Combining modern comfort and aesthetics in a small space
At AirGreen , we recently completed the installation of a Gree wall-mounted heat pump in a charming condo in Plateau-Mont-Royal . This project perfectly illustrates how an HVAC system can integrate harmoniously into an urban environment, while providing comfort, efficiency, and discretion.
Project background
The owner was looking for a reliable heating and cooling solution for his condo. The constraints were clear:
-
Limited space typical of a Plateau dwelling;
-
Need a compact and quiet wall unit ;
-
Quick installation without disturbing existing configuration;
-
Maintaining a neat interior design, the unit must coexist with decorative elements.
After evaluation, we recommended a Gree wall-mounted heat pump with a capacity of 12,000 BTU , suitable for medium-sized rooms and the energy needs of an urban space.
Technical details of the installation
-
Machine type : Wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split).
-
Brand : Gree, known for its reliability and cold weather performance.
-
Capacity : 12,000 BTU, sufficient to ensure optimal comfort in this type of condo.
-
Winter performance : Efficient operation down to −25°C , making the unit eligible for certain provincial grants .
-
Installation process : The indoor unit was installed on a load-bearing wall, with discreet white capping to conceal the refrigeration pipes. Condensate was drained by gravity, avoiding the need for a lift pump.
Challenges encountered and solutions applied
-
Limited wall space : The unit needed to be placed above a piece of art without compromising its aesthetic. Our team chose a precise positioning that allowed for optimal airflow while maintaining visual harmony.
-
Drilling management : The passage of ducts to the outside has been optimized to reduce the length of the refrigeration lines , thus minimizing efficiency losses.
-
Respect for the neighborhood : As is often the case in the Plateau, the proximity of housing requires a quiet and well-oriented outdoor installation to avoid any nuisance.
Benefits for the customer
-
Four-season comfort : Efficient heating in winter and efficient air conditioning in summer.
-
Energy Savings : Thanks to a high SEER2 and inverter technology, energy bills are significantly reduced.
-
Eligibility for subsidies : Programs such as Hydro-Québec and LogisVert help reduce the cost of purchase.
-
Discreet design : The unit blends seamlessly into the decor, without compromising interior aesthetics.
