A residential project combining energy efficiency and aesthetics
At AirGreen , we understand that every wall-mounted heat pump installation must meet both technical requirements and the aesthetic expectations of the homeowners. In this project in Sainte-Dorothée, Laval , we installed a Gree outdoor unit on a raised support to ensure optimal performance and discreet integration along the wall of the house.
Client context and needs
The client, a single-family home owner, was looking for a heating and cooling solution adapted to Laval's hot summers and harsh winters. Their goal was twofold: to improve their comfort while reducing their energy consumption. The wall-mounted heat pump represented the best compromise, offering both high efficiency and faster installation than a central system.
Technical details of the installation
-
Machine type : Wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split)
-
Brand : Gree
-
Outdoor installation : unit mounted on a galvanized steel support to raise it off the ground and prevent the accumulation of snow and moisture.
-
Refrigeration connections : sheathed and fixed with a gray capping matching the house cladding for a discreet aesthetic finish.
-
Condensate drainage : gravity system, optimized to prevent any water returning to the unit.
-
Power supply : secure connection via an external box and dedicated circuit breaker, in accordance with the standards of the Quebec Electrical Code.
Constraints and solutions provided
-
Limited space between the house and the fence
The narrow side strip made it impossible to place the unit on the floor. We therefore opted for a raised wall mount , guaranteeing both sufficient airflow and optimal clearance for maintenance. -
Protection against moisture and snow
The north-facing location required an installation at sufficient height to avoid snow accumulation. The chosen solution ensures reliable operation even during periods of intense cold.
