An energy efficiency project adapted to the reality of a Montreal family
At AirGreen , every wall-mounted heat pump installation project is an opportunity to transform the comfort of a home while reducing energy consumption. In this home located in Saint-Laurent , Montreal, our team installed a Sumar unit, chosen for its ease of use and its ability to meet the needs of a family seeking a balance between performance and budget.
Why choose a Sumar wall-mounted heat pump?
The Sumar brand offers units suitable for residential homes, with good air conditioning performance and decent efficiency for supplemental heating. Although this brand is less widespread than other major players in the market (such as Fujitsu, Gree, or Sharp), it offers an affordable solution for homeowners looking to replace an old wall-mounted air conditioner with a two-in-one system.
-
Capacity : A 12,000 BTU model was chosen, ideal for effectively covering the living room and adjacent areas.
-
Reversible mode : integrated heating and air conditioning, allowing four-season use.
-
Simple controls : digital display on the front and intuitive remote control for everyday comfort.
Technical features of the installation
-
Indoor location : The unit was installed on the living room wall, at a strategic height to promote optimal air circulation without creating direct draft zones.
-
Preparation of the site : a light cleaning of the wall was necessary, with repair of the marks left by an old device.
-
Drilling and ducts : A through-drill was made to pass through the refrigeration ducts and the condensate drain. The exterior outlets were protected with discreet capping to ensure watertightness and aesthetics.
-
Outdoor condenser : installed in the backyard, on a stable slab, it remains easily accessible for HVAC maintenance.
-
Condensate management : evacuation is by gravity, reducing the risks of maintenance and breakdown.
Challenges encountered and solutions applied
The installation presented two main constraints:
-
Thick load-bearing wall : the drilling required specialized equipment in order to respect the structure without damaging the interior finishes.
-
Airflow optimization : The client's initial preferred position would have directed air directly into the dining area. We proposed a slight offset, ensuring consistent comfort throughout the room.
Immediate benefits for the customer
-
Increased comfort : efficient air conditioning in summer and efficient supplementary heating in spring and fall.
-
Energy efficiency : reduced consumption compared to a standard wall-mounted air conditioner, thanks to heat pump mode.
-
Versatility : a single device performs two functions, freeing up space and simplifying home energy management.
-
Easy maintenance : With accessible installation and protected ducts, HVAC maintenance will be quick and easy during maintenance visits.
