When this Brossard homeowner contacted us, his goal was clear: to enjoy a high-performance, quiet and reliable heating and air conditioning system, capable of withstanding the harsh winters of the South Shore while offering optimized comfort in several areas of the house.
We suggested the installation of a Gree multi-zone heat pump , an ideal solution for residences that want both high energy efficiency and maximum flexibility in the distribution of comfort.
The project context
The property is a single-family home with a lawn at the rear. The available space on the side facade offered a perfect location for the outdoor unit: unobstructed, well-ventilated, and far enough away from windows and living areas to limit perceived noise inside.
The client's priorities:
-
Reduce your electricity bills by replacing a less efficient heating system.
-
Gain comfort in the main rooms, especially the living room and bedrooms.
-
Having reliable equipment, capable of heating even in very cold weather.
-
Benefit from a clean, durable and aesthetically pleasing installation.
Choosing a Gree multi-zone heat pump
We recommended a new generation Gree multi-zone heat pump , with a capacity of approximately 36,000 BTU , capable of powering multiple wall heads inside the house.
Some advantages of this multi-zone configuration:
-
Comfort zoning : each equipped room has its own thermostat and settings, allowing the temperature to be adjusted according to actual use.
-
Heating performance : Gree's inverter compressor technology offers excellent efficiency even in negative temperatures, while automatically modulating power to avoid overconsumption.
-
Energy efficiency : the heat pump consumes much less electricity than an electric baseboard heating system, while maintaining a stable and comfortable temperature.
-
Quiet operation : both the outdoor unit and the indoor units are designed to be discreet, which is particularly appreciated in a quiet residential area like Brossard.
An outdoor installation designed for our winters
The photo clearly shows the Gree outdoor unit mounted on a galvanized steel bracket securely fixed to the wall. This configuration was not chosen at random.
Elevated support for snow removal and durability
We deliberately raised the heat pump:
-
To protect it from the accumulation of snow and ice , which is common on the South Shore.
-
To ensure good air circulation under and around the device, essential for the system's efficiency.
-
To facilitate long-term maintenance and service .
Beneath the unit, we created a bed of river stones . This decorative rock area allows for:
-
Efficient drainage of condensation water and melted snow.
-
To avoid mud splashes on the wall and equipment.
-
To improve the overall aesthetics of the technical facade at the rear of the house.
Conduit and power supply management
On the right side, the refrigerant lines and communication cables are grouped in white protective covers that terminate directly at the foundation. This clean and discreet finish:
-
Protects pipes against impacts and weathering.
-
Limits heat loss by keeping the insulation intact.
-
It integrates visually with the facade for a neat result.
The heat pump's power supply is provided by a rigid conduit leading to a disconnect box located near the meter. We always adhere to:
-
The requirements of the Quebec Electrical Code .
-
Recommendations from the manufacturer Gree.
-
The necessary clearances to allow the electrician and our technicians to work safely.
At the front of the unit, two black corrugated plastic sleeves are also visible, designed to channel and protect certain drains or technical conduits . This type of detail is typical of our approach: thinking now about maintenance and possible future system upgrades.
Indoor comfort: multiple zones, one heat pump
Although the indoor units are not visible in the photo, this project in Brossard includes several Gree wall-mounted units strategically placed throughout the house:
-
A main head unit in the living room/living area , to ensure everyday comfort.
-
One or more heads in the rooms , to provide a stable temperature at night.
-
A possible head for the basement , in order to manage the humidity and temperature variations typical of lower levels.
Thanks to this multi-zone configuration:
-
The customer avoids unnecessarily heating areas that are not used.
-
Each person can adjust the temperature of their room according to their preferences.
-
The house is comfortable in summer as in winter, without drafts or sudden changes.
Results for the Brossard client
During commissioning, we took the time to:
-
Check the pressures, flow rate and performance of the heat pump.
-
Explain to the owner how the different remote controls and heating and air conditioning modes work.
-
Provide advice on basic maintenance: cleaning filters, clearing the outdoor unit in winter, etc.
Initial customer feedback:
-
A more consistent feeling of comfort throughout the house.
-
An expected decrease in the electricity bill compared to his previous heating method.
-
The satisfaction of having a clean, well-integrated installation ready to face many Quebec winters.
