Combining modern comfort and historical character
At AirGreen , we regularly work in apartments and condos in the Plateau-Mont-Royal region , where the typical architecture—brick walls, high ceilings, and tight divisions—requires precise technical choices. The installation of this Gree wall-mounted heat pump perfectly illustrates how we combine high-performance HVAC technology with respect for interior aesthetics .
Context of the intervention
Our client, living in a renovated condo in the Plateau , wanted to improve its four-season comfort. Despite good insulation, the summer heat accumulated by the brick walls and the cold of Montreal winters made the space difficult to live in. The choice fell on a high-efficiency wall-mounted heat pump from the Gree brand, renowned for its ability to perform down to -25°C and for its energy reliability.
Installation constraints and solutions
-
Load-bearing brick wall : the installation of the indoor unit had to respect the integrity of the masonry. We opted for careful drilling, with watertight sealing and discreet white capping, guaranteeing both durability and visual integration.
-
Condensates : the flow has been designed by gravity , which avoids the addition of a pump and reduces the risks of future maintenance.
-
Aesthetics : the wall head has been positioned above the decorative frame, ensuring even air diffusion without harming the interior design.
-
Electricity : A dedicated circuit was properly run to the panel, in accordance with RBQ standards.
Performance and energy efficiency
The installed Gree wall-mounted heat pump offers:
-
A power of 12,000 BTU , ideal for a medium-sized Montreal condo.
-
Energy efficiency (SEER2 > 20, HSPF2 > 10) , guaranteeing reduced bills for both air conditioning and heating.
-
Inverter technology ensuring quiet operation and soft starts.
Grants and savings
Thanks to its Energy Star certification, this installation is eligible for the LogisVert, Hydro-Québec and Federal (Greener Homes) grant programs . We assisted the client in preparing their file, allowing a significant reduction in the net acquisition cost.
Result obtained
At the end of the project, our client benefits from:
-
Stable interior comfort , summer and winter.
-
A discreet and aesthetic system , perfectly integrated into a heritage condo.
-
Optimized energy bills , thanks to a heat pump designed for the harsh winters of the Plateau-Mont-Royal.
