Improving comfort while respecting the aesthetics of a Montreal duplex
At AirGreen , we know that every wall-mounted heat pump installation project in Greater Montreal requires careful attention to the architectural context. In this specific case, it's a brick duplex located in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood, where our team installed a Tosot Inverter heat pump to meet the heating and cooling needs of a family looking for an energy-efficient and reliable solution.
Why the Tosot brand?
The Tosot brand, from the Gree group, is a strategic choice for many households in Montreal. It combines:
-
Inverter technology allowing substantial energy savings;
-
Stable operating capacity during temperature variations, ideal for Quebec winters;
-
Mechanical reliability recognized by HVAC technicians;
-
Excellent value for money for families who want to invest in comfort without breaking their budget.
Details of the installation carried out
The installation took place outside, on the brick rear facade. Several elements were taken into account:
-
Robust metal wall bracket , fixed directly to the masonry;
-
Condenser protected by a light canopy and positioned away from snow accumulations;
-
Insulated and hooded refrigeration connections with discreet capping, ensuring both aesthetics and durability;
-
Drainage provided by gravity , avoiding the addition of an unnecessary condensate pump;
-
Minimal drilling in the brick, carefully sealed to ensure watertightness and thermal insulation.
Constraints encountered and solutions implemented
The main challenge of this project was the limited space between the brick wall and the rear fence. Our technicians optimized the compressor angle and provided unobstructed ventilation to ensure maximum performance. Additionally, potential noise was controlled by carefully positioning the unit away from bedroom windows.
Performance and concrete benefits for the customer
Installing this Tosot Inverter wall-mounted heat pump brings several immediate benefits:
-
Four-season comfort : efficient heating down to -25°C, quiet air conditioning in summer;
-
Energy savings : significant reduction in electricity costs thanks to Inverter modulation;
-
Eligibility for subsidies : the family will be able to submit an application under provincial programs for energy transition (according to Energy Star criteria);
-
Long-term reliability : parts and compressor warranty, accompanied by AirGreen expertise for annual maintenance.
The importance of regular maintenance
Even with a high-performance appliance, HVAC maintenance remains essential. For this type of machine, we recommend:
-
Annual cleaning of coils and filters;
-
A check of the refrigerant charge;
-
Inspection of supports and electrical connections;
-
Prevention of ice deposits during winter.
Final result
Thanks to this installation, the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie family now enjoys constant thermal comfort in a typical Montreal brick home. The Tosot heat pump blends harmoniously into the environment, while offering an energy-efficient solution adapted to the harsh climate of Montreal and its surrounding areas .
