An energy efficiency project adapted to Quebec's winter reality
At AirGreen , we know that the efficiency of an HVAC system depends not only on the choice of equipment, but also on the quality of its installation. Recently, our team installed an LG wall-mounted heat pump in a single-family home located in Laval , an area where homeowners are looking for comfort, energy savings, and durability in the face of harsh winters.
Client context and needs
The owner wanted to replace an old, energy-intensive electric heating system with a more modern solution that could provide efficient heating in winter and effective air conditioning in summer . After analyzing the home's thermal needs and the characteristics of the facade, we recommended an LG wall-mounted heat pump , renowned for its reliability, energy efficiency, and good value for money.
Technical details of the installation
-
Outdoor unit type : LG compressor installed on sturdy wall brackets, raised to avoid contact with snow.
-
Pipework route : approximately 3 meters of refrigerant and electrical connections, protected by cream-colored capping , blending perfectly with the yellow brick of the house.
-
Drainage : gravity drainage, avoiding the use of a condensate pump and thus reducing future maintenance.
-
Positioning : discreet installation on the side of the residence, ensuring both aesthetics and accessibility for maintenance.
Constraints encountered and solutions provided
-
Winter constraint : the presence of snow around the slab required raising the outdoor unit to avoid accumulation and ensure optimal air circulation.
-
Facade aesthetics : in order to preserve visual harmony, we selected a capping color suited to the masonry.
Thanks to these adjustments, the installation meets not only the functional needs, but also the aesthetic expectations of the client.
The advantages of the installed LG heat pump
-
Energy performance : high SEER coefficient in air conditioning mode and efficient HSPF in heating mode.
-
Annual savings : substantial reduction in electric heating costs, particularly advantageous in an area like Laval where winters are long and harsh.
-
Grant eligibility : This heat pump is part of the equipment eligible for provincial and federal programs promoting the energy transition.
