Optimizing comfort in a Montreal kitchen
At AirGreen , we know that a properly installed wall-mounted heat pump can transform not only the comfort of a home, but also the energy efficiency of an entire home. In this residence in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood of Montreal , our team recently installed a Gree wall-mounted heat pump designed to provide both heating and cooling in a particularly busy living space: the kitchen.
An installation adapted to a demanding space
Installing a wall unit above a kitchen window requires careful planning. In this case, several technical elements were taken into account:
-
Strategic positioning : the heat pump was fixed to the upper wall, perfectly centered to diffuse the air evenly without creating a direct draft on the sink.
-
Refrigerant pipe routing : the lines were discreetly routed to the outside, with white capping to match the walls for a clean and aesthetic finish.
-
Condensate management : a gravity drain was chosen, thus avoiding the addition of a condensate pump in a space already occupied by kitchen plumbing.
The advantages of a Gree wall-mounted heat pump
The chosen heat pump offers a capacity of 12,000 BTU , perfectly adapted to the surface area of the kitchen and adjacent rooms. This model from the Gree range is recognized for:
-
Its high energy efficiency (SEER and HSPF Energy Star certified) , guaranteeing significant savings on electricity bills.
-
Its reliable performance even during Quebec winters , with an efficient heating capacity down to -25°C.
-
Its quiet operation, essential in a kitchen open to the dining room.
Challenges encountered and solutions implemented
-
Restricted height : The unit had to fit under a low ceiling, above the windows. Our technicians carefully adjusted the installation to meet the manufacturer's recommended clearances.
-
Pendant lighting : The presence of a central pendant could have interfered with airflow. The unit was positioned to avoid this obstacle and optimize air circulation.
An energy-efficient solution supported by grant programs
Thanks to the performance of the installed Gree heat pump, the owner benefits from a system eligible for provincial and federal grant programs (LogisVert, Rénoclimat, and Greener Homes). This financial assistance makes the investment even more accessible and profitable.
