Elevating Comfort and Efficiency: A Seamless Installation Journey in Pointe-Calumet
At AirGreen, we take pride in delivering top-tier HVAC solutions to the communities of Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, Rive Sud, and Rive Nord. Our recent installation of a GREE LIVO GEN4 mini split heat pump in Pointe-Calumet exemplifies the perfect blend of cutting-edge technology, energy efficiency, and professional craftsmanship.
This article dives into the details of this installation and why the GREE LIVO GEN4 is an outstanding choice for any homeowner looking to enhance their comfort while reducing energy costs.
Understanding the Client's Needs
The homeowner in Pointe-Calumet reached out to us seeking a solution that could provide year-round comfort, with reliable cooling in the summer and robust heating during the harsh Quebec winters. They needed a system that was compact, efficient, and environmentally conscious. After a thorough consultation, we recommended the GREE LIVO GEN4 heat pump—a system renowned for its 12,000 BTU cooling capacity, -25°C heating capability, and impressive 18.5 SEER energy efficiency rating.
Why the GREE LIVO GEN4 Stands Out
Key Features of the GREE LIVO GEN4
- Heating Capacity: Operates seamlessly even in temperatures as low as -25°C, making it perfect for Pointe-Calumet's winters.
- Cooling Capacity: With 12,000 BTU, it offers powerful and consistent cooling for summer comfort.
- Compact Design: Measuring 32.88 x 7.88 x 10.88 for the indoor unit and 28.81 x 13 x 21.88 for the outdoor unit, it integrates effortlessly into any space.
- Whisper-Quiet Operation: Produces just 27-47 dB(A) indoors and 52 dB(A) outdoors, ensuring a peaceful environment.
- WiFi Connectivity: Allows the homeowner to control the system remotely, offering unparalleled convenience.
- 12-Year Warranty: Covers both compressor and parts, providing peace of mind for years to come.
The Installation Process: Precision and Expertise
Step 1: Strategic Placement
Our team assessed the layout of the home to determine the optimal placement for both the indoor and outdoor units. The goal was to maximize airflow efficiency while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of the living space.
Step 2: Meticulous Mounting
The indoor unit was carefully mounted in the main living area, ensuring even distribution of conditioned air throughout the space. The sleek, minimalist design of the LIVO GEN4 complemented the room's decor beautifully.
Step 3: Connecting the System
Using high-quality 1/4 - 3/8 inch piping, we connected the indoor and outdoor units. This setup ensures efficient refrigerant flow and optimal system performance.
Step 4: Testing and Calibration
Before handing over the system to the client, we conducted rigorous testing. From verifying the WiFi functionality to ensuring the system maintained the desired temperature settings, no detail was overlooked.

The job tools
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.
How the job unfolds
The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.
We look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
Model, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
Floors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
A single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
Set on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
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.
Remote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.

What we check on a job like this one
Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.
In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.
Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.
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.
Is your home ready?
Check what applies at your place. A "no" is not a refusal: it is what we sort out during the estimate.
Good habits, once the unit is in place
Six simple habits that keep the unit going. Your list stays on this device.
What to do, season by season
Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.
- Clean the indoor unit's filters.
- Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
- Test cooling before the first hot days.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
The right pages, at the right time
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.
During defrost cycles. That water must drain away without forming ice.
2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.
Windows, insulation, orientation and how the room is used all count. Capacity is chosen on site.
3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.
One head per room, all on the same condenser. Each room keeps its own temperature.
4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.
It must stay accessible: it is what shuts the unit off for service.
