Installation of a Fujitsu LZAH1 Wall-Mounted Heat Pump in Outremont, Montreal

Bringing Energy Efficiency and Comfort to a Beautiful Home in Outremont

At AirGreen, we specialize in top-tier HVAC installations across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore. Recently, we completed the installation of a Fujitsu LZAH1 12,000 BTU Wall-Mounted Heat Pump in a beautiful home located in Outremont, Montreal. This project was particularly exciting for us due to the client's desire to not only improve their home's comfort but also to maximize energy efficiency while benefiting from local grants. Let’s dive into the unique aspects of this installation and why the Fujitsu LZAH1 was the perfect choice for this residence.

Why the Fujitsu LZAH1 is the Ideal Heat Pump for Montreal Winters

The Fujitsu LZAH1 model isn't just another wall-mounted heat pump—it's designed to excel in both heating and cooling, making it perfectly suited for Montreal's unpredictable climate. The unit offers exceptional heating capabilities even in extreme low temperatures, continuing to work efficiently down to -26°C. With this kind of reliability, the homeowner can rest assured that their indoor environment will remain warm and comfortable, regardless of how cold Montreal’s winters get.

Unbeatable Energy Efficiency with 29.4 SEER

One of the standout features of this Fujitsu LZAH1 12,000 BTU model is its remarkable 29.4 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio). This ensures that the homeowner benefits from lower energy consumption, leading to reduced utility bills. It’s no wonder the machine qualifies for the LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec, offering the owner a $1,200 rebate for choosing an energy-efficient solution.

Professional Installation with Expert Care

The installation took place in a classic Montreal home in Outremont, a neighborhood known for its blend of historical architecture and modern interiors. This provided a unique challenge for our team as we had to ensure the heat pump integrated seamlessly into the home’s aesthetic while maintaining its high performance.

A Backstory: Why the Customer Chose AirGreen

The homeowner initially contacted us after conducting thorough research into several HVAC companies in the area. Their primary concerns were finding a system that would not disrupt the architectural integrity of their home and a company that could ensure reliable service and ongoing support. After discussing the project with our experts, it was clear that the Fujitsu LZAH1 was the ideal match for both their technical and aesthetic needs.

Additionally, the client was eager to take advantage of Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert grant program, which incentivizes homeowners to adopt more energy-efficient solutions. With the $1,200 grant, the Fujitsu LZAH1 became even more cost-effective, and our team worked closely with the homeowner to make sure all necessary paperwork was submitted on time.

Why the Fujitsu LZAH1 is Perfect for Homes in Montreal

Superior Heating Performance at -26°C

One of the critical factors in this decision was the Fujitsu LZAH1’s ability to perform in extremely low temperatures. This is essential in cities like Montreal, where winters are harsh, and maintaining warmth is crucial. With a heating capacity that doesn’t drop even in frigid conditions, the Fujitsu LZAH1 provides consistent comfort, keeping the home cozy no matter how cold it gets outside.

Whisper-Quiet Operation

Another key selling point for the homeowner was the whisper-quiet operation of the unit. With a sound pressure level as low as 23 dB indoors and 47 dB outdoors, this unit operates almost silently. For the residents of this historic home, the idea of a quiet, unobtrusive system was particularly appealing as it ensured that their day-to-day lives wouldn't be disrupted by a noisy HVAC system.

Compact Yet Powerful Design

The Fujitsu LZAH1 also stands out for its sleek, compact design. Despite its powerful performance, the unit fits seamlessly into small spaces, making it an excellent choice for older homes like those found in Outremont. The indoor unit’s dimensions (38.44 x 9.44 x 11.06 inches) allowed us to install it in a central location without it becoming an eyesore or taking up unnecessary space.
