A neat and efficient installation for lasting comfort
At AirGreen , we recently completed the installation of a GREE Airy R32 wall-mounted heat pump in a residence in Laval , a typical residential area where red brick dominates the facades and where integrated garages require meticulous planning of the ductwork. This installation perfectly illustrates our expertise in residential HVAC , combining energy performance , aesthetics , and durability .
Choosing the GREE Airy R32 system: efficiency and reliability
The GREE Airy R32 wall-mounted heat pump is one of the newest models in the GREE residential range, operating with R-32 refrigerant, which is more environmentally friendly than R-410A. Designed for Quebec winters, this unit offers stable performance down to −25 °C , while ensuring excellent comfort in summer thanks to its precise and quiet air conditioning capacity.
The model installed here—with a power output of 18,000 BTUs —was chosen to efficiently cover the ground floor and basement of the house, while significantly reducing annual energy consumption compared to a standard electrical system.
An installation perfectly integrated into the facade
The outdoor condenser , securely fixed to galvanized wall brackets , is positioned above the garage, an ideal location which ensures:
-
optimal air circulation around the unit;
-
protection against snow accumulation ;
-
a visual discretion which preserves the harmony of the facade.
Our technicians carefully routed the refrigerant lines and electrical wiring through the brick wall, using white capping to match the building's cladding. This aesthetic choice ensures a clean and durable finish that meets AirGreen standards.
Wiring management and electrical safety
The installation was carried out in compliance with CSA and RBQ standards , including a dedicated external circuit breaker in the immediate vicinity of the condenser to facilitate maintenance. This type of configuration is particularly recommended in single-family residences with an integrated garage.
A discreet and efficient interior
Inside, the wall-mounted head has been installed in the main living area, ensuring even air distribution and minimal noise levels . The unit is connected to a silent condensate pump , allowing efficient water removal, even in periods of high humidity.
Technical challenges and solutions
One of the challenges of this installation was penetrating the brick wall directly above the garage lintel. Thanks to our precision tools and our team's experience, the drilling was completed without damaging the masonry. We also optimized the length of the refrigerant circuit to minimize efficiency losses and ensure maximum system performance.
A facility ready for grant programs
The GREE Airy R32 meets the efficiency criteria required by provincial and federal grant programs in effect in Quebec (notably Rénoclimat and Chauffez Vert ). Homeowners will therefore benefit not only from increased comfort, but also from an accelerated return on investment thanks to these incentives.
