An installation project that combines comfort and aesthetics in a typical Montreal building
As part of a residential project located in Plateau-Mont-Royal , our AirGreen teams recently installed a Tosot wall-mounted heat pump in a charming condo. The red brick building, typical of the neighborhood, presented space and aesthetic preservation constraints that we were able to address with precision and efficiency.
This new wall unit enhances the interior comfort of occupants by offering them an energy-efficient heating and air conditioning solution perfectly adapted to Montreal's climatic variations.
Project background
The client, the owner of a condo located on a quiet street in the Plateau, wanted to replace a heating system based exclusively on hot water radiators with a more modern and economical solution. The objectives were clear:
-
Ensure four-season comfort , especially during summer heatwaves and extreme winter cold.
-
Reduce energy consumption with an approved system eligible for grant programs.
-
Install a discreet device, in harmony with the interior architecture and woodwork of the home.
Technical details of the installed device
The unit chosen is a Tosot residential range wall-mounted heat pump , known for:
-
A capacity of 12,000 BTUs , ideal for air conditioning or heating a medium-sized condo space.
-
High seasonal efficiency ( SEER greater than 20 , HSPF2 adapted to the Quebec climate ).
-
Reliable performance down to -25°C , an essential criterion for eligibility for subsidy programs such as LogisVert or Greener Homes .
-
Quiet operation, guaranteeing the peace and quiet sought by occupants.
Installation process
Our specialized technicians carried out the installation in compliance with all HVAC industry standards:
-
Optimal positioning : the indoor unit was fixed above the large living room windows, allowing for even air diffusion.
-
Discreet through-hole behind the device, to limit the visual impact.
-
Refrigeration and electrical conduits concealed with exterior capping adapted to the brick facade.
-
Gravity drainage of condensates, thus avoiding the addition of a pump and reducing the risk of additional maintenance.
-
Checking pressures, vacuum and leak tightness before commissioning.
Constraints and solutions provided
The early 20th-century building featured massive interior woodwork and space heaters that are still in place. To preserve the architectural character:
-
The unit was installed without altering the existing wood moldings .
-
The intervention was planned in coordination with the owner to minimize dust and protect the finishes.
-
The exterior passage was built on a secondary wall that was not very visible , in order to comply with the co-ownership regulations on the aesthetics of the facades.
Immediate results and benefits
As soon as it was switched on, the customer was able to see:
-
Immediate freshness in the condo despite a humid summer day.
-
A minimal noise level , perfectly suited to an urban residential environment.
-
The prospect of reducing heating costs during the winter thanks to the high energy efficiency of the heat pump.
