A flat roof installation with a controlled technical route
At AirGreen , we regularly complete complex projects in urban settings where every detail counts. This Panasonic wall-mounted heat pump installation in the Villeray neighborhood perfectly illustrates our expertise. The outdoor condenser was mounted on a raised aluminum and treated wood support to ensure optimal stability and prevent direct contact with the gravel on the flat roof. This choice of support is essential to protect the equipment from rainwater accumulation and snow in winter, while also facilitating maintenance.
The refrigeration and electrical connection was carefully sheathed and insulated along its entire length, passing through the roof to the wall outlet. This route, although elongated, was designed to combine energy efficiency and aesthetics, while complying with HVAC safety standards.
The advantages of a Panasonic wall-mounted heat pump
The Panasonic heat pump is renowned for its reliability and ability to provide four-season comfort in Montreal's climate. Thanks to its advanced technology, it provides:
-
Efficient heating even at -25°C , ideal for the harsh winters of Villeray and Greater Montreal.
-
Stable and quiet air conditioning during hot and humid summers.
-
Excellent energy efficiency (high SEER and HSPF) , allowing our customers to reduce their bills while enjoying constant comfort.
This model is generally eligible for provincial and federal grants , which helps to amortize the initial investment.
Challenges and technical solutions on this site
Length and route of the connections
One of the main challenges of this installation was the length of the refrigerant lines , which had to pass through a flat roof before reaching the wall outlet. To maintain the efficiency of the unit, our team:
-
Used reinforced insulation to limit energy losses.
-
Ensured a continuous slope for the condensate drain, allowing smooth gravity flow, without the need for an additional pump.
Fixing and security
The aluminum and wood support was anchored to withstand prevailing winds and extreme weather conditions . Particular care was taken to seal around the conduit passage to protect the integrity of the building.
