Optimizing the comfort of a single-family home with a well-designed HVAC system
At AirGreen , every wall-mounted heat pump installation project in the greater Montreal area is an opportunity to demonstrate our expertise and attention to detail. This time, we carried out an installation in a family residence located in Laval , a typical suburban area, where the owners wanted to improve both their summer comfort and their winter energy efficiency.
Equipment selection: the Friedrich wall-mounted heat pump
The client opted for a Friedrich wall-mounted heat pump , recognized for its reliability and performance adapted to North American climates.
-
Capacity: 12,000 BTU, ideal for an open-plan living room and kitchen area.
-
Energy efficiency: Energy Star certification, guaranteeing substantial electricity savings.
-
Operation in cold weather: efficiency maintained down to approximately −25°C, an essential criterion for Laval winters.
-
Eligibility for subsidies: provincial programs such as LogisVert and certain federal aid.
Site analysis and challenges encountered
The installation was carried out on a house with vinyl siding. We had to deal with:
-
A significant facade height requiring a long vertical route for the refrigeration pipes.
-
The obligation to preserve the aesthetics of the house with white capping perfectly aligned with the lines of the cladding.
-
A confined space near a metal fence, which required precise positioning of the outdoor condenser to ensure adequate ventilation.
Technical details of the installation
-
Outdoor unit: placed on a stable concrete slab, away from pedestrian traffic and protected from possible impacts.
-
Refrigerated path: more than 7 meters long, carefully covered in white to fit into the wall.
-
Condensate drainage: gravity, thus avoiding the need for a lifting pump and reducing future maintenance costs.
-
Power supply: connection to the existing panel with a dedicated circuit breaker, compliant with the standards of the Canadian Electrical Code.
Immediate benefits for occupants
Thanks to this installation, owners now benefit from:
-
Stable thermal comfort all year round , with efficient air conditioning in summer and additional heating in winter.
-
A reduction in their energy bill , compared to their old direct electric heating system.
-
Added value to their property , because a recent and energy-efficient HVAC installation represents a major asset in the Laval real estate market.
