  1. 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.

  2. The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.

  3. Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.

  4. A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.

  5. The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.

  6. On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.

  7. The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.

Why the Gree Sapphire 18,000 BTU Heat Pump?

The Gree Sapphire stands out as a masterpiece of efficiency, comfort, and technological innovation. Designed to withstand the harshest of winters and the warmest of summers, this heat pump ensures that your home maintains the perfect temperature year-round. Here’s why this particular model is a fantastic choice:

1. Superior Heating Performance in Extreme Cold

Montreal winters can be brutal, but the Gree Sapphire is engineered to handle the challenge. With a heating capacity down to -30°C, this heat pump ensures you stay warm and comfortable even during the coldest nights. This feature makes it a fantastic investment for homes in Quebec, where reliable heating is not just a luxury—it’s a necessity.

2. High-Efficiency Cooling for Summer Comfort

Summers in Montreal can be just as challenging, with humidity and high temperatures making indoor living uncomfortable. The 18,000 BTU cooling capacity of the Gree Sapphire offers exceptional cooling that quickly and efficiently brings the indoor temperature to your desired level.

3. Energy Savings and Environmental Benefits

The Gree Sapphire’s 24.5 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) means that it operates at an impressive level of efficiency, resulting in significant savings on your energy bills. Additionally, the system uses R-410A refrigerant, which is environmentally friendly, helping reduce your carbon footprint while ensuring top-notch performance.

Our Installation Process: Precision and Professionalism

At AirGreen, our goal is to make the installation process as seamless and hassle-free as possible. Here's a step-by-step look at how we brought the Gree Sapphire to life in this Anjou home:

Step 1: Initial Assessment and Consultation

We began by conducting a comprehensive assessment of the home, understanding the specific heating and cooling needs of the space. This process helps us tailor the installation to maximize the unit’s efficiency and performance.

Step 2: Expert Installation and Mounting

The indoor unit was installed above a large window, ensuring optimal air distribution throughout the room. Our technicians took great care to securely mount the system, ensuring that it blends seamlessly with the room's aesthetics.

Step 3: Outdoor Unit Setup and Connection

The exterior unit, equipped with state-of-the-art technology, was installed in a location that optimizes airflow and minimizes noise disruption. Our technicians carefully connected the indoor and outdoor units using insulated pipes to maintain energy efficiency.

Step 4: Testing and Quality Assurance

Before we completed the project, our team performed rigorous testing to ensure that the system was operating at peak performance. This step guarantees that the Gree Sapphire will provide years of reliable service.

Your numbers

And at your place?

Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.

Size checkYour baseboards, in BTU/h
–BTU/h of installed electric heat

    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.

    Through the seasons

    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.

    Frequently asked questions

    What people ask us about this kind of work

    12 questions
    Does a wall-mounted heat pump heat in winter?
    Yes, it heats and cools. Its capacity drops in very cold weather; the operating range depends on the model and is listed on its spec sheet.
    Wall-mounted or multi-zone: how do I choose?
    One wall head and one condenser outside: the direct solution for a room or an open area. For two to five rooms, a multi-zone puts one head in each room on a single condenser.
    Where does the outdoor unit go?
    Where it stays above the snow, clear and accessible, away from walkways. We decide it with you during the estimate.
    Are there grants?
    Depending on the model and your situation, assistance programs may apply, including Hydro-Québec's LogisVert. AirGreen checks the model number before quoting an amount. See the grants.
    Do I need a permit?
    Rules vary from city to city: location, distances, noise. See permits and by-laws, and we check for your address.
    How cold can it heat?
    It depends on the model. According to Hydro-Québec, newer models work down to a temperature between −15 °C and −25 °C, and some cold-climate models are certified lower. The minimum temperature is on each unit's spec sheet.
    How much can I save?
    Hydro-Québec says a heat pump can be up to three times more efficient than baseboards for heating in the colder months. The result depends on the house, the climate and how it is used.
    How is the LogisVert assistance calculated?
    For ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified heat pumps, Hydro-Québec lists assistance of $120 per 1,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at −8 °C. AirGreen checks the exact model before quoting an amount; only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted. See the grants.
    Is it noisy?
    The sound level depends on the model and is listed in decibels on each unit's spec sheet. Location matters too: when possible, we avoid putting the outdoor unit under a bedroom window.
    The outdoor unit is covered in ice: is that normal?
    Some frost is: the unit runs defrost cycles. Never hit the ice. If the unit stays iced up or stops heating, call us.
    Does AirGreen hold the required licences?
    Yes. AirGreen holds RBQ licence 5645-9605-01, subclasses 15.8 Ventilation, 15.10 Refrigeration and 16 Electricity.
    Is the estimate free?
    Yes. The on-site estimate is free and the quote follows within 24 hours. Book my free estimate.
