A height installation optimized for comfort and efficiency
At AirGreen , we regularly complete projects in urban environments where every detail counts. The recent installation of a Gree wall-mounted heat pump in a condo in Montreal's Ville-Marie district perfectly illustrates our technical expertise and our ability to tackle complex installation challenges.
In this project, the interior header was mounted over 15 feet above an open-concept living room with a cathedral ceiling. This type of configuration requires careful planning, appropriate equipment, and rigorous coordination to ensure both energy performance and aesthetics.
The characteristics of the installed wall-mounted heat pump
The wall-mounted heat pump chosen by the client is a latest-generation Gree unit , renowned for its stable performance even during Montreal's harsh winters. Here are some key points:
-
BTU capacity adapted to the open space of the condo, guaranteeing optimal comfort both in the living room and on the mezzanine.
-
Energy efficiency (SEER/HSPF) to reduce heating and cooling costs.
-
Quiet operation , essential in an open-plan living space.
-
Compatibility with Quebec energy efficiency grant programs , when the device meets Energy Star criteria and winter performance thresholds.
Installation challenges encountered
Installing a wall-mounted heat pump in a condo with a double-height ceiling presents several constraints:
-
Difficult access at height : we used a professional telescopic ladder and secure equipment to reach the installation area.
-
Wiring and conduit management : a long route was required, including a discreet exit to the exterior to preserve the interior aesthetics.
-
Condensate drainage : a gravity system was able to be set up thanks to the elevation of the outlet point, avoiding the addition of a condensate pump.
-
Neat aesthetics : the refrigerant cables and pipes have been protected by white capping to match the wall.
The impact of location choice
Installing high up in an open space offers a major advantage: the even distribution of conditioned and heated air throughout the condo. The unit's strategic position maximizes the heat pump's efficiency while avoiding drafty areas.
Final result and customer satisfaction
After a few hours of work, the wall-mounted heat pump was commissioned and tested. The customer immediately noticed:
-
A significant improvement in thermal comfort .
-
The unit's sound is discreet , even at full power.
-
A preserved aesthetic , without compromising on the modern design of the condo.
