In this modern condo in Southwest Montreal , nearing completion, the owners wanted a high-performance heating and cooling solution that seamlessly integrated with their new décor. The main living area is an open-concept kitchen and living room with smooth ceilings, recessed LED lighting, and contemporary dark furnishings.
To meet these requirements for comfort and aesthetics, we installed a high-efficiency Gree wall-mounted heat pump , designed to offer four-season comfort while blending discreetly into the decor.
An open-plan space with demanding needs
Open areas like this one always present the same challenge:
-
large volumes to be air-conditioned;
-
multiple heat sources (kitchen, appliances, large windows);
-
a need for a uniform temperature, without excessively hot areas or drafts.
The homeowners wanted to be able to enjoy their kitchen and living room year-round, without excessive noise or large, visible appliances that would disrupt the clean aesthetic of the space. A Gree wall-mounted heat pump was the ideal solution.
A perfectly sized Gree wall-mounted heat pump
We opted for a new-generation Gree wall-mounted unit , approximately 12,000 BTU, equipped with inverter technology. This type of heat pump:
-
continuously modulates its power according to the actual needs of the room;
-
maintains a stable temperature without sudden variations;
-
reduces electricity consumption compared to a traditional air conditioner or electric baseboard heaters used alone;
-
ensures a very low noise level, particularly appreciated in an open area where people cook, work and entertain guests.
Thanks to this heat pump, the main area of the condo now benefits from efficient air conditioning and heating, without oversizing or loss of performance.
Strategic positioning on a central partition
The photo shows the Gree indoor unit mounted high up in the center of a clear white wall. This positioning was carefully chosen:
-
The high ceilings allow the blown air to be widely distributed in the living room and towards the kitchen.
-
The central position provides uniform diffusion, avoiding areas that are too cold near the unit and areas that are too hot at the periphery.
-
The chosen wall is clear of any obstruction (cabinets, television, structural column), which ensures optimal airflow.
The technical openings, located above the unit, allow the refrigeration lines, communication cabling, and power supply to be routed directly to the rear of the wall, minimizing visible conduits. Once finished, the overall result will be very clean and streamlined.
Integration into a contemporary design
One of the main objectives of this Southwest project was to integrate the heat pump into the interior design :
-
The Gree wall unit, white with rounded lines, blends into the wall and interacts well with the smooth ceiling and recessed LEDs.
-
The choice of wall and installation height make it minimally intrusive in the field of vision, while remaining easily accessible for filter maintenance.
-
No furniture or television is placed under the unit, which avoids conflicts between comfort and layout.
The result: a high-performance HVAC system, but visually discreet, perfectly in line with the minimalist style of the black kitchen and modern finishes.
Four-season comfort in Montreal's climate
With this Gree wall-mounted heat pump , the occupants now benefit from:
-
In summer , rapid air conditioning of the open area, even during the heat waves and humidity typical of Montreal;
-
In spring and autumn , gentle and constant heating is ideal for avoiding the need to start up more energy-intensive backup systems;
-
In winter , it provides support to the main heating system, which helps to stabilize the temperature in the central living area and reduce the electricity bill.
Humidity management, integrated filtration and the different modes (night, eco, dehumidification) also significantly improve air quality and daily comfort.
AirGreen support in the Southwest
In this project, our role was not limited to establishing a unified structure:
-
We analyzed the volumes and orientation of the open area to propose the correct BTU capacity;
-
We advised on the optimal positioning of the Gree wall-mounted head according to the future layout;
-
We coordinated the dedicated power supply and the routing of connections to the outdoor unit;
-
We have adjusted the commissioning to ensure quiet operation and maximum performance.

Conclusion: a Gree heat pump that's easy to forget... except for its comfort.
This Gree wall-mounted heat pump installation in Southwest Montreal perfectly illustrates what we love to achieve: a residential HVAC system that is efficient, economical, and seamlessly integrated into the aesthetics of a contemporary interior. The unit blends into the decor, but its impact is felt at every moment: stable temperature, healthier air, and year-round comfort in the main living area.
