An accessible and efficient comfort solution for families
At AirGreen , we support families in Greater Montreal who want to improve their comfort without increasing their energy costs. In a recent project in Chomedey, Laval , our technicians installed an Ameristar wall-mounted heat pump , a brand known for its reliable and affordable systems. The client, a family living in a single-family home, was looking for a unit that could heat in the winter and cool in the summer , while reducing their electricity bill.
Why the Ameristar wall-mounted heat pump is a smart choice
The Ameristar range, distributed in Quebec and integrated into the AirGreen offering, attracts many owners with its value for money and ease of use. Here are some advantages:
-
Efficient heating down to -20°C , ideal for the Laval climate.
-
Fast and quiet air conditioning , ensuring optimal summer comfort.
-
Compact and discreet design , easily integrated into any room.
-
Energy saving , thanks to seasonal efficiency higher than that of electric baseboards.
The model installed in this residence is rated at 12,000 BTU , perfectly suited to the size of the living room and the main open area.
Installation process
Inner head positioning
The wall-mounted fan was installed in an open area of the living room, approximately two meters above the floor, ensuring good air circulation. The backlit digital display, visible on the unit, allows for simple and intuitive control.
Conduits and drilling
Technicians drilled through the exterior wall to install the refrigerant and electrical pipes, protected by discreet white capping . The thermal insulation and sealing were carefully carried out to ensure a perfect seal and prevent any air infiltration.
Condensate management
The system was designed with a gravity drain , allowing water to drain naturally to the outside, without requiring an additional pump.
Compressor Installation
Outside, the Ameristar compressor was mounted on wall brackets , keeping it elevated to protect it from snow and moisture. A clearance was maintained around the unit to promote optimal ventilation.
Technical challenges and solutions
One of the main challenges of this project was the wall's unique thickness, which required deeper drilling and precise conduit management. Thanks to our technicians' experience, the operation was carried out smoothly and without impacting the interior aesthetics. The electrical connection was also adapted to comply with RBQ and CSA standards.
Grants and savings
Ameristar appliances are eligible for several provincial and federal grant programs , including the energy transition program to encourage the use of efficient HVAC systems. This allowed the family to reduce their investment cost while ensuring a rapid return on investment in electricity savings.
End result: comfort and peace of mind
After commissioning, the family immediately felt a noticeable difference: a soft, even coolness throughout the room and the certainty of reliable heating for the coming winter. The minimalist design of the indoor unit blended perfectly with their decor, and the entire system operates in appreciable silence.
