Installation of a Gree wall-mounted heat pump in a residential garage in Brossard

At AirGreen , we are often called upon to transform "technical" spaces – such as a garage – into comfortable and useful year-round areas. That's exactly what we accomplished here, in a residential garage in Brossard , with the installation of a Gree wall-mounted heat pump .

The context: a garage converted into a living space

The client uses their garage not only to park their vehicle, but also as a workspace and storage area. It includes:

• A wall-mounted electric vehicle charging station

• An electrical panel nearby

• A smoke detector on the ceiling

In short, a modern, secure environment that deserved thermal comfort to match.

The need was twofold:

1. Heating the garage in winter so that it can be moved around and worked in without suffering from the Quebec cold.

2. Cooling in summer , when the space quickly becomes stifling, especially with a vehicle parked inside.

Choosing a Gree wall-mounted heat pump

To meet these requirements, we recommended a new generation Gree wall-mounted heat pump, approximately 12,000 BTU , perfectly sized for a well-insulated residential garage.

This solution offers several advantages:

• Efficient heating in winter , even at low outside temperatures

• Efficient air conditioning in summer , to keep the air cool and dry

• Quiet operation , important in a room adjacent to the house

• Inverter technology , which continuously adapts the power and maximizes energy savings

The Gree brand is known for the reliability of its mini-splits and integrates very well into residential projects in Greater Montreal.

A clean and safe indoor installation

The photo shows the Gree wall-mounted head installed high up, very close to the ceiling. This positioning is not accidental:

• It allows for a homogeneous distribution of air throughout the entire volume of the garage.

• It frees up wall space for storage, the electrical panel, and the charging station.

• It protects the unit from potential impacts (tools, bicycles, car doors).

The adjustable blades direct the airflow either towards the center of the garage or towards the work area, depending on the customer's needs.

To the right of the unit, we installed a white cable tray that conceals the refrigerant lines, the condensation drain, and the wiring. The result: a clean, discreet, and easy-to-maintain finish, perfectly suited to a garage already equipped with visible electrical installations.

The condensation drain is sloped correctly to evacuate water to the outside, preventing any infiltration or puddle on the ground.

Integration with the electric vehicle charging station

An important aspect of this project was the proximity of the electric vehicle charging station . We have:

• Checked the routing of existing cables to avoid any conflict with the heat pump ducts.

• Position the wall-mounted head so that the airflow does not blow directly onto the terminal or the cables.

• Coordinated the power supply of the heat pump with the panel already heavily used by charging the vehicle.

The result is a coherent and functional garage: the customer can recharge their vehicle in a temperature-controlled space, which is ideal both for their comfort and for the durability of certain components.

The outdoor unit: designed for Quebec winters

Although it doesn't appear in the photo, the Gree outdoor unit was installed outside, on the other side of the wall:

• On raised wall supports , to protect it from snow accumulation.

• With anti-vibration silent blocks , to prevent the transmission of noise to the garage walls.

• By providing sufficient clearance for airflow and access for future maintenance.

We also took care to orient the unit in such a way as to limit direct exposure to the prevailing wind, which helps the heat pump maintain excellent performance during periods of extreme cold.

Four-season comfort and energy savings

Thanks to this Gree wall-mounted heat pump, the customer now benefits from:

• From a comfortable garage in winter , even when the temperature drops well below zero.

• Fresh and dry air in summer , ideal for DIY projects, storing equipment or simply accessing your vehicle.

• A system that is much more energy-efficient than a simple electric convector heater or a portable space heater.

This 4-season comfort adds to the property's value and makes the garage truly usable all year round.

AirGreen support in Brossard and throughout Greater Montreal

As with each of our installations, we have:

• Advised the client on the sizing of the heat pump .

• Planned the routing of piping and wiring to minimize visual impact .

• Checked the entire system (pressure, vacuums, start-up, operating modes).

• Explained to the owner how the remote control works , the heating/cooling/dehumidification modes, and best practices for saving energy.

We also offer maintenance services (wall head cleaning, parameter checks, visual inspection of the outdoor unit) to ensure optimal long-term performance.
