Optimizing the comfort of a Montreal condo with a custom HVAC installation
At AirGreen , we understand that every wall-mounted heat pump installation project is unique. This one, carried out in a condo in Montreal's Côte-des-Neiges district , perfectly illustrates the importance of meticulous planning and proven technical expertise. Our client wanted a high-performance system to ensure consistent comfort throughout the year, with an efficient heating and cooling unit, while preserving the aesthetics of their interior.
A wise choice: the Gree wall-mounted heat pump
The Gree brand was chosen for this project due to its reliability, its wide range of Energy Star models, and its cold-climate performance, suited to Montreal winters. The selected capacity (12,000 BTU) perfectly matches the condo's dimensions and insulation, ensuring an optimal balance between energy consumption and comfort.
Technical features of the installation
-
Positioning : The indoor unit was installed in the center of the main wall of the living room, slightly raised, in order to optimize air diffusion and effectively cover the entire open space.
-
Discreet integration : the device was placed under the ceiling molding, creating a harmonious and unobtrusive aesthetic.
-
Controlled drilling : a through hole was made to pass the refrigerant connections to the outside. The outlet was carefully insulated and protected by a neutral-colored cap, guaranteeing watertightness and durability.
-
Condensate management : water is drained by gravity, which avoids the need for a pump and reduces the risk of breakdown.
-
Outdoor condenser : installed on a concrete slab on the rear balcony, it is protected from the elements and easily accessible for periodic HVAC maintenance.
Constraints encountered and solutions applied
In this project, two main challenges arose:
-
Tight spaces for conduit passage : The condo had a concrete structure, making it difficult to penetrate the wall. Our team used specialized tools to limit the impact and ensure a clean, watertight hole.
-
Preserving the interior aesthetics : to avoid visible ducts in the living room, we opted for discreet capping that blends in with the color of the wall, guaranteeing a professional and elegant finish.
Immediate benefits for the customer
-
Four-season comfort : efficient air conditioning in summer, stable heating even at -25°C in winter.
-
Energy savings : thanks to high efficiency (SEER and HSPF compliant with energy efficiency programs), the customer reduces their electricity bills.
-
Grant eligibility : This type of wall-mounted heat pump is among the devices eligible for energy transition programs (Hydro-Québec, LogisVert), reducing investment costs.
-
Peace of mind : With the AirGreen warranty and 24/7 HVAC maintenance, the customer benefits from complete support.
