As part of a residential project in the heart of Ville-Marie , our AirGreen team completed the installation of aMidea wall-mounted heat pump , a perfect choice for condos and urban buildings in downtown Montreal. This type of environment presents specific challenges—limited space, noise management, exterior aesthetics, and winter performance—which this solution effectively addresses.
Type of system installed: residential wall-mounted heat pump
The system installed is a wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split) , an ideal configuration for homes without ventilation ducts. This type of unit provides both heating in winter and cooling in summer , while offering excellent energy efficiency and precise temperature control by zone.
Brand and model: Midea Midea28 (−30 °C)
The brand of the installed machine is Midea , a manufacturer recognized worldwide for the reliability of its residential HVAC systems.
For this project in Ville-Marie, we opted for a Midea28 wall-mounted heat pump , a model perfectly suited to the Quebec climate:
-
Next-generation R-454B technology
-
Guaranteed operation down to -30°C , ideal for Montreal winters
-
Excellent heating stability even in very cold weather
-
Compact, discreet and silent
This model is particularly popular in downtown condos where winter performance must go hand in hand with a minimal visual footprint.
Observable installation details and technical choices
The project photos clearly show an outdoor unit installed on a raised wooden structure , directly on the roof. This type of installation is very common in Ville-Marie and offers several advantages:
-
Raised platform to prevent the accumulation of snow and ice
-
Increased protection against moisture and frost
-
Reduction of vibrations transmitted to the building structure
-
Easy winter maintenance
Refrigeration lines are carefully insulated and routed cleanly and safely, with special attention paid to sealing and durability — a crucial point for installations exposed to the elements on urban rooftops.
A project designed for the urban context of Ville-Marie
Installing a wall-mounted heat pump in Ville-Marie requires a thorough understanding of the context:
-
High urban density
-
Access to rooftops is sometimes limited.
-
Condominium constraints
-
Importance of exterior aesthetics
At AirGreen, we adapt each installation to these realities. In this specific case, the Midea heat pump was positioned to optimize air circulation while remaining discreet, an essential element in downtown buildings.
Comfort, efficiency and energy savings
Thanks to the Midea28 wall-mounted heat pump, the occupants now benefit from:
-
Providing consistent thermal comfort all year round
-
A significant reduction in energy costs
-
A silent system, perfectly suited to a dense residential environment
-
Precise temperature control, room by room
This type of system represents a modern and sustainable solution for homes in Ville-Marie wishing to improve their comfort without major work.
