In this recent project in Ville-Marie , in the heart of downtown Montreal, our AirGreen team installed a Gree FreeMatch multi-zone heat pump , a solution perfectly suited to modern condos and urban residential spaces where comfort, discretion and energy performance are essential.
A typically urban setting: a modern condo in Ville-Marie
The observed environment is that of a condominium apartment in a modern building in the city center: light-colored walls, clean lines, standard ceilings, and maximum space optimization. In this type of dwelling, every detail counts: the appliance must be quiet , aesthetically pleasing , and efficient , without compromising the interior design.
It is precisely in this context that the Gree FreeMatch stands out.
Type of system installed: wall-mounted multi-zone heat pump
This is a multi-zone heat pump (mini-split multi-zone) , recognizable by its compact and elegant horizontal indoor wall unit. This type of system allows several indoor units to be connected to a single outdoor compressor , a major advantage for Montreal condos and multiplexes subject to space constraints and condominium regulations.
Why choose a multi-zone heat pump in Montreal?
-
Independent temperature control per room
-
Reduction of external footprint
-
Better overall energy efficiency
-
Optimal comfort in summer and winter
