A Seamless HVAC Installation with AirGreen
When our team at AirGreen received the request for an HVAC installation in a charming home located in Terrebonne, we knew that the Gree Charmo 19 mini split would be a perfect fit for the customer's needs. This model offers both power and efficiency, designed specifically to handle the extreme temperature swings of Quebec's weather.
Why We Chose the Gree Charmo 19 for This Installation
This installation required a solution that could provide optimal cooling during the hot summer months and dependable heating during those bone-chilling winter nights. The Gree Charmo 19 mini split, with its 9,000 BTU capacity, fit the bill perfectly. With its robust performance, the machine is capable of handling the varied weather patterns of Quebec while ensuring comfort for the homeowners all year long.
Key Features of the Gree Charmo 19
The Gree Charmo 19 is packed with advanced features that make it one of the best choices for HVAC systems in Quebec. Here are some of its standout capabilities:
- Efficient Cooling and Heating: This mini split is capable of cooling spaces with a capacity of 9,000 BTUs and heating even when temperatures dip as low as -25°C.
- Quiet Operation: With a noise level as low as 36 dB(A) indoors, this unit is whisper-quiet, ensuring that the customer’s comfort is never disturbed by loud operational sounds.
- Smart Features: The integrated WiFi allows homeowners to control their indoor climate from anywhere using their smartphones, making it easier to adjust the settings even when they are away from home.
- Eco-Friendly Refrigerant: The use of R-410A refrigerant ensures that the unit operates efficiently while being environmentally responsible.
The Challenge: Ensuring Proper Installation in a Tight Space
The installation process in Terrebonne posed an interesting challenge: the home had limited space for the outdoor unit, and the placement of the indoor unit needed to be aesthetically pleasing while maximizing airflow. Our experienced technicians at AirGreen meticulously planned the layout to ensure that the indoor unit was positioned above the window for optimal air distribution, while the outdoor unit was discreetly installed to preserve the look of the home.
Precision in Every Step
We take pride in our detailed installation process, ensuring that every step is executed with precision. For this installation, we used 1/4 – 3/8 piping for refrigerant flow and ensured that all connections were properly sealed to avoid any leaks. The compact size of the Gree Charmo 19 allowed us to fit it snugly into the available space, without sacrificing performance or aesthetics.
Grants and Energy Efficiency
This Gree Charmo 19 mini split qualifies for a $300 LogisVert grant from Hydro-Québec, making it not only a powerful choice for comfort but also a cost-effective one. Although this model does not meet the criteria for federal grants, the provincial incentive helps offset the initial investment, making it a great choice for homeowners looking to upgrade their heating and cooling systems.
Impressive Energy Efficiency
With a 19.5 SEER rating, this mini split is highly efficient, ensuring that the homeowner will enjoy lower energy bills while still receiving consistent comfort. The efficiency of this unit is further supported by its variable-speed inverter technology, which allows the compressor to adjust its speed based on the current needs of the home, reducing unnecessary energy use.
Customer Satisfaction: The Final Word
At the end of the day, the comfort and satisfaction of our clients are what matter most. After the installation, we ran thorough tests to ensure that the Gree Charmo 19 mini split was operating at peak efficiency, cooling the room effectively while also being able to handle heating during the colder months. The homeowner expressed delight in the ultra-quiet operation and sleek design of the unit, which blended seamlessly with their home’s interior.
Professional Installation Matters
We cannot stress enough the importance of professional installation for HVAC systems. Our team at AirGreen follows the highest standards of installation to ensure that every unit we install delivers maximum performance and longevity. The correct placement of the indoor and outdoor units, as well as secure piping and refrigerant lines, play a critical role in how well the system will perform over time.

The job tools
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.

Connected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.

What we check on a job like this one
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.
Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.
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.
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.
Good habits, once the unit is in place
Six simple habits that keep the unit going. Your list stays on this device.
What to do, season by season
Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.

- 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.

The right pages, at the right time
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.
