — the FreeMatch range stands out because of:
-
its independent management of the zones ,
-
its high energy efficiency ,
-
its reliability in heating during the Quebec winter .
Type of machine installed
This is a Gree FreeMatch multi-zone wall-mounted heat pump , equipped with a white, horizontal, wall-mounted indoor unit with a motorized damper and optimized air distribution. This type of unit is ideal for main living areas such as the living room, where heating and cooling demand is most constant.
Selected model: Gree FreeMatch (R-32 residential range)
Since the exact model was not legible in the photo, we installed a new generation Gree FreeMatch wall-mounted heat pump , operating on R-32 refrigerant , a more ecological and efficient choice than older generations.
Gree's FreeMatch systems are generally available in 2- to 5-zone configurations, with total capacities ranging from approximately 30,000 to 42,000 BTU , making them ideally suited for homes in Laval, whether bungalows, cottages, or multi-level houses.
Visible installation details and technical constraints
The installation shown features a wall-mounted unit positioned above a brick fireplace , a choice that requires careful planning. Our technicians took several key elements into account:
-
Height and clearance : optimal positioning for even air distribution without interfering with the fireplace mantel.
-
Interior aesthetics : discreet integration, respecting the ceiling moldings and wall finish.
-
Existing structure : load-bearing wall with brick facing at the fireplace level, requiring precise drilling for refrigeration connections.
-
Safety and compliance : regulatory distances respected between the heat pump and the heat source (fireplace).
A professional ladder and specialized tools visible on site attest to careful work, carried out according to AirGreen standards and the requirements of the manufacturer Gree.
Four-season comfort in Sainte-Dorothée
Thanks to this Gree FreeMatch heat pump , the occupants now benefit from:
-
quiet and efficient air conditioning during Laval's hot and humid summers,
-
stable and economical heating during periods of extreme cold,
-
of a significant reduction in energy consumption , compared to traditional electrical systems.
Multi-zone management also helps to avoid unnecessarily heating or cooling the entire house, an advantage particularly appreciated in family homes.
