Installation of a Gree wall-mounted heat pump in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie
For this home in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, we installed a Gree wall-mounted heat pump above the bedroom door to optimize air circulation and year-round comfort. With its sleek finish, quiet operation, and efficient heating in winter, this compact solution completely transforms the occupants' quality of life.

Take a tour of the installation
Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.
In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.

Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.
The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.
Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.
The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.
On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.
The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.
In this residential project in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, we were called in to solve a very common problem: an upstairs bedroom that was always too hot in the summer and difficult to heat evenly in the winter. The ideal solution in this type of situation? A Gree wall-mounted heat pump dedicated to the room—discreet, quiet, and extremely efficient in all seasons.
Tailor-made comfort for an upstairs bedroom
The room to be air-conditioned is a closed bedroom, accessible via a narrow corridor. In summer, fresh air from the ground floor did not reach this area properly; in winter, the temperature varied from one end of the floor to the other.
We therefore recommended the installation of a Gree wall-mounted heat pump of approximately 9,000 BTU , perfectly sized for an average-sized bedroom. This type of unit offers:
-
Excellent temperature control, degree by degree;
-
Very quiet operation, essential for a bedroom;
-
An efficient heating mode that reduces reliance on electric baseboard heaters;
-
Optimized power consumption thanks to frequency inversion technology.
Strategic positioning of the Gree wall-mounted head
The central element visible in the photo is the Gree wall-mounted interior head unit , installed just above the door frame leading to the bedroom. This positioning is not accidental:
-
It allows the treated air to diffuse both into the room and towards the corridor when the door is open;
-
It makes maximum use of the available ceiling height, which improves air circulation and avoids direct drafts on the bed;
-
It frees up the main walls of the room for furniture and decoration.
The finish around the door was meticulously executed, and the unit blends seamlessly with the existing woodwork. Visually, the heat pump remains discreet, while being ideally positioned to provide optimal comfort.
Careful management of refrigeration connections and drainage
On the right side of the unit, a white cover conceals the refrigerant lines, the communication cable, and the condensate drain. This finish choice allows for:
-
To maintain a clean and minimalist look inside;
-
To protect the ducts from shocks and dust;
-
To guide the lines directly towards the outside wall, without unnecessarily crossing the room.
The condensate drain is installed with an adequate slope to ensure the evacuation of water produced in air conditioning mode, thus avoiding any risk of leakage or damp smell in the room.
The Gree outdoor unit is discreet and well-positioned.
Outside (not visible in the photo), the Gree compressor is installed in such a way as to:
-
Minimize the transmission of vibrations to the structure of the house;
-
Facilitate seasonal maintenance (cleaning, inspection);
-
Protect the device from the accumulation of snow and ice typical of Montreal winters.
The whole system is connected to a dedicated electrical circuit, compliant with current standards, with an appropriate circuit breaker and an external circuit breaker for service interventions.
Four-season performance in the Montreal climate
A properly sized and installed Gree wall-mounted heat pump is a valuable asset in a neighbourhood like Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, where buildings often combine multiple floors, closed rooms and significant heat gains in the summer.
For this family, the benefits are immediate:
-
Summer : a cool room, even during heat waves, with a low noise level allowing for peaceful sleep;
-
Autumn and spring : gentle, rapid heating without having to start up the entire house system;
-
Winter : an efficient supplemental heating system that reduces electricity bills compared to baseboard heaters, while maintaining a stable temperature during cold nights.
The remote control and programmable modes allow you to adjust the temperature for the night, start a preheating before bedtime or reduce the setting during hours of absence.
Air quality and everyday comfort
Beyond temperature control, this Gree installation also improves the overall comfort of the room:
-
Integrated filtration that traps dust and fine particles;
-
Improved air circulation, which reduces stagnant areas and the feeling of "heavy" air;
-
Precise control of relative humidity in air conditioning mode, for a healthier environment.
Thanks to the high positioning and orientation of the shutters, the air is blown towards the center of the room and then gently descends, eliminating the sensation of a direct draft on the occupants.

The big day, step by step
The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.
We look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
Model, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
Floors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
A single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
Set on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
Connected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
A dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
Leak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
Remote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.

What would it look like at your place?
Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.
Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.

Your own project, step by step
What to do, season by season
Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.
- Clean the indoor unit's filters.
- Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
- Test cooling before the first hot days.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
Is your home ready?
Check what applies at your place. A "no" is not a refusal: it is what we sort out during the estimate.
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.
During defrost cycles. That water must drain away without forming ice.
2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.
Windows, insulation, orientation and how the room is used all count. Capacity is chosen on site.
3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.
One head per room, all on the same condenser. Each room keeps its own temperature.
4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.
It must stay accessible: it is what shuts the unit off for service.
