Generic diagram: wall-mounted heat pump, indoor and outdoor units

In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.

Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.

  1. Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.

  2. The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.

  3. Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.

  4. A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.

  5. The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.

  6. On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.

  7. The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.

In Fabreville, you often come across single-family homes with a backyard, lawn, shed, and everything you need to enjoy the warmer weather… and survive Quebec's temperature fluctuations. In this type of environment, a wall-mounted heat pump remains one of the most effective solutions for improving comfort in both summer and winter, without undertaking major renovations.

Recently, our AirGreen team installed a Fujitsu outdoor unit (brand supplied) from the AIRSTAGE range, a particularly relevant choice for a home that wants stable air conditioning in the summer and reliable performance during the intermediate seasons — while maintaining a clean and discreet installation on the side of the house.


A typical Fabreville project: comfort, quiet, and seamless integration

In this area of ​​Laval, properties often have similar constraints:

  • limited lateral space between the house and the fence;

  • need to keep the yard clear (children, maintenance, traffic);

  • importance of limiting noise (close neighbors);

  • exposure to snow accumulation and freeze/thaw cycles.

Our mandate: to install a Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump safely, aesthetically, durably , and above all, in a manner adapted to the realities of the climate and the terrain.


Type of machine installed: wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split)

Based on the photo, this is clearly a residential mini-split system setup:

  • a compact outdoor unit (condenser) Fujitsu AIRSTAGE;

  • a refrigeration and electrical connection coming out of the house, grouped together and protected;

  • an installation designed to minimize the impact on the ground.

This type of equipment is very popular in Laval because it allows:

  • efficient air conditioning in summer (even during heat waves);

  • auxiliary or main heating depending on the model and configuration;

  • precise comfort by zone (for example: living area, bedrooms);

  • High efficiency and controlled consumption.


Model: Fujitsu AIRSTAGE R-32 (consistent choice)

The image highlights the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE range and the A2L refrigerant designation, which is consistent with recent generations using R-32 . Without a fully legible nameplate, we are left with a realistic and consistent identification.

(Residential format, ideal for a single-family home in Fabreville.)

In practice, this type of installation often corresponds to popular capacities (e.g., 12,000 to 18,000 BTU) depending on the size of the space, insulation, orientation, and the occupants' habits. At AirGreen, we always validate the selection with a thorough sizing calculation, because a heat pump that is too powerful or too weak ends up costing more and providing less comfort.


Key installation details (what we see — and what it changes)

1) Outdoor unit installed on a wall bracket

The unit is mounted on a sturdy wall bracket , rather than placed directly on the floor. In Fabreville, this is a tangible advantage:

  • reduces exposure to snow and standing water;

  • limits the risk of being blocked by ice;

  • protects the bottom of the unit during freeze/thaw cycles;

  • makes maintenance around the house easier.

2) Vibration and noise management

We observe support points designed to reduce vibrations. Proper assembly makes a real difference:

  • less resonance in the structure;

  • more discreet operation;

  • improved durability of the fixings and piping.

3) Protected refrigerant lines and clean finish

The pipes are bundled together in black protective casing (insulation + mechanical protection). This is important in Quebec:

  • protects against UV rays, humidity and shocks;

  • reduces the risk of misdirected condensation;

  • gives a visually “cleaner” finish to the side of the house.

4) Drainage and wall outlet well managed

In a wall-mounted installation, managing drainage and outlets is crucial to avoid:

  • water infiltration;

  • stains on the coating;

  • localized freezing in winter;

  • premature degradation of materials.


Why Fujitsu in a house in Laval? It's a logical choice.

Without resorting to empty marketing, there are concrete reasons why several Laval property owners (including Fabreville) are turning to Fujitsu:

  • operational stability : the machine maintains comfort better despite rapid variations;

  • good energy efficiency : useful when alternating heating/air conditioning depending on the season;

  • Controlled noise level : essential in backyards and close neighbors;

  • Manufacturing quality : appreciable for an installation exposed to the elements.


Points we always check before leaving the construction site

At AirGreen, a "beautiful" installation isn't enough: it must be efficient and reliable in the long term. After installation, we verify, among other things:

  • the location and air clearances (unit breathing);

  • the tightness of the connections and the quality of the vacuum pull;

  • the proper routing of the pipes and protection against abrasion;

  • the level of vibration and the sturdiness of the wall mount;

  • startup parameters and behavior under load;

  • understanding the customer (use, methods, maintenance, best practices).


Maintenance tips for a wall-mounted heat pump in Fabreville

To maintain high performance and avoid unpleasant surprises:

  • Regular cleaning of the indoor unit filters (simple, but crucial).

  • Keep the outdoor unit clear (leaves, branches, snow).

  • Avoid accumulating objects against the unit (air circulation).

  • Schedule periodic professional maintenance (inspection, deep cleaning, checks).

A well-maintained heat pump is generally:

  • more comfort,

  • less noise,

  • fewer breakdowns,

  • and a better-protected lifespan.


Conclusion: a clean, solid installation adapted to the terrain

This installation in Fabreville (Laval) illustrates exactly what we aim for at AirGreen: a well-integrated Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump, mounted on a wall bracket to withstand local conditions, with a neat finish and a reliability-focused approach.

If you are in Laval (Fabreville, Sainte-Dorothée, Chomedey, Vimont, Duvernay, etc.) and are looking for an efficient air conditioning/heating solution, our team can guide you to the right size and level of performance — without oversizing, without compromising on installation.

Your numbers

And at your place?

Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.

Size checkYour baseboards, in BTU/h
–BTU/h of installed electric heat

    Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.

    Through the seasons

    What to do, season by season

    Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.

    • Clean the indoor unit's filters.
    • Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.

    Frequently asked questions

    What people ask us about this kind of work

    12 questions
    Does a wall-mounted heat pump heat in winter?
    Yes, it heats and cools. Its capacity drops in very cold weather; the operating range depends on the model and is listed on its spec sheet.
    Wall-mounted or multi-zone: how do I choose?
    One wall head and one condenser outside: the direct solution for a room or an open area. For two to five rooms, a multi-zone puts one head in each room on a single condenser.
    Where does the outdoor unit go?
    Where it stays above the snow, clear and accessible, away from walkways. We decide it with you during the estimate.
    Are there grants?
    Depending on the model and your situation, assistance programs may apply, including Hydro-Québec's LogisVert. AirGreen checks the model number before quoting an amount. See the grants.
    Do I need a permit?
    Rules vary from city to city: location, distances, noise. See permits and by-laws, and we check for your address.
    How cold can it heat?
    It depends on the model. According to Hydro-Québec, newer models work down to a temperature between −15 °C and −25 °C, and some cold-climate models are certified lower. The minimum temperature is on each unit's spec sheet.
    How much can I save?
    Hydro-Québec says a heat pump can be up to three times more efficient than baseboards for heating in the colder months. The result depends on the house, the climate and how it is used.
    How is the LogisVert assistance calculated?
    For ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified heat pumps, Hydro-Québec lists assistance of $120 per 1,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at −8 °C. AirGreen checks the exact model before quoting an amount; only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted. See the grants.
    Is it noisy?
    The sound level depends on the model and is listed in decibels on each unit's spec sheet. Location matters too: when possible, we avoid putting the outdoor unit under a bedroom window.
    The outdoor unit is covered in ice: is that normal?
    Some frost is: the unit runs defrost cycles. Never hit the ice. If the unit stays iced up or stops heating, call us.
    Does AirGreen hold the required licences?
    Yes. AirGreen holds RBQ licence 5645-9605-01, subclasses 15.8 Ventilation, 15.10 Refrigeration and 16 Electricity.
    Is the estimate free?
    Yes. The on-site estimate is free and the quote follows within 24 hours. Book my free estimate.
