A neat installation on an urban balcony
In the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood, we recently completed aMidea wall-mounted heat pump installation, perfectly suited to the reality of Montreal plexes. The project illustrates our personalized approach: finding efficient and sustainable solutions in sometimes restricted spaces, while respecting the architecture and constraints of the premises.
Project background
The client lived in an apartment in a typical Montreal building with a steel rear balcony. His main concern was four-season comfort: efficient air conditioning during hot summers and economical supplemental heating during transition periods. Like many duplex and triplex owners in Rosemont, he also wanted a reliable -25°C system that would be eligible for Quebec's energy-saving grant programs.
Choice of equipment
We recommended a Midea wall-mounted heat pump from the Hyper Heat range , known for its performance in cold climates and its compatibility with grant programs. With a capacity of 12,000 BTUs , it was perfectly suited to the area to be served: a medium-sized home where the client wanted to optimize their comfort without exceeding their budget.
Among its assets:
-
High energy efficiency (SEER2 and HSPF2 higher than current standards).
-
Inverter technology for modulated, quieter and more economical operation.
-
High-performance compressor down to -25°C, guaranteeing stable heating even in harsh winters.
-
Full 10 year parts and compressor warranty, ensuring peace of mind.
Challenges encountered and solutions provided
The balcony installation presented some challenges:
-
Limited space : the compressor had to be installed on a metal platform without obstructing traffic or compromising safety.
-
Potential vibrations : risk of sound amplification due to the steel floor.
-
Drainage management : ensure gravity drainage of condensates even in winter.
Our technicians chose to install the outdoor unit on a raised aluminum support , resistant to corrosion and snow. Anti-vibration pads were added to reduce noise pollution. The refrigeration circuit was carefully insulated and covered in black, ensuring a discreet aesthetic and better protection against the elements.
Duct routing and finishing
The refrigeration connections and electrical wiring were routed directly through the rear wall of the home. All wiring was protected by rigid capping , ensuring a neat and durable finish. Everything complies with Montreal's HVAC installation standards, ensuring safety and performance.
Final result
The customer now benefits from a system:
-
Quiet , suitable for the dense neighborhood life of Rosemont.
-
Energy efficient , significantly reducing your electricity bill compared to electric baseboard heaters.
-
Comfortable all year round , thanks to the dual heating and air conditioning function.
Our team also supported the client in their LogisVert and Federal (Greener Homes) grant applications, maximizing their return on investment.
