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.
Elevate Your Home Comfort with the Gree Pular Mini Split Installation in Montreal
At AirGreen, we pride ourselves on providing top-tier HVAC services across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and the North and South Shores. Our latest installation showcases the Gree Pular 12,000 BTU Mini Split, a model that exemplifies energy efficiency, aesthetic integration, and high performance. This particular installation was completed in a Montreal residence, and it perfectly illustrates how the Gree Pular is an ideal solution for residential heating and cooling needs, even in extreme climates.
The Project: Custom Comfort for a Montreal Home
For this project, we were approached by a homeowner in Montreal looking to upgrade their heating and cooling system. With Montreal’s unpredictable weather, they wanted a system that could handle both scorching summer days and frigid winter nights. After discussing their needs and space configuration, we recommended the Gree Pular 12,000 BTU Mini Split. This model stands out not only for its sleek design but also for its robust performance in both heating and cooling. The homeowner also qualified for the LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec, securing a rebate of $840. Combined with other available federal grants, this made the Gree Pular both an affordable and energy-efficient choice.
Why the Gree Pular?
The Gree Pular Mini Split offers numerous features that make it a preferred option for homes and businesses alike. Here's why we recommended this model for our client:
- Cooling Capacity: With a capacity of 12,000 BTU, this unit can effectively cool medium-sized rooms even in the peak of summer.
- Heating Capability: Montreal winters can be harsh, with temperatures often plunging below freezing. The Gree Pular is engineered to perform even in extreme cold, with the ability to heat at temperatures as low as -30°C. This makes it ideal for the Quebec climate.
- Energy Efficiency: With a 24.0 SEER rating, the Gree Pular is Energy Star® certified, ensuring that the homeowner benefits from energy savings throughout the year.
- WiFi Connectivity: In today's smart home era, the Gree Pular’s built-in WiFi allows the user to control the system remotely. Whether at home or away, the temperature settings can be adjusted for optimal comfort.
Installation Details
Our skilled technicians ensured that this installation was seamless and efficient, integrating the unit into the client’s home without disrupting the existing design. The interior unit, measuring 32.5 inches wide, 7.69 inches deep, and 11.5 inches high, was mounted high on the wall to maximize airflow and blend with the room's aesthetic. The outdoor unit, though compact, was strategically placed for maximum efficiency while minimizing noise, boasting a sound pressure level of 52.0 dB(A)—quiet enough not to disturb the neighbors.
In terms of materials, we used high-quality piping and electrical components to guarantee the longevity of the installation. The customer opted for a 1/4 - 1/2 inch piping size, ensuring the optimal refrigerant flow and overall system performance.

At AirGreen, we assist all of our clients in navigating these rebate programs to make energy-efficient upgrades as affordable as possible.
Sound Performance Without Compromise
For clients sensitive to noise, the Gree Pular is a fantastic choice. During normal operation, the interior unit’s sound level is as low as 37 dB(A)—equivalent to a quiet library. Even at higher settings, it remains whisper-quiet, ensuring that the homeowner’s comfort isn’t compromised by a noisy unit.
Extended Warranty for Peace of Mind
We understand that peace of mind is important when investing in a new HVAC system. That’s why the Gree Pular comes with an impressive 12-year warranty on both the compressor and parts. For those seeking additional coverage, we offer an extended warranty that covers 10 years on labor, ensuring that the system remains in top condition for years to come.

The big day, step by step
The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.

What would it look like 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.

Your own project, step by step
What to do, season by season
Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.
- Clean the indoor unit's filters.
- Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
- Test cooling before the first hot days.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
Is your home ready?
Check what applies at your place. A "no" is not a refusal: it is what we sort out during the estimate.
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.
During defrost cycles. That water must drain away without forming ice.
2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.
Windows, insulation, orientation and how the room is used all count. Capacity is chosen on site.
3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.
One head per room, all on the same condenser. Each room keeps its own temperature.
4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.
It must stay accessible: it is what shuts the unit off for service.
