A discreet and perfectly integrated HVAC system in a bright living space
In Southwest Montreal, we recently completed a complete HVAC installation of a FUJITSU ORION XLTH 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in a modern open-concept condo. This type of environment, with its relatively high ceilings and large windows, requires a solution that is both powerful, quiet, and aesthetically discreet.
Upon our arrival on site, we observed a common challenge in this type of property: maintaining a stable temperature in a room exposed to natural light, while avoiding thermal fluctuations caused by external variations.
The image above perfectly illustrates the final result: a wall-mounted unit elegantly positioned high above the windows, allowing for optimal air diffusion without compromising the interior layout.
Why the FUJITSU ORION XLTH 12,000 BTU was the ideal choice
Performance adapted to Greater Montreal's winters
In an area like Southwest Montreal, where winter temperatures can drop rapidly, it was imperative to choose a heat pump capable of efficiently heating down to -26°C.
The FUJITSU ORION XLTH KZAH is distinguished by:
- Stable heating capacity even in extreme conditions
- Advanced Inverter technology allowing precise modulation
- Real power suitable for typical residential spaces (condos, apartments, duplexes)
In this specific project, the area to be covered and the open configuration made the 12,000 BTU perfectly sized.
Remarkable energy performance
This installation allows the client to benefit from a highly efficient system:
- SEER2: 30.5 (excellent cooling efficiency)
- HSPF2: 12.7 (superior heating performance)
- ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate certification
- R-32 refrigerant, more environmentally friendly and efficient
These characteristics translate concretely into:
- A significant reduction in energy bills
- Consistent comfort, summer and winter
- A sustainable solution aligned with current environmental standards
LogisVert subsidy: a significant financial advantage
As part of this project, the heat pump is eligible for the LogisVert subsidy of $1,200, which represents a significant leverage for the client.
At AirGreen, we always support our clients in:
- Eligibility validation
- Document preparation
- File submission
This support significantly simplifies the process and maximizes savings.
Technical challenges encountered during installation
Strategic positioning of the indoor unit
One of the key elements of this installation was the precise positioning of the wall-mounted unit.
In this room, two windows occupied a large part of the wall. We therefore chose:
- An installation centered above the openings
- Optimal height for uniform air diffusion
- An angle allowing coverage of the entire living area
This technical choice guarantees:
- Better air circulation
- Elimination of cold or hot spots
- Uniform comfort throughout the room
Aesthetic management of ducts and piping
Another important challenge concerned visual integration. In a modern condo, aesthetics are as important as performance.
We therefore:
- Used discreet pipe covers matching the wall
- Minimized the visual impact of connections
- Optimized the route of refrigerant lines
Result: a clean, professional, and practically invisible installation.
Outdoor unit installation
As always in Greater Montreal, the outdoor unit installation was designed to withstand climatic conditions:
- Elevated position to prevent snow accumulation
- Orientation adapted to prevailing winds
- Easy access for future maintenance
The ORION XLTH series, equipped with a heated base, is particularly reliable in winter.
A smooth and transparent customer experience
At AirGreen, every project is structured to offer a simple and reassuring experience:
Before installation
- Complete thermal evaluation
- Capacity choice validation
- Clear presentation of price and options
During installation
- Clean and fast work
- Respect for the premises
- Constant communication with the client
After installation
- Complete commissioning
- Detailed explanation of operation
- Support for Wi-Fi and programming
In this specific case, the client particularly appreciated:
- The extremely low noise level of the unit
- The speed of cooling
- Temperature stability
Practical advice for this type of installation
What we recommend
To maximize the performance of a wall-mounted heat pump in Montreal or on the South Shore / North Shore:
- Clean filters regularly
- Maintain clearance around the unit
- Avoid constantly changing the temperature
- Schedule timings via Wi-Fi
Common mistakes to avoid
We often observe:
- Incorrect positioning of the indoor unit
- Incorrect sizing (too small or too powerful)
- Poorly protected outdoor installation
These errors can significantly reduce the performance and lifespan of the system.
