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.
A residential installation designed for durability and efficiency
At AirGreen , we understand that every wall-mounted heat pump installation project must adapt to both the energy needs and the physical constraints of the home. In this case, our team traveled to Laval , in a typical residential area, to install a Midea wall-mounted heat pump designed to provide optimal comfort in all seasons.
This intervention perfectly illustrates our approach: rigorous, professional and focused on the long-term comfort of the occupants.
Details of equipment and model selection
The Midea heat pump installed here is a compact and efficient unit, suitable for single-family homes.
-
Capacity : 12,000 to 15,000 BTU (depending on the configuration chosen by the customer).
-
Technology : Inverter, allowing fine modulation of power and better energy efficiency.
-
Efficiency : Energy Star certified, eligible for Quebec subsidies under programs such as LogisVert and ÉcoPerformance.
-
Comfort : Efficient heating down to -25°C, quiet cooling during summer.
This choice was motivated by the search for a reliable device, capable of reducing electricity consumption while maintaining a stable temperature, whether in the middle of January or during a July heatwave.
A tailor-made installation process
The installation required precise planning in order to meet the specific constraints of the house:
-
High wall mount : The outdoor condenser has been securely fixed using galvanized wall brackets, freeing up floor space, limiting snow accumulation and ensuring optimal air circulation.
-
Electrical wiring : Connection was made via a discreet external box, complying with current electrical standards. The proximity to the panel reduced conduit length and optimized safety.
-
Protected refrigerant connections : all pipes were covered with white capping matching the brickwork of the house, ensuring a harmonious visual integration.
-
Condensate management : evacuation is carried out by gravity, avoiding the addition of a pump and thus reducing the risk of additional maintenance.
Technical challenges encountered and solutions provided
Height and access
With the outdoor unit positioned more than two meters above the ground, our team had to work with secure equipment (light scaffolding and stabilized ladders) to make the holes and secure the support.
Respect for aesthetics
The owner was keen to preserve the uniform appearance of the white brick facade, so our technicians used white covers, precisely installed to make the pipework virtually invisible.
Results for the client
Following this installation, the owner now benefits from:
-
A reliable, economical HVAC system adapted to the harsh climate of the North Shore.
-
Stable comfort all year round , with a quiet and efficient device.
-
A durable installation , designed to withstand bad weather and facilitate maintenance.
-
Increased real estate value , thanks to the discreet and professional integration of the equipment.

Connected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
A dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
Leak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.

And 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.
