In this residential project in the Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood , our AirGreen team installed a Gree FreeMatch multi-zone heat pump , perfectly suited to the realities of Montreal brick plexes with rear balconies and limited outdoor spaces. This type of environment demands precise technical choices, both for performance and for the discreet integration of the system.
An ideal multi-zone system for Plateau plexes
The Gree FreeMatch is a multi-zone heat pump designed to power several indoor units from a single outdoor condenser. In a typical Plateau home, often spread over one or two floors with enclosed rooms, this type of configuration allows for:
-
independent temperature control in each zone,
-
a reduction in external dimensions (a single compressor),
-
excellent energy efficiency in both summer and winter.
Even when the exact model is not visually legible, Gree's FreeMatch range is known for its compatibility with several wall units and for its reliability in Quebec's climate.
Installation details observed on this project
The exterior installation was done under the rear balcony , a common choice in Plateau-Mont-Royal buildings. This configuration offers several advantages when properly executed:
-
Wall-mounted condenser securely anchored on metal supports, avoiding any direct contact with the ground.
-
Natural protection against snow accumulation thanks to the balcony slab.
-
The refrigeration lines are routed cleanly and discreetly , moving upwards towards the interior without compromising the aesthetics of the rear facade.
-
Sufficient clearance to ensure optimal air circulation and facilitate maintenance.
We pay particular attention to the management of vibrations and noise, a crucial issue in dense neighborhoods like the Plateau, where proximity between neighbors is a daily reality.
Performance and comfort all year round
The Gree FreeMatch heat pump offers excellent efficiency in both heating and cooling. It allows you to:
-
stable heating during Montreal winters , even during periods of extreme cold,
-
efficient and quiet air conditioning during humid summers,
-
controlled energy consumption, contributing to the reduction of electricity costs .
This type of system is particularly appreciated by owner-occupiers and multi-unit residential buildings who wish to improve comfort without altering the existing structure.
Why AirGreen for an installation on the Plateau-Mont-Royal?
Installing a heat pump in a central neighborhood like the Plateau requires in-depth knowledge of Montreal's building culture : brick walls, restricted access, municipal regulations, and aesthetic requirements. At AirGreen, we tailor each project to the specific context of the building.
Our approach includes:
-
a precise analysis of the outdoor location ,
-
the choice of a system consistent with the interior layout,
-
a neat, durable installation that complies with current standards.
Every detail counts to ensure a high-performing, quiet system that is perfectly integrated into the urban environment.
