Optimized comfort in a bright urban space
In Montreal's vibrant Southwest neighborhood, AirGreen recently completed the installation of a Gree wall-mounted heat pump . Located in a typical Montreal condo with direct access to a back deck, this installation perfectly illustrates how a well-planned HVAC installation can transform a space both functionally and aesthetically.
The indoor unit was positioned above a patio door opening onto the courtyard, a strategic location to optimize the diffusion of fresh air in summer and heat in winter. The goal: to ensure constant comfort in the main room without compromising natural light or access to the outdoors.
AirGreen technical choices and expertise
Unit positioning
Installing a wall-mounted heat pump above a patio door requires great precision. The height provides optimal air circulation, but requires meticulous work to ensure a perfect seal and discreet integration into the interior design.
Our technicians used white capping to conceal the refrigeration and electrical conduits, ensuring a harmonious finish that blends perfectly with the apartment's light decor.
Condensate drainage
The unit has been configured for gravity drainage , suitable for the existing wall configuration. This avoids the need for a condensate pump, thus reducing the risk of additional noise and future maintenance.
Wall crossing and external connection
The pipes were routed directly through the wall overlooking the terrace, limiting the length of the pipes and reducing energy losses. Outside, the condenser is discreetly installed, without encroaching on the occupants' outdoor living space.
Why a Gree wall-mounted heat pump?
Energy performance
Gree wall-mounted heat pumps are known for their low-temperature performance, often down to -25°C , making them a solution perfectly suited to Montreal's climate. Residents benefit from guaranteed comfort even during the intense cold of January and February.
Economy and subsidies
Thanks to its energy efficiency and Energy Star certification, this model is eligible for provincial and federal grant programs , such as LogisVert and Greener Homes . This allows homeowners to significantly reduce their installation costs while achieving monthly energy savings.
Year-round comfort
The capacity of the chosen unit, approximately 12,000 BTU , perfectly meets the needs of an open living space including living room and dining room. The system ensures rapid cooling in summer and constant and economical heating in winter.
Challenges encountered and solutions provided
One of the major challenges was the limited space above the patio door, leaving limited room for installing the indoor unit. Our technicians precisely adjusted the wall bracket and drilled the holes to ensure safety, stability, and aesthetics.
In addition, the installation was planned to minimize the impact on the existing layout of the condo, with a clean, fast and undisturbed job for the occupants.
Results obtained
From the moment it was turned on, the heat pump demonstrated its effectiveness: even air distribution, quiet operation, and rapid temperature rise. The owners immediately noticed a noticeable difference in indoor comfort, while also being confident they were reducing their energy bills throughout the seasons.
