In this project, our team visited a home in the Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce borough of Montreal. The homeowners wanted to modernize the comfort of their main living room, a warm space with wood moldings on the ceiling, but difficult to keep cool in the summer and warm in the winter. The solution: a new-generation Gree wall-mounted heat pump , carefully installed to complement the existing décor while maximizing performance.
A need for stable comfort in the main room
Before our intervention, the salon suffered from several classic problems:
-
Uneven temperature between the TV area, the corridor and the open dining room;
-
A feeling of heaviness and heat during heat waves;
-
Heating based on electric baseboards, expensive and unresponsive.
The occupants wanted a system:
-
Capable of providing both air conditioning and heating ;
-
Silent , so as not to disturb movie nights or teleworking;
-
Adapted to Montreal's climate , with cold winters and rapid temperature variations.
The Gree wall-mounted heat pump has emerged as the best option to meet all these criteria.
A discreet and efficient Gree wall-mounted heat pump
The installed unit is a high-efficiency Gree wall-mounted unit , part of the brand's Inverter heat pump range. This type of system:
-
It automatically modulates its power to maintain the desired temperature;
-
Consumes much less energy than purely electric heating;
-
Offers excellent air conditioning quality with well-distributed airflow.
The integrated digital display on the right of the unit, which can be seen in the photo (set here to 16°C in air conditioning mode), allows you to check the set temperature at a glance without having to look at the remote control.
Integration into a living room with wooden moldings
One of the challenges of this project in Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce was to respect the character of the dwelling : light walls, decorative wood molding near the ceiling and carefully chosen furniture.
So we have:
-
Position the Gree wall head just below the molding , making sure to keep sufficient clearance for air intake from above;
-
Center the unit on the dominant wall section of the room for uniform air diffusion ;
-
Checked that the air jet does not blow directly onto the TV area or the sofa, in order to guarantee optimal comfort.
The result: a simple and minimalist installation that blends into the surroundings. The Gree's all-white facade harmonizes with the walls, while the wooden molding retains its aesthetic appeal.
Technical details and best installation practices
Behind this apparent simplicity, several technical aspects have been carefully addressed:
-
Optimized installation height : the heat pump is installed close to the ceiling, allowing the conditioned air to descend naturally into the room and the heating to be distributed more efficiently.
-
Adjustable airflow : motorized louvers direct air towards the living area, with positions memorized via remote control.
-
Discreet routing of connections : refrigeration pipes, condensation drain and wiring are passed through the wall to the Gree outdoor unit, installed outside on a raised support, all protected by suitable covers.
-
Reduced noise level : thanks to Inverter technology and judicious placement, operation remains virtually inaudible at low speed, ideal for quiet evenings or video calls.
Four-season comfort in NDG
With this Gree wall-mounted heat pump, homeowners now enjoy four-season comfort :
-
In summer, the unit easily maintains a pleasant temperature in the living room and adjacent rooms, even during intense heat in the heart of Montreal.
-
In the fall and spring, the Gree's heating mode allows you to limit the use of electric baseboard heaters, which considerably reduces the Hydro-Québec bill.
-
In winter, the heat pump continues to provide a very effective supplementary heat , particularly appreciated during periods of extreme cold when constant comfort is sought without overheating.
Occupants also notice improved air quality , thanks to the integrated filtration of the wall-mounted heat pump, which captures dust and certain suspended particles.
An investment that increases the property value
In a neighbourhood like Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce , highly sought after for its charming homes, adding a Gree wall-mounted heat pump is a tangible advantage:
-
The apartment or house becomes more attractive to future buyers or tenants.
-
Thermal comfort is comparable to that of a new condo, while preserving the charm of the existing architecture.
-
The energy savings achieved over the years help to quickly recoup the investment.
