A modernization of comfort in the heart of a Montreal living room
At AirGreen , we are regularly called upon to modernize air conditioning and heating equipment in Montreal residences where the existing systems are beginning to show signs of wear. This is exactly the case with this installation carried out in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie district, where we replaced an old wall-mounted air conditioner with a new generation Sharp wall-mounted heat pump .
The client's objective was clear: to benefit from a more efficient, more economical system better adapted to Montreal's harsh winters. The project perfectly illustrates the typical challenges of an HVAC installation in an urban home and the solutions our team implemented.
Choosing the Sharp heat pump
The Sharp brand is becoming increasingly popular in Greater Montreal thanks to its robust construction , ease of maintenance and high energy performance . The installed model, with a capacity of 12,000 BTUs , is ideal for a medium-sized living room like this client's. With optimized performance and energy efficiency that allows it to maintain comfort down to -25°C , this unit meets the requirements of provincial and federal grant programs, such as LogisVert or Maisons plus vertes .
Benefits for the customer:
-
4-season heating and cooling with a single unit.
-
Significant energy savings compared to a traditional air conditioner.
-
Increased comfort thanks to quiet operation (less than 24 dB in low mode).
-
Eligibility for grants offered in the metropolitan area.
Technical challenges and solutions provided
Replacing an old device
The existing installation featured a yellowed, energy-consuming wall-mounted unit. We proceeded to completely dismantle it, including the ecological recovery of refrigerants, in order to comply with current environmental standards.
Discreet integration
The living room, already equipped with high-end furniture and a recently painted wall, required careful installation . Our technicians carefully chose the route of the refrigeration pipes to limit drilling and ensure a clean finish. A discreet white capping was installed to harmonize with the wall color.
Condensate management
In this configuration, we have favored gravity flow , making it possible to avoid the addition of a condensate pump. This reduces the risk of breakdown and ensures simpler maintenance for the customer.
Fast, no-compromise installation
The entire project was completed in less than a day , including:
-
Removal and disposal of the old appliance.
-
Installation of the new interior wall head.
-
The passage of insulated and protected refrigerant lines.
-
Installing the outdoor compressor on a suitable wall bracket.
-
Leak tests, vacuum draw and full commissioning.
Before leaving, our technicians took the time to explain to the customer how the remote control works , the optimal heating/air conditioning modes , and good HVAC maintenance practices.
Comfort guaranteed for many years
With this new Sharp wall-mounted heat pump , the owner now benefits from a high-performance, reliable system with a 10-year parts and compressor warranty and 10-year labor warranty . We have also added this customer to our express priority list , guaranteeing rapid intervention when needed, even during the peak summer season.
This installation in Rosemont illustrates the value that AirGreen brings: professional service, quality equipment, and long-term support so that each customer enjoys optimal comfort, summer and winter.
