In this bright condo in Montreal's Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighbourhood, the owners were eager to finally say goodbye to sweltering summers and uncomfortable winters. Their goal: a high-performance, quiet heating and cooling system, perfectly suited to Greater Montreal's climate.
We therefore recommended and installed a Midea wall-mounted heat pump , model Midea28 , a new generation solution ideal for this type of urban housing.
Context: optimizing comfort in a Rosemont condo
The apartment is typical of the area: relatively high ceilings, rooms arranged in a row, and light-colored interior walls. The old heating system, based on electric baseboard heaters, caused electricity bills to skyrocket in winter without providing any real comfort in summer.
The client's needs were clear:
-
Keep the living room and main living area comfortable all year round.
-
Reduce energy bills in the long term.
-
Install equipment that is discreet, quiet and blends well with the interior aesthetics.
-
Benefit from a reliable heat pump, capable of performing during the extreme cold typical of Montreal.
Why a Midea28 wall-mounted heat pump?
The Midea28 emerged as the logical choice for this project:
-
High-efficiency heat pump technology : a single unit for heating in winter and cooling in summer.
-
Next generation refrigerant (R-454B) : more environmentally friendly and compliant with new standards.
-
Cold climate performance : designed to maintain good heating capacity even at very low temperatures, suitable for Montreal winters.
-
Compact and stylish wall unit : perfect for a condo where every square meter counts.
-
Quiet operation : ideal for an open-plan space where you live, work and relax in the same room.
Our client also wanted to be able to easily control the temperature : the digital display on the front (as seen in the photo, set here to 60°F) and the intuitive remote control of the Midea heat pump perfectly meet this need.
Technical details and integration of the indoor unit
The photo clearly shows:
-
The Midea28 wall unit is installed high up, near the ceiling , in a strategic corner of the wall. This position allows for optimal air distribution in the room while freeing up floor space.
-
The adjustable horizontal louvers allow the airflow to be directed either towards the center of the room, or lower to avoid direct drafts on the occupants.
-
The refrigerant and electrical connections are concealed on the left side of the unit: the pipes and cables are carefully hidden behind a cover, ensuring a clean and professional finish.
-
A completely clear white wall under the unit allows for optimal air circulation and simplified maintenance (easy access for cleaning the filters).
We chose this area at the top of the wall because:
-
Hot air rises and cold air sinks: height provides a more homogeneous air mixture.
-
The corner position promotes air circulation in the open area.
-
This avoids obstacles such as furniture or light fixtures.
Installation constraint management
Even in a condo, installing a Midea wall-mounted heat pump requires rigorous planning.
Among the constraints to manage:
-
Respect for the existing structure : we carefully located the uprights and checked the integrity of the wall to securely fix the support for the indoor unit.
-
Discreet routing of connections to the outside : the refrigeration pipes, the communication line and the condensation drain are combined in a single duct, which passes through the wall to reach the outdoor unit installed on the balcony or on the facade (according to the condominium regulations).
-
Drainage management : the condensation drain is oriented to safely remove water without staining the facade or causing infiltration.
-
Compliance with condominium requirements : as is often the case in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, we validated the constraints of noise, compressor location and drilling of exterior walls.
Installation process with AirGreen
The installation took place in several key stages:
-
Technical visit and project validation
One of our experts visited the site to confirm the required capacity (BTU), choose the ideal position for the Midea wall head, and discuss pipe routing options with the client. -
Premises protection
Before starting the work, we protected the floors and work surfaces. The condo remained clean from start to finish. -
Drilling and installation of the indoor unit
We carefully drilled through the wall for the passage of the wiring harness (refrigerant, communication, drain), then fixed the mounting plate and the Midea28 wall unit. The unit was perfectly leveled to ensure proper drainage. -
Connection to the Midea outdoor unit
Outside, we installed the compressor on a suitable support (wall or slab, as appropriate), with anti-vibration pads to reduce noise and vibrations. -
Vacuum sealing, testing and startup
The refrigeration circuit was evacuated, then we performed pressure and leak tests before commissioning. We then checked the temperatures, airflow, and the operation of the different modes (heating, cooling, dehumidification). -
Explanation to the customer
As always, we took the time to show the customer how to use their new Midea28 heat pump : temperature settings, eco modes, minimal maintenance (cleaning the filters), and tips to maximize energy savings.
Results: Comfort, quiet and savings in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie
The difference was immediately apparent upon startup:
-
Immediate comfort : the room cooled down quickly in air conditioning mode and, in winter, the Midea28 provides gentle and constant heating, without sudden variations.
-
Potential reduction in electricity bills : by replacing part of the direct electric heating with a high-efficiency heat pump, the customer benefits from improved energy efficiency.
-
Remarkable silence : the Midea wall-mounted indoor unit operates at a very low noise level, ideal for a living room or home office space.
-
Aesthetic integration : the white, discreet device with clean lines blends perfectly into the minimalist decor of the condo.
