Careful integration into a Montreal brick plex
At AirGreen , we know that installing a wall-mounted heat pump in a Montreal plex requires careful attention to architectural details. Here, in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood, we took charge of installing a compact CanAir unit, perfectly suited to the comfort needs of an urban home.
The context of the installation
The client wanted an efficient solution to provide both heating and air conditioning in their apartment located on the upper floor of a typical red brick building, with metal balconies overlooking the backyard. This type of environment often imposes space, noise, and security constraints, which we know how to anticipate and resolve.
Choosing the CanAir wall-mounted heat pump
The CanAir brand is renowned for its reliability and excellent value. The unit chosen here has a capacity suitable for an average-sized home, with good energy efficiency and stable performance in cold weather. This type of equipment is often eligible for provincial subsidies when it is Energy Star certified, thus offering the customer additional savings in the long term.
Installation Challenges and Solutions
Several constraints were present:
-
Working height : the outdoor unit had to be fixed to the wall, under the upper balcony, requiring the use of sturdy brackets and reinforced anchoring to support the weight and limit vibrations.
-
Wiring and piping : discreet white capping was installed, running along the brick facade, to protect the refrigerant pipes and ensure a harmonious aesthetic.
-
Drainage management : the installation was carried out in gravity mode, thus avoiding the use of a condensate pump, which reduces the risk of breakdown and simplifies maintenance.
-
Restricted access : The presence of a balcony and a barbecue limited the work space, but our technicians were able to maneuver carefully to ensure safe and efficient installation.

-
4-season comfort (heating in winter, air conditioning in summer).
