In this bright apartment in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, the owners wanted to improve their year-round comfort while reducing their electricity bill. They turned to us for the installation of a Gree wall-mounted heat pump , an ideal solution for typical apartments and houses in downtown Montreal.
An all-in-one comfort project
The room in question was a bedroom that tended to overheat in the summer and cool down quickly in the winter. The basic electric heating did the job… but at the cost of high energy consumption and inconsistent comfort.
Our recommendation: a Gree Lomo+ R32 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump (a very common configuration for Gree in this type of space). This system allows for both:
-
to provide effective air conditioning during heat waves;
-
to heat in a stable and economical way during the Montreal winter;
-
to offer an excellent level of silence for a bedroom.
A compact and discreet wall unit
In the photo, you can see the Gree indoor unit installed high up, just below the ceiling, in the center of the wall. This positioning is not accidental:
-
It allows for uniform air distribution throughout the room;
-
It avoids direct airflow onto the occupants;
-
It frees up space for furniture and decoration.
The unit blends seamlessly into the white wall: clean lines, a uniform facade, and a discreetly integrated shutter. All power cables and refrigerant lines are concealed: no visible conduits on the interior, resulting in a clean and minimalist look , highly valued in modern condos and apartments in Rosemont.
On the right side, the unit is securely fixed to its mounting plate, which is anchored to the structure. This method ensures a durable hold and limits vibrations, contributing to the quiet operation of the heat pump.
The heart of the system: the Gree Lomo+ R32 heat pump
Gree is now one of the world's largest manufacturers of heat pumps. The Lomo+ R32 series is particularly popular for residential use in Quebec because it combines:
-
High energy efficiency (reduced consumption compared to electric baseboard heaters);
-
Use of R-32 refrigerant , which is more efficient and has a reduced environmental impact;
-
Reliable heating capacity in cold weather, well suited to the Montreal climate;
-
Very low noise level, both inside and outside.
In this project, the power output of approximately 12,000 BTU is ideal for a bedroom or a small open-plan living room. It allows for a rapid response to temperature increases while maintaining very reasonable energy consumption.
Technical details of the installation
Even though we only see the internal unity here, several important elements have been taken into account:
-
Drilling through the wall behind the wall head, towards the outside, to pass the refrigeration lines, the condensation drain and the electrical communication cable;
-
Drain management : adequate slope outwards to avoid any risk of water backing up into the unit;
-
Installation of the Gree outdoor compressor on a stable support (floor or wall), with vibration dampers;
-
Respect the clearances recommended by the manufacturer, both inside and outside, to optimize air circulation and performance.
Before commissioning, we always perform the following:
-
Vacuuming the refrigeration circuit;
-
Checking the electrical connections;
-
Functional tests in heating and air conditioning mode;
-
Explaining to the customer how to use the device (remote control, ECO modes, defrosting, programming, etc.).
Comfort in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, summer and winter
Thanks to this Gree wall-mounted heat pump, homeowners now benefit from:
-
Rapid cooling during heat waves;
-
Stable and comfortable heating in winter, with lower electricity consumption;
-
Very low noise level , essential in a bedroom;
-
Cleaner air, thanks to the integrated, easy-to-clean filters .
The heat pump operates in "heat pump" mode: it extracts heat from the outside air, even in cold weather, and transfers it inside. As a result, for every kilowatt consumed, it can provide several kilowatts of heat, representing a substantial saving compared to electric baseboard heaters.
An investment that increases the value of the property
In a desirable neighborhood like Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, adding a Gree wall-mounted heat pump is an asset for:
-
To improve the daily comfort of occupants;
-
Reduce the energy bill;
-
Enhancing the property's value in the eyes of future buyers or tenants, who are increasingly looking for this type of equipment.
The neat aesthetics of the interior unit, perfectly integrated into the wall, contribute to giving an impression of recent renovation and well-maintained housing.
