The full story

The article, chapter by chapter

In Pointe-Claire , many West Island homes and condos share a common reality: comfortable rooms that sometimes have uneven temperatures, upstairs bedrooms that overheat in the summer, and a need for absolute silence at night. This is precisely the context of this installation by AirGreen , where we installed a Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump to ensure consistent comfort, both summer and winter, with particular attention paid to its placement in a bedroom .

The photo clearly shows a Fujitsu AIRSTAGE indoor unit , installed high up, just below the ceiling, above a bed. This detail makes all the difference: in a bedroom, performance is important, but perceived comfort (airflow, noise, diffusion) is even more so.


The installed system: Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump (AIRSTAGE), consistent model

The brand supplied is Fujitsu — so it's our benchmark. The indoor unit bears the AIRSTAGE designation, which places it in a range known for its precise temperature control and reliability.

The exact number is not legible in the image. We therefore select a model consistent with this type of residential wall unit and our current installations: Fujitsu Altair 300 (KNAS – R-32) , a very logical option for Greater Montreal when you want an efficient, discreet unit, well suited to the needs of a house or condo in the West Island.

Machine type: Wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split / wall unit)
Brand: Fujitsu
(Consistent) Model: Fujitsu Altair 300 (KNAS – R-32) / AIRSTAGE series


Why a wall-mounted heat pump in a bedroom in Pointe-Claire?

Bedrooms are often the most “sensitive” rooms:

  • People are looking for cooler temperatures at night in the summer.

  • We want to avoid variations (too hot / too cold).

  • and quiet operation is required.

A wall-mounted heat pump is ideal in this context because it allows:

  • efficient air conditioning during heat waves,

  • a comfortable supplementary heater for mid-season (and often longer),

  • stable regulation thanks to the inverter,

  • and a clean solution, without major pipework.

In Pointe-Claire, where there are many family residences and upstairs rooms, this type of device quickly becomes a “game changer” for sleep and daily comfort.


Prominent installation details visible in the photo

This image reveals several important elements, typical of a well-thought-out installation:

1) Unit placed very high, under the ceiling

This is the most effective position for a wall-mounted unit: the air mixes better, and the room stabilizes more quickly.

2) Installation above the bed: a choice that requires precise adjustments

Installing a unit above a bed is possible , but only if it's done correctly:

  • the orientation of the flap and fins,

  • the ventilation speed,

  • and comfort modes (especially at night).

Our goal is simple: no direct drafts on the sleepers , while maintaining excellent efficiency.

3) Aesthetic integration

The enclosure is visually "clean," well-aligned, with a finish that complements the decor (ceiling moldings, light-colored wall, bedroom ambiance). In residential settings, aesthetics are an integral part of the work: a wall-mounted unit is visible, so it must blend in.


The AirGreen method: an installation designed for real comfort (not just “placed on the wall”)

A wall-mounted heat pump can be a dream… or a source of irritation, if it's poorly positioned or improperly adjusted. In a bedroom, we apply a very strict approach.

Location analysis: air circulation and rest areas

Before installation, we assess:

  • where the air will circulate (and where it must not hit),

  • the impact on the bed, pillows, and sleeping area,

  • structural constraints (uprights, wall type, clearances),

  • the “cleanest” path for the piping and drain.

Secure fixing and perfect leveling

Leveling a wall unit is not a simple task:

  • An inadequate slope can disrupt the drainage of condensate.

  • which can lead to droplets, moisture, or even odors.

We install the unit with a robust fixing and an impeccable level, for lasting stability.

Condensate drainage: the invisible solution that prevents 90% of problems

In air conditioning mode, condensation is normal. What should never be "normal" is a poorly managed drain.

Our standards:

  • continuous slope,

  • no section that retains water,

  • logical and secure path,

  • prevention of backflow and odors.

Refrigeration connections: performance + finish

A well-executed connection is:

  • continuous insulation (to prevent condensation and heat loss),

  • clean curves (without crushing),

  • rigorous sealing,

  • and an aesthetic integration (ideally discreet).


Commissioning: specific “room” settings

This is where many installations stand out. A Fujitsu AIRSTAGE wall-mounted heat pump offers fine modulation: it must be used correctly.

Specifically, we are adjusting:

  • the direction of the airflow to avoid direct air onto the bed,

  • an appropriate fan speed (often lower at night),

  • using Sleep / Quiet / Economy modes as needed,

  • the realistic temperature setting (to avoid the “too cold then too hot” effect).

Our goal: a comfortable room, without a feeling of “wind”, and a device that works intelligently rather than in jerks.


Winter comfort in Quebec: yes, a wall-mounted heater can also provide efficient heating

Although this project very often focuses on air conditioning a room, a Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump is also an excellent asset for heating, especially:

  • mid-season (autumn, spring),

  • on cold evenings,

  • or to alleviate overly slow central heating in certain areas.

And when the system is chosen correctly (range adapted to the climate), stable comfort is obtained without relying solely on electric baseboard heaters.


Maintenance: simple, but essential to maintain performance

In a bedroom, air quality and the cleanliness of the unit matter enormously.

We recommend:

  • Regular cleaning of the filters (this is the number 1 step),

  • Professional periodic inspection and cleaning : heat exchanger, turbine, drainage.

A clean device:

  • Breathe better.

  • consumes less

  • remains quieter

  • and maintains healthier air.


Common mistakes (and how AirGreen avoids them)

Here's what we see far too often on "quick" installations:

  • Blowing directly onto the bed → discomfort, dry throat, nighttime awakenings

  • Poorly designed drainage → stagnant water, odors, risk of leaks

  • uneven unit → condensate problems

  • Incomplete pipe insulation → condensation in the wall / near the outlet

  • Incorrect settings → unnecessary cycles, noise, reduced performance

At AirGreen, we install, but above all we optimize : the goal is for the customer to forget about it… because it works perfectly.


Why choose AirGreen in Pointe-Claire and the West Island?

Because here, residential comfort is not “standard”. The houses and condos of the West Island have their own particularities (floors, sunny rooms, warmer bedrooms, requirements for silence).

With AirGreen you get:

  • a clean and sustainable installation

  • an aesthetically pleasing finish,

  • settings adapted to your specific needs (bedroom, living room, open area),

  • a professional, accessible, and results-oriented service.

Your numbers

The job tools

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.

    The steps

    How the job unfolds

    The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.

    Step 1 of 9The on-site estimate

    We look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.

    The tour

    What we check on a job like this one

    Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.

    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.

    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.
