An HVAC installation project adapted to a technical workspace
At AirGreen , we understand that heating and cooling needs aren't limited to homes. Many workshops, warehouses, and technical spaces also require optimal thermal comfort to ensure productivity and protect stored equipment. Recently, our team installed a Gree wall-mounted heat pump in a workshop located in the Saint-Laurent borough of Montreal . This environment presented unique challenges related to ceiling height, shelving layout, and existing electrical constraints.
This achievement perfectly illustrates our expertise in the light commercial HVAC sector in Greater Montreal.
The characteristics of the installed wall-mounted heat pump
The Gree wall-mounted heat pump chosen for this workshop offers a power of 12,000 BTU , ideal for efficiently regulating a space of 30 to 40 m² such as a single-story workshop. Its main features include:
-
Inverter technology for intelligent modulation and reduced consumption.
-
Heating function down to -25°C , perfectly suited to the Montreal climate.
-
Built-in air filtration , reducing dust and particles in an environment where technical equipment is stored.
-
Quiet operation , essential in a workshop where concentration is necessary.
This range is also eligible for certain energy subsidies under Quebec's LogisVert program when used in a residential context. Even though in this specific case it was a professional workshop, the same energy efficiency benefits remain.
Technical challenges encountered and solutions provided
Wall space management
The workshop had numerous metal storage shelves occupying almost all of the walls. Therefore, it was necessary to identify a strategic location allowing smooth air circulation without hindering access to the tools. The indoor unit was installed above the entrance door , maximizing the use of available vertical space.
Drilling and passage of connections
The refrigerant and electrical lines were discreetly routed through the rear wall. Our team used white capping to visually harmonize the installation and protect the pipes from impact and dust.
Condensate management
Given the configuration of the space, we opted for gravity drainage to the exterior, thus avoiding the addition of a condensate pump and reducing the risk of additional maintenance.
Integration into the existing electrical system
The proximity of the electrical panel made it easy to connect the heat pump, while complying with RBQ electrical standards. A dedicated circuit breaker was added to ensure the safety and compliance of the installation.
Results achieved and customer satisfaction
As soon as it was switched on, the workshop owner noticed a rapid stabilization of the temperature . In the summer, the space benefits from uniform air conditioning, preventing heat buildup around the equipment. In the winter, the heating not only allows for better working conditions, but also protects electronic equipment and sensitive tools from humidity and excessive cold.
The customer also appreciated:
-
The speed of the intervention (installation carried out in a single day).
-
The cleanliness of the site despite the environment loaded with materials.
-
Advice provided by our team on regular HVAC maintenance , including filter cleaning and annual refrigerant checks.
