An Installation That Handles the Extremes: Côte Saint-Luc Welcomes the Gree Extrême
At AirGreen, we pride ourselves on offering efficient and reliable heating and cooling solutions, no matter the conditions. In our latest project, we installed a 9,000 BTU Gree Extrême wall-mounted heat pump in Côte Saint-Luc, and this was no ordinary installation. It’s not just about comfort, it’s about making sure homes stay comfortable even when winter hits its harshest. Let’s take you through the details of this project and why the Gree Extrême is a game-changer in the world of HVAC.
Meeting Extreme Canadian Weather Head-On
Côte Saint-Luc is no stranger to the harsh, frigid winters of Québec, where temperatures regularly drop below -20°C. This is where the Gree Extrême truly shines. With a heating capacity that remains efficient down to -30°C, this system ensures warm, cozy living conditions during the coldest months of the year. It’s not just a typical wall-mounted air conditioner; it’s a heat pump designed specifically to face extreme cold without breaking a sweat—or in this case, without freezing.
Our client in Côte Saint-Luc needed a system that could deliver consistent heating even during the most punishing winter days. The Gree Extrême’s advanced defrosting system ensures the outdoor unit doesn’t freeze over, maintaining the heat pump’s performance without interruption. This was a crucial factor in the decision to choose this model for their home.
Perfect Fit for Compact Spaces
The Gree Extrême is designed to fit into tight spaces with ease. The indoor unit, measuring a sleek 38.19 inches by 8.86 inches by 11.81 inches, blended seamlessly into the home’s modern decor, while the outdoor unit was securely mounted in the building’s parking garage, thanks to our specialized installation team. Despite the challenging location, the system’s compact exterior—just 35.38 inches long and 23.5 inches high—was a perfect fit, providing powerful heating and cooling without occupying too much space.
Smart Technology for Smart Homes
One of the standout features of the Gree Extrême is its built-in WiFi module. This allows homeowners to control their heat pump remotely via the Gree+ app, adjusting the temperature to their exact preferences from anywhere in the world. Whether our Côte Saint-Luc client is on vacation or simply enjoying a cozy evening at home, they can rest assured that their heating and cooling system is always just a tap away.
The Gree Extrême also comes with I-Feel technology, a smart temperature sensor located inside the remote control. This ensures that the system heats or cools based on the actual temperature around the user, rather than the unit, leading to more accurate and personalized comfort.
Eligible for Grants and Subsidies
Beyond performance, this installation came with financial benefits. The Gree Extrême is Energy Star® certified, making it eligible for up to $400 in provincial subsidies from Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program. Additionally, federal grants under the Greener Homes initiative can offer up to $2,500, making this an attractive option for those looking to improve their home’s energy efficiency while also saving on installation costs.
Cutting-Edge Features for Year-Round Comfort
The Gree Extrême 9,000 BTU unit is much more than just a seasonal solution. Its impressive 38 SEER rating guarantees that it provides both highly efficient cooling in the summer and powerful heating during the coldest days of winter. In fact, this heat pump’s cooling capacity is ideal for homes where keeping energy consumption low is just as important as staying comfortable.
Our client in Côte Saint-Luc can now enjoy whisper-quiet operation, with the outdoor unit running at just 53 dB(A), ensuring the system won’t disturb them—or their neighbors—whether it's maintaining a pleasant indoor temperature or keeping the home warm during a snowstorm. Meanwhile, the indoor unit’s noise level ranges from just 19 to 46 dB(A), making it barely noticeable even in the quietest of settings.
Efficient Defrosting for Maximum Heating Power
Winter in Québec often brings freezing temperatures that can challenge even the toughest heating systems. However, the Gree Extrême is equipped with an intelligent compressor defrosting system, which only activates when necessary, ensuring the outdoor unit doesn’t accumulate ice. This smart feature guarantees that energy is conserved while providing maximum heating power when it’s needed the most.
A Two-Stage Compressor for Precision and Efficiency
One of the most innovative features of the Gree Extrême is its two-stage compressor. Unlike traditional heat pumps, this system doesn’t simply turn on and off; it adjusts its output to match the home’s heating or cooling needs. This results in less wear and tear on the system, lower electricity bills, and a more precise temperature throughout the house.
The Best Warranty on the Market
At AirGreen, we stand behind the quality of the products we install. The Gree Extrême comes with an industry-leading 10-year warranty on the compressor, parts, and labor. This gives our client peace of mind, knowing that their investment is protected for the long term. With regular maintenance, this unit will continue providing exceptional comfort for years to come.
Eco-Friendly and Future-Proof
The Gree Extrême uses the environmentally friendly refrigerant R-410A, which has a much lower impact on the ozone layer compared to older refrigerants. This not only helps reduce the system’s environmental footprint but also ensures it meets future environmental regulations, making it a smart choice for homeowners who are concerned about sustainability.
Turbo Mode for Quick Comfort
One of the more exciting features of the Gree Extrême is its Turbo mode, which allows the system to reach the desired temperature faster than normal. Whether it’s cooling down the house after a hot summer day or quickly warming things up on a freezing winter morning, this feature ensures that the client in Côte Saint-Luc experiences the comfort they need, when they need it.
