Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.
The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.
Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.
The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.
On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.
The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.

The Installation Process: Precision and Professionalism
Step 1: Assessing the Space
Our team began by conducting a detailed assessment of the property to determine the optimal location for the indoor and outdoor units. Considering the homeowner’s desire for minimal visual disruption, we selected a discreet spot that ensured efficient air distribution throughout the home.
Step 2: Installing the Indoor Unit
The sleek, wall-mounted GREE LIVO GEN4 indoor unit was installed in the living area, where it could provide maximum comfort. Measuring 37.13 x 9.69 x 13.13 inches, the unit was mounted securely to ensure stability and seamless integration with the room’s decor.
Step 3: Placing the Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit, with dimensions of 31.63 x 13.88 x 21.88 inches, was strategically positioned to minimize noise impact and exposure to the elements. This placement ensures longevity and optimal performance.
Step 4: Connecting the System
Using high-quality piping (1/4 - 1/2 inch) and environmentally friendly R-410A refrigerant, we connected the indoor and outdoor units. The system’s low-voltage start-up and inverter technology were tested to ensure precise temperature regulation and energy efficiency.
Step 5: Testing and Customer Orientation
Before completing the installation, our technicians conducted rigorous testing to ensure everything was functioning perfectly. We then provided the homeowner with a detailed walkthrough of the system’s features, including how to use the WiFi controls for remote operation.

And at your place?
Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.
Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.
