Quiet Comfort and Energy Efficiency: A Perfect Installation for Harsh Quebec Winters
At AirGreen, we take pride in offering high-quality HVAC solutions that combine energy efficiency, advanced technology, and robust durability. Our latest installation on the South Shore showcases the capabilities of the HAXXAIR T2D Mini Split Heat Pump. This compact yet powerful unit, with a cooling capacity of 12,000 BTU and a heating capacity down to -25°C, provides year-round comfort tailored to Quebec’s harsh winters and humid summers.
This installation highlights not only the exceptional performance of the HAXXAIR T2D but also our meticulous craftsmanship. Let us walk you through the details of this installation and why the HAXXAIR T2D is a top choice for South Shore residents.
The Installation Process: Seamless and Efficient
Our team of skilled technicians arrived at the cozy residence on the South Shore to install the state-of-the-art HAXXAIR T2D ductless heat pump. The sleek indoor unit, measuring 32.88 x 8.69 x 11 inches, was mounted discreetly above a doorway to optimize air distribution while blending seamlessly with the room’s aesthetics. The ultra-quiet mode, which operates at only 26 dB(A), ensures this unit is nearly inaudible, perfect for maintaining a tranquil indoor environment.
The outdoor condenser unit, with dimensions of 31.88 x 11 x 23 inches, was strategically positioned to prevent exposure to harsh elements. To ensure peak performance during winter, the unit is equipped with a built-in heating element in the condensation tray. This innovative feature prevents ice accumulation, ensuring smooth drainage even during snowstorms.
Why the HAXXAIR T2D Stands Out
Energy Efficiency
The HAXXAIR T2D Mini Split Heat Pump is engineered for efficiency, boasting an impressive 20.5 SEER rating. By leveraging 3D inverter technology, intergrooved tubing, and advanced fins, this unit reduces energy consumption by up to 30%, helping homeowners save significantly on their Hydro-Québec bills.
WiFi-Ready Smart Control
For those seeking modern convenience, the unit comes with optional WiFi control, allowing users to adjust settings remotely via a smartphone app. Whether you’re on your way home or managing energy use while away, this feature ensures maximum comfort and efficiency.
Silent Performance
Designed with acoustics in mind, the HAXXAIR T2D operates at whisper-quiet levels. Its optimized indoor air duct minimizes noise, making it ideal for bedrooms, offices, and living spaces where silence is golden.
Designed for Quebec Winters
Quebec winters can be unforgiving, but the HAXXAIR T2D thrives in extreme cold, maintaining heating capacity even at temperatures as low as -25°C. The special heating 8°C mode is perfect for chalets or secondary residences, preventing freezing temperatures from damaging your property during extended absences.

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.
