At AirGreen , we recently completed the installation of an Elios wall-mounted heat pump in a typical residential area of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , Montreal. This neighbourhood, known for its brick facades, narrow side courtyards, and dense yet welcoming buildings, perfectly represents the challenges and opportunities inherent in urban HVAC systems. This project exemplifies our approach: a high-performance, discreet solution perfectly suited to everyday Montreal life.
An Elios wall-mounted heat pump: a logical choice for urban residential buildings
The installed system is an Elios brand wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split) , a wise choice for single-family homes and Montreal plexes that wish to improve their comfort without undertaking heavy work on existing ducts.
In this particular case, we opted for a new-generation Elios wall-mounted heat pump , operating with a modern refrigerant (R-32 or equivalent depending on the model), known for its reliability, energy efficiency, and excellent performance-to-price ratio. While the exact model isn't highlighted, it's a configuration consistent with the capacities commonly installed in Rosemont, generally between 12,000 and 18,000 BTU , ideal for main living areas or entire floors.
Location analysis: Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie
The visual context of the installation speaks volumes:
-
Exposed brick wall , typical of pre-war Montreal residences
-
Limited outdoor space , requiring precise positioning of the outdoor unit
-
The absence of a concrete slab is compensated for by installation on solid and well-leveled supports.
These elements are characteristic of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, where each installation must be designed to respect both the aesthetics of the building, municipal regulations and the comfort of the occupants.
Prominent installation details observable
The Elios outdoor unit was installed with meticulous attention to detail:
-
Mounting on sturdy metal supports , raising the device to protect it from snow, moisture and debris
-
Adequate clearance from the brick wall , promoting good air circulation and reducing vibrations
-
Neatly enclosed refrigeration connections , ensuring a clean finish and durable protection against the elements.
-
Discreet electrical connection , compliant with current Quebec standards
This type of installation is essential to ensure the longevity of the system, especially in an urban environment where freeze/thaw cycles and snow accumulation can be demanding.
Performance and comfort in all seasons
A properly installed Elios wall-mounted heat pump offers remarkable comfort throughout the year:
In summer
-
Efficient and quiet air conditioning
-
Rapid cooling of main components
-
Precise temperature and humidity control
In winter
-
Efficient heating during moderately cold periods
-
Significant reduction in dependence on traditional heating systems
-
Seamless transition between heating and air conditioning depending on the season
For residents of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, this translates into constant comfort , even during the climatic variations typical of Montreal.
