An installation adapted to the constraints of an urban condo
At AirGreen , we know that installing a wall-mounted heat pump in a downtown Montreal condo requires special expertise. In this project located in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , our team was asked to equip a bright apartment, but one that was constrained by narrow wall passages and limited ceiling heights. The goal: to provide four-season comfort while respecting the building's aesthetic and structural constraints.
Installation context
The client wanted to replace an old portable air conditioner with a sustainable, energy-efficient solution that was compatible with current Quebec grant programs. They chose a Gree wall-mounted heat pump , known for its stable performance down to -25°C, its high efficiency (SEER greater than 20 and HSPF around 10) , and its quiet operation, perfectly suited to a dense urban environment.
Technical details of the project
-
Location : Condo in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Montreal
-
Equipment : Gree wall-mounted heat pump (energy-efficient residential range)
-
Capacity : 12,000 BTU, suitable for effectively covering the bedroom and adjoining area

Challenges encountered and solutions provided
-
Space constraints : Positioning above the door frame required pinpoint precision. Our installers used suitable anchors to ensure strength without damaging the partition.

Ductwork : The short distance between the interior head and the exterior wall has made it possible to minimize the length of the pipes, thus reducing pressure losses and optimizing efficiency.
-
Aesthetics and comfort : The installation has been designed to remain visually discreet while ensuring optimal air circulation.
