Maximizing Comfort in a Cathedral Ceiling Space
At AirGreen , we often encounter unique installation challenges in homes with distinctive architectural designs. One of the most striking examples is this Saint-Laurent home, featuring a cathedral ceiling living room with large windows, where we installed a Gree wall-mounted heat pump .
The Challenges of a Cathedral Ceiling
Installing a wall-mounted air conditioner or heat pump in a room with such height requires careful planning.
-
Vertical air circulation : since heat tends to rise, it was necessary to ensure that the distribution was uniform, both at floor and ceiling level.
-
Mounting height : The inner head had to be securely mounted at a height, with easy access for future maintenance.
-
Aesthetics and discretion : in such a refined and luminous space, the integration had to remain sober and harmonious.
Our technicians used a reinforced anchor and a perfectly aligned conduit passage, with discreet capping in a neutral color.
Why Gree chose this house
The Gree brand is known for its performance in cold climates , essential in Montreal and particularly appreciated on the North Shore and the South Shore. The model installed here offers:
-
Stable performance down to -25°C in heating mode.
-
Quiet operation (ideal in an open space).
-
Energy efficiency that significantly reduces electricity costs.
In addition, this type of heat pump is generally eligible for provincial and federal subsidies (e.g. LogisVert, Greener Homes), which represents substantial savings for the customer.
Condensation management and maintenance
Given the height of the installation, we installed a gravity drainage system to prevent any water accumulation. Maintenance, although requiring a suitable ladder, remains simple: cleaning the filters and annual check of the refrigeration load.
At AirGreen, we always recommend preventative HVAC maintenance to extend the life of the machine and maintain its performance.
Result and comfort obtained
After commissioning, the customer immediately noticed:
-
Consistent freshness in summer despite the high ceilings.
-
Stable heat in winter without cold spots near the floor.
-
Superior comfort compared to the old, noisy and energy-consuming portable system.
Thanks to this installation, the house now combines aesthetics, energy efficiency and all-season comfort .
Conclusion
At AirGreen, every project is unique. This Gree wall-mounted heat pump installation in Saint-Laurent demonstrates our expertise: combining technology, efficiency, and aesthetic integration into complex residential environments.
