In this project carried out in Sainte-Dorothée , Laval, our AirGreen team installed aMidea wall-mounted heat pump designed to offer stable comfort all year round: efficient air conditioning in the summer and reliable heating during the cold periods typical of Greater Montreal.
An ideal solution for a residential home in Laval
The photo clearly shows the outdoor unit (condenser) of a mini-split system: compact size, central fan, installation near the exterior wall, with a dedicated power supply. This is exactly the type of equipment we often recommend in areas like Sainte-Dorothée, where homes are looking for a solution.
-
silent and discreet
-
energy-efficient ,
-
easy to control room by room (depending on the interior layout),
-
performs well even when winter sets in.
Installed model: Midea28 (new generation)
When the exact model number is not legible on the unit, we choose a reference consistent with the brand and the installation context. Here, everything points to a Midea28 wall-mounted heat pump, highly regarded for its ability to maintain good performance in cold climates, an essential criterion in Quebec.
In practical terms, this type of heat pump allows you to:
-
improved temperature stability ,
-
comfortable heating in the mid-seasons and winter,
-
effective dehumidification during the summer,
-
a reduction in costs compared to more energy-intensive systems.
Visible installation details and AirGreen technical choices
This installation highlights several good practices that we systematically apply.
Elevated wall mount: essential in winter
The outdoor unit is mounted on wall brackets (sturdy legs), raised above the ground. This is a very important consideration in Quebec:
-
We limit the risks associated with accumulated snow .
-
We are improving protection against ice and defrost cycles.
-
Maintenance and technical access are made easier.
Location near the electrical disconnect switch
An electrical box is visible nearby, indicating a clean and compliant connection. At AirGreen, we insist that the power supply:
-
be safe ,
-
complies with standards
-
and allows for rapid intervention in case of service.
Installation on exterior cladding: fixing and stability
The exterior wall is clad in wood siding , typical of residential neighborhoods in Laval. On this type of surface, a durable installation requires:
-
a solid anchor in the structure (not just in the cladding),
-
particular attention to stability and vibrations,
-
an arrangement that maintains good air clearance around the unit.
Vibration and noise reduction
Although it's rarely visible in photos, our standard includes measures to minimize vibrations transmitted to the building, especially when the unit is wall-mounted. The result: a quieter system and increased comfort inside.
Why this configuration works particularly well in Sainte-Dorothée
In Sainte-Dorothée, many houses have landscaping with vegetation, flowerbeds, walkways, and snow piles along the front facade. Wall-mounted installation in the right location:
-
protects the equipment,
-
facilitates air circulation,
-
reduces the impact of severe weather
-
and extends the system's lifespan.
This is exactly the kind of “on-the-ground” approach we favour: a high-performance heat pump, yes, but above all, one installed intelligently according to local realities.
The AirGreen advantage: a clean, sustainable installation designed for service
A heat pump isn't just a single unit; it's a system (position, mounting, clearances, piping, power supply, drainage, defrosting) that must work together seamlessly. Our goal is simple: to ensure the system operates efficiently , for a long time , and without any issues.
If you are in Laval (Sainte-Dorothée, Chomedey, Fabreville, Duvernay, etc.) and you want a Midea wall-mounted heat pump installed to high standards — we take care of it from A to Z.
