An elegant and efficient integration by AirGreen in a Montreal duplex
At AirGreen , we are proud to have installed a Gree Vireo R32 wall-mounted heat pump in a magnificent duplex in the Outremont district of Montreal. This project perfectly illustrates our expertise in residential HVAC installation : combining energy performance , aesthetic discretion and lasting comfort , even in the most refined urban environments.
The Gree Vireo R32: pure efficiency and comfort
The Gree Vireo R32 is one of the most popular new-generation wall-mounted heat pumps . Operating on R-32 refrigerant , it reduces global warming potential by 68% compared to older R-410A models. With high seasonal efficiencies (up to 22 SEER) and a heating capacity down to −25°C , this unit ensures optimal comfort in all seasons—a major asset for harsh Montreal winters.
The model installed here, with a power of 12,000 BTUs , is ideal for heating and cooling a large living room or an open-plan space. Its quiet operation, its refined finishes and its discreet LED display blend harmoniously into the modern interior decor of the home.
Technical details of the installation
The indoor unit, installed approximately 2.3 meters above the floor, was strategically positioned on a central load-bearing wall to optimize air distribution throughout the room. AirGreen technicians carefully concealed the refrigerant lines in white capping that matched the wall moldings, ensuring a clean and aesthetically pleasing finish.
Outside, the condenser was fixed on galvanized wall brackets , on the rear facade of the building, ensuring good ventilation and gravity drainage of the condensate . The electrical installation was connected to a dedicated 15 A circuit breaker , in accordance with CSA standards and Quebec regulations.
Constraints and solutions provided by AirGreen
One of the challenges of this project was the restricted access to the load-bearing wall and the preservation of the original moldings . Our technicians used a precise drilling method , with an adjusted angle to avoid any moisture infiltration and to allow optimal passage of the drainage pipe.
Thanks to our experience in old buildings in the Plateau and Outremont , we were able to ensure a perfectly integrated installation, without altering the aesthetics or the structure.
Subsidies and energy performance
The Gree Vireo R32 meets the criteria of Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program, allowing customers to benefit from a grant of up to $650 for the purchase and installation of an energy-efficient heat pump. In addition, the reduction in electricity consumption compared to a conventional heating system offers a rapid return on investment , often in less than 5 years.
The result: comfort, silence and elegance
The owner immediately noticed the thermal stability and quiet operation of his new unit. In heating mode, the Gree Vireo maintains a uniform temperature without unpleasant drafts, and in cooling mode, it reduces ambient humidity for increased comfort during Montreal summers.
The minimalist design of the wall-mounted head, combined with the careful finishing of the AirGreen installation, blends perfectly with the bright and contemporary interior of the apartment.
