In Laval-des-Rapides, a couple living in a condo wanted to finally say goodbye to sweltering summers and expensive electric heating in winters. Their goal: a compact, quiet, and energy-efficient system capable of providing consistent comfort year-round without cluttering their living space. They chose to have a Gree wall-mounted heat pump installed by our team.
Context: a condo with textured ceilings and exposed walls
The indoor unit shown in the photo is installed in a typical main room of a condo in Laval-des-Rapides:
-
Relatively low textured ceiling;
-
light and uncluttered walls;
-
There are few partitions, which allows air to circulate towards the living room and dining area;
-
Optimized space, where every centimeter counts.
The owners wanted a visually discreet solution that would not break the simplicity of the decor, while still providing sufficient coverage for the entire main living area.
Choosing the Gree wall-mounted heat pump
We recommended a Gree Inverter 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump, new generation R-32 . This type of unit is perfectly suited to a medium-sized condo like this one.
Advantages of the Gree system for this project
-
Inverter technology : the power adjusts continuously according to the actual demand, which offers much more stable comfort than a simple on/off air conditioner.
-
R-32 refrigerant : more efficient and more environmentally friendly than older refrigerants, with better energy efficiency.
-
Quiet operation : ideal for an open space where you work, watch television or entertain friends.
-
Compact size : the indoor unit fits easily under the ceiling without weighing down the room.
Interior installation details
The photo shows the Gree wall head installed very close to the ceiling, with a discreet temperature display on the right side.
Strategic positioning below the ceiling
We chose a high location , with a clearance respected in relation to the textured ceiling:
-
This allows the air conditioning to travel along the ceiling before descending, ensuring good distribution throughout the room;
-
the wall-mounted head remains outside the traffic area, without risk of impact or visual obstruction;
-
The unit blends with the color of the wall, giving an impression of continuity.
Finishes and conduits
At the top, a black conduit carries the electrical power and connections to the outside. The rest of the refrigerant lines and drain have been completely concealed behind the wall , providing:
-
a clean and minimalist finish;
-
increased protection against shocks and temperature variations;
-
Maintenance is simplified, since key technical access points remain grouped close to the unit.
The technical labels under the front panel allow for quick identification of the model, refrigerants, and safety instructions during maintenance or diagnostics.
Outdoor unit and building integration
Even though the photo focuses on the indoor unit, the project would not be complete without a flawless outdoor installation:
-
The Gree condenser was installed on a rigid support, either on the floor on slabs or on wall brackets depending on the configuration of the balcony/terrace;
-
The clearances recommended by Gree were respected to ensure good air circulation;
-
An external circuit breaker allows the device to be secured during maintenance.
All the conduits connecting the interior and exterior are carefully protected by a cover, in order to preserve the aesthetics of the condo's facade while protecting the lines from the sun, snow and ice.
Result: four-season comfort in the condo
Since it was put into service, the owners of this condo in Laval-des-Rapides have enjoyed significantly improved comfort:
-
In summer : the temperature remains pleasant even during heat waves, with effective dehumidification that eliminates the feeling of heavy air.
-
In autumn and spring : the heat pump takes care of most of the heating, reducing reliance on electric baseboard heaters.
-
In winter : Gree's Inverter technology maintains a stable heating capacity even in very cold weather, resulting in gentle and even heat.
Thanks to automatic power modulation, the heat pump avoids large temperature fluctuations and noisy start-ups. Homeowners particularly appreciate the night mode , which keeps the room comfortable while reducing noise levels.
Energy savings and temperature control
Installing this Gree wall-mounted heat pump in a condo is an excellent way to save money:
-
significant reduction in heating costs on Hydro-Québec bills;
-
optimized use thanks to the different modes (auto, eco, dehumidification, heating, cooling);
-
Programmable settings to adapt the temperature to working hours and attendance.
The supplied remote control allows you to easily adjust the temperature displayed on the unit (visible on the front in the photo), and to adjust the flaps to direct the airflow as needed.
