An HVAC comfort solution adapted to Montreal’s urban realities
In older apartments in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , space is often limited, and the room layout poses unique challenges for HVAC installation . At AirGreen , we are regularly called upon to modernize these homes while respecting their architectural charm. Recently, we installed a Goodman wall-mounted heat pump in an apartment located above a typical duplex in the area, with high ceilings and narrow passageways.
The particularities of the project
The client chose a Goodman wall-mounted heat pump , renowned for its reliability and energy efficiency. While this brand is more widely used in the central systems sector, its wall-mounted version represents a high-performance and affordable solution for urban housing.
Constraints identified
-
Limited height above an interior door : The wall-mounted head was installed in a narrow hallway, which required precise positioning to ensure good air circulation.
-
Ductwork : The technical space was limited, forcing our technicians to carefully conceal the piping in a section of partition and use a discreet white cover to harmonize everything.
-
Existing structure : the old load-bearing walls had increased density, requiring suitable tools to drill and securely anchor the unit.
Technical details of the installation
-
Machine type : wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split).
-
Brand : Goodman.
-
Capacity : 12,000 BTU configuration suitable for an apartment size of 600 to 800 sq. ft.
-
Performance : Energy Star certification, guaranteeing reduced consumption in heating and air conditioning.
-
Condensate drainage : gravity, thanks to a controlled slope which avoids the need for a lifting pump.
-
Electricity : connection to a dedicated 15A circuit breaker, with wiring discreetly routed to the electrical panel.
Benefits for the customer
Thanks to this Goodman wall-mounted heat pump installation , the customer now benefits from:
-
four-season comfort , with efficient air conditioning in summer and economical auxiliary heating in winter,

Possible grants and savings
Goodman wall-mounted models in this category are eligible for LogisVert grants and provincial programs , subject to low-temperature performance criteria. In this case, we assisted the client in preparing their application, allowing them to reduce the net cost of installation.
