A careful installation to optimize the comfort of a multi-level house
At AirGreen , we recently completed the installation of a Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump in a residence in Boucherville , on the South Shore of Montreal. This project demonstrates the importance of strategically choosing the location of the indoor unit to ensure optimal air circulation in a home with a mezzanine and open staircase.
Project background
The owners wanted to replace their old, solely electric heating system with a modern, more energy-efficient solution that accommodates high ceilings. Their goal: to improve thermal comfort upstairs while reducing their energy bills.
Installation details
The Fujitsu wall unit was installed high above the main staircase. This position allows warm air to be distributed downwards in winter and effectively cools the entire floor in summer .
Main features of the installation:
-
Significant working height , requiring the use of a specialized stepladder.
-
Discreet wall opening to the outside, located above the window to reduce visibility of the ducts.
-
Piping and wiring protected by capping matching the color of the exterior walls.
-
Condensate drainage by gravity , guaranteeing reliability without additional maintenance.
Performance and benefits of the Fujitsu heat pump
The selected model (12,000 BTU) is renowned for its cold performance , capable of operating efficiently down to −26°C . Among its notable advantages:
-
High energy efficiency , Energy Star certified.
-
Stable and reliable heating function in winter .
-
High-performance air conditioning mode in summer , with integrated dehumidification.
-
Quiet operation , a crucial point for an installation in an open space.
Grants and financial support
This project benefits from financial assistance programs available in Quebec (LogisVert, Hydro-Québec), significantly reducing the acquisition and installation costs. The AirGreen team supports each client to maximize access to these subsidies.
Results and customer satisfaction
After commissioning, the owners noticed even heat distribution throughout the home's landings. The unit blends discreetly into the space, and its energy efficiency will significantly reduce electricity costs throughout the seasons.
