A new installation for four-season comfort
At AirGreen , every HVAC installation project is more than just a mandate: it's a promise of lasting comfort and energy efficiency. Recently, our team traveled to Sainte-Julie , on Montreal's South Shore , to complete the installation of a Canair wall-mounted heat pump . The client, the owner of a single-family home, wanted to replace an old wall-mounted air conditioner with a more efficient system capable of providing heating and cooling all year round.
Choosing the Canair heat pump: efficiency and robustness
The selected model, a Canair 18,000 BTU with R-32 refrigerant , offers exceptional energy efficiency, with a Seasonal Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of 23 and a heating capacity maintained even at -25°C . For a harsh Quebec climate, this type of unit represents a strategic investment: it considerably reduces dependence on electric heating while ensuring constant comfort.
The advantages of the Canair model :
-
Inverter technology for precise power modulation.
-
Smart defrost function adapted to Quebec's climate.
-
Low noise level (only 21 dB in night mode).
-
R-32 refrigerant, more environmentally friendly and more efficient than R-410A.
Preparation and installation on site
Our team responded on a cold winter morning, with the ground still covered in snow —a perfect setting to demonstrate our expertise even in difficult conditions.
Step 1: Preparation of the site
After the initial inspection, we have:
-
Checked the electrical capacity of the existing circuit breaker.
-
Secured the work area and cleared the location of the future condenser.
-
Pre-assembled galvanized wall brackets to accommodate the outdoor unit.
Step 2: Installing the Canair Condenser
The outdoor unit has been carefully installed on a raised PVC base , to avoid any contact with snow and ensure better air circulation.
The refrigeration connections were then carefully bent and insulated to reduce heat loss. A 45-minute vacuum was carried out to remove all traces of moisture from the circuit.
Step 3: Installing the indoor unit
Inside, we positioned the wall unit in the center of the living room to optimize air distribution. Particular attention was paid to the aesthetics:
-
Passing the conduits through a white wall trunking for a clean finish.
-
Electrical connection hidden behind the unit.
-
Checking the sound level and airflow in test mode.
Step 4: Commissioning and final checks
Once the system was pressurized, our technicians checked:
-
The blowing temperature (confirmed at 20°C in heating mode).
-
The vacuum rate and the absence of leakage.
-
Inverter compressor stability and power consumption.
Result: immediate comfort and optimal performance
As soon as it was turned on, the customer noticed the difference: a rapid temperature rise, remarkably quiet operation, and a consistent feeling throughout the room. Thanks to Inverter technology , the heat pump adjusts its power according to demand, ensuring 30% less energy consumption than his old air conditioner.
AirGreen recommendations for a sustainable installation
Our technicians reminded the customer of some essential maintenance tips:
-
Clean the interior filters every 6 to 8 weeks.
-
Clear snow and leaves around the outdoor unit.
-
Have the system checked annually by an AirGreen certified professional.
These simple steps ensure optimal performance and extend the life of the device by several years.
