A careful adaptation for a limited outdoor space
At AirGreen , we know that a wall-mounted heat pump installation project is never a simple mechanical operation: it is about integrating cutting-edge technology into a real living environment, with all its physical and aesthetic constraints. This is exactly what we achieved for a client located in Verdun , on one of those typical wooden balconies where every square centimeter counts.
The Gree outdoor unit was installed on a solid concrete base resting on support blocks to ensure stability and durability. With limited space, our team carefully selected the location, taking into account ventilation, noise, and traffic flow around the balcony.
The technical challenges of this installation
Reduced space management
The balcony presented several constraints: garden furniture, storage units and a metal structure already occupied the space. To avoid clutter and preserve circulation, we positioned the condenser near the rear wall , thus optimizing accessibility while respecting the clearances necessary for the proper functioning of the machine.
Power supply nearby
The advantage of this project was the presence of an electrical box installed directly on the adjacent wall. Our technicians were able to connect the heat pump to it in a compliant manner, minimizing wiring lengths and reducing intervention time.
Condensates and drainage
On a balcony, managing condensation water is often a challenge. Here, the configuration allowed for gravity drainage , thus avoiding the addition of a lifting pump which would have generated additional noise and future maintenance costs.
Why choose a Gree heat pump?
Energy performance
The Gree range is renowned for its efficiency in cold climates. The model chosen by our client offers a capacity of 12,000 BTUs , perfectly suited to a medium-sized condo in Verdun. Energy Star certified, it allows you to benefit from subsidies in effect in Quebec, particularly within the framework of energy efficiency programs applicable in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the South Shore and the North Shore .
Four-season comfort
This wall-mounted heat pump provides optimal comfort in both summer and winter. It is designed to maintain stable performance down to -25°C , which is crucial for Greater Montreal's harsh winters.
Reliability and durability
The client was looking for a low-maintenance solution. Thanks to Gree's inverter technology, mechanical wear is reduced, and energy consumption is precisely adjusted to meet needs.
The AirGreen approach to this project
Careful preparation
Before any intervention, our team carried out a complete analysis of the premises : taking measurements of the balcony, checking clearances, studying the refrigeration path and assessing electrical constraints. This step is crucial for anticipating unforeseen events.
A clean and secure installation
-
Fixing the outdoor unit to a concrete slab with anti-vibration wedges.
-
Refrigeration connections insulated and carefully capped to protect against the elements.
-
Checking refrigerant pressures and levels.
-
Commissioning and full performance testing before handover to the customer.
Respect for aesthetics
As the balcony is also a relaxation area, we took care to minimize the visual impact of the installation: well-aligned conduits, discreet capping, no unnecessary visible cables.
Result: guaranteed comfort, a satisfied customer
At the end of the project, the client could immediately see the difference: fresher and more stable indoor air, a quiet machine outside, and a harmonious integration that did not compromise the use of his balcony.
This Gree wall-mounted heat pump installation in Verdun perfectly illustrates AirGreen's philosophy: to provide adapted, efficient and sustainable HVAC solutions, while taking into account the realities of each house, condo or plex in Greater Montreal.
