In Fabreville, you'll find many single-family homes with concrete foundations, vinyl siding, and typical suburban landscaping—a perfect setting for a well-sized wall-mounted heat pump. At AirGreen, we recently installed aMidea wall-mounted heat pump ( Midea28 series, renowned for its winter performance) to provide our client with consistent comfort for both cooling in the summer and heating during the Quebec winter.
Why a Midea wall-mounted heat pump in Fabreville?
Fabreville, like many areas of Laval, experiences significant temperature variations: humid heat waves in the summer, dry cold and freezing periods in the winter. A wall-mounted heat pump is often the most logical solution when you want to:
-
To quickly cool living spaces (living room, open area, upstairs)
-
Heating efficiently during the cold seasons
-
Reduce reliance on electric baseboard heaters
-
Gain comfort without major pipework work
With Midea , we aim for a good balance between performance, reliability and total cost , while maintaining a discreet and durable installation.
The installed system: Midea wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split type)
From the photo, we can clearly identify an outdoor unit of a mini-split air conditioner (compact format, front fan, typical residential installation). The choice of the Midea28 range is logical for this type of project: a "next-generation" solution designed to deliver good performance even when the temperature drops.
In this type of residence in Fabreville, the wall-mounted heat pump is particularly appreciated because it allows for:
-
a uniform temperature
-
effective dehumidification in summer
-
a quick response (immediate comfort)
-
quiet operation when the installation is done correctly
Visible installation details: what makes the difference
A heat pump isn't just the machine itself; it's primarily about the quality of the installation . And here, several details demonstrate an installation designed for longevity.
1) Outdoor unit on wall brackets, well clear of the ground
The unit is installed on metal wall brackets attached to the foundation. This is a smart choice in Laval because:
-
We keep the machine above the snow and ice
-
we limit contact with soil moisture
-
We improve air circulation around the device
-
Seasonal maintenance (cleaning, inspection) is made easier.
2) Vibration management and stability
The support points are designed to keep the unit stable , which reduces:
-
vibrations (and therefore noise)
-
premature wear
-
micro-displacements that can weaken the piping over time
3) Clean and discreet routing of refrigeration lines
The connections are neatly routed from under the unit. In a mini-split system, this is crucial:
-
to protect the pipes
-
to avoid pinch points
-
to ensure a durable seal of the connections
4) Consistent location: concrete foundation, away from traffic areas
The choice of wall (concrete foundation, lateral area with grass) is typical of an "intelligent" layout:
-
less risk of collisions (lawnmower, snow removal, traffic)
-
Perceived noise is reduced because activity zones are avoided.
-
more discreet aesthetics (the block remains visually “clean”)
Desired performance: air conditioning in summer… and heating in winter
The need in Fabreville is often twofold: to cool efficiently on the hot days of July, then to heat efficiently from autumn onwards and during cold periods.
With a properly installed and sized Midea wall-mounted heat pump, the goal is:
-
stable air conditioning without a feeling of "humid air"
-
comfortable heating that reduces the electricity bill
-
a better perceived air quality (fewer sudden variations)
And above all: a machine that remains efficient in real-world conditions, not just “on paper”.
AirGreen's best practices for protecting your investment
Even with an excellent machine, there are simple rules that maximize lifespan and comfort:
-
Clearance : Do not obstruct the outdoor unit (snow, leaves, branches)
-
Seasonal cleaning : remove dirt and check drainage
-
Internal filters : regular maintenance to maintain optimal airflow
-
Preventive inspection : a little follow-up avoids big surprises
We place a lot of emphasis on this at AirGreen, because a heat pump is a high-performance system… but one that requires a minimum of attention to stay at its best.
Why entrust the installation to AirGreen in Laval?
In Fabreville and throughout Laval, we often see installations that are "correct" at the time, but which create problems after 1 or 2 winters: vibrations, poorly managed drainage, unit too low, poor clearance, or location that amplifies noise.
Our approach is simple:
-
clean and sustainable installation
-
attention to detail (supports, clearances, stability)
-
clear explanations to the customer
-
Objective: a heat pump that works for a long time , not just one that "starts on day 1"
