In many residential buildings in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, the challenge is often the same: improving comfort in both summer and winter without cluttering the space, while respecting the aesthetics of the façade and the constraints of a balcony or entrance. For this project, we installed a Zephyr wall-mounted heat pump ( mini-split type) with particular attention to integration, noise, and durability—essential elements for an urban environment.
A typical condo project: maximum comfort, minimal space
Here, we're clearly in a "renovated condo/plex" context: brick facade, access near a door, metal railing, and an exterior area where every centimeter counts. The client wanted:
-
effective cooling during heat waves,
-
an efficient auxiliary heater for transitional periods (and a large part of the winter),
-
a clean , discreet, and vibration-free installation.
The chosen solution: a Zephyr wall-mounted heat pump , well-sized for a main area (open-plan living room/kitchen, for example), with a compact outdoor unit.
Type of machine installed: wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split)
Based on the visible configuration, this appears to be a classic residential wall-mounted installation:
-
An outdoor unit (condenser) installed in the immediate vicinity of the dwelling;
-
A refrigeration connection (piping) and communication/power cables that connect the outdoor unit to the indoor head (not visible in the photo).
This type of system is very popular in Montreal because it combines:
-
a quick response (the effect is felt within minutes),
-
superior energy efficiency compared to several direct electrical solutions,
-
comfort that can be adjusted room by room (depending on the configuration).
Brand: Zephyr (used as the primary reference)
The brand installed for this project is Zephyr . At AirGreen, we regularly meet customers who are looking for a good balance between performance , comfort and value — and Zephyr often fits very well into this logic, especially when it is installed according to best practices and with careful finishing details.
Model: not visible in the photo — consistent selection “Zephyr high efficiency”
The exact model number is not legible in the image. We therefore present this installation as a high-efficiency Zephyr wall-mounted heat pump (residential category), typically chosen in a capacity appropriate to the space (often 9,000 to 18,000 BTU depending on the configuration, insulation, and exposure).
What matters to the customer is not just the “name” of the model: it is above all the sizing , the quality of installation , and the technical details that ensure stable and durable performance.
Prominent installation details (visible in the photo)
This installation features several good technical choices, immediately apparent:
1) Outdoor unit on wall brackets, clear of the ground
The Zephyr unit is mounted on wall brackets rather than placed on the floor. This is a major advantage in Quebec:
-
better protection against snow, ice and standing water,
-
reduction of the risk of premature corrosion,
-
simpler maintenance (clearing, cleaning, inspection).
2) Smart positioning near the brick wall
Installing on a brick wall requires a rigorous method: solid anchoring, adherence to clearances, and vibration management. Here, the unit is positioned compactly , without obstructing access, while maintaining good air circulation.
3) Presence of a DiversiTech box
A DiversiTech box is visible on the wall — typically used as a protection/organization element (depending on the setup: electrical disconnection, component protection, or management accessory). This type of detail contributes to a cleaner , safer , and easier-to-maintain installation.
4) Visual cleanliness and “condo-friendly” integration
In Rosemont, the visual aspect is extremely important. Here, the unit is well aligned, the spacing is consistent, and the whole integrates naturally with the facade, without giving the impression of a rushed addition. That's exactly what we're aiming for: a durable, but also aesthetically pleasing, installation.
Our AirGreen approach: performance, silence, longevity
A wall-mounted heat pump reaches its full potential when installed with a comprehensive approach. For this type of project, we pay particular attention to:
-
Vibration reduction (supports, fixings, contact points, stability),
-
The routing of the connections (protection, sealing, clean finish),
-
Respecting air clearances (avoiding areas that stifle the unit),
-
The comfort strategy (orientation and placement of the inner head, balancing of the area).
The result: a quieter, more stable system that maintains its performance for longer.
Why a Zephyr wall-mounted heat pump is an excellent choice in Montreal
In a neighbourhood like Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, temperature fluctuations are significant, and heating needs change rapidly. A modern wall-mounted heat pump allows you to:
-
effective cooling when humidity rises,
-
comfortable heating during the shoulder seasons,
-
consumption is often better controlled thanks to intelligent modulation (variable speed technology depending on the configurations).
And above all: everyday comfort. We're not just talking about degrees Celsius, but about a more stable, less humid, and more pleasant home.
What the customer notices from the very first days
After this type of installation, the feedback is very often the same:
-
“The room becomes comfortable much faster.”
-
“The noise is really discreet.”
-
“You can feel that the air is more stable, less 'aggressive'.”
-
“It’s clean, it doesn’t spoil the exterior.”
That's exactly the goal: a result that is easy to live with and easy to maintain.
Conclusion: a compact, clean installation designed for our local climate
This installation of a Zephyr wall-mounted heat pump in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie perfectly illustrates what we do at AirGreen: a residential solution that is efficient and adapted to the realities of Greater Montreal , both technically and aesthetically.
If you are in a condo, a plex, or a neighbourhood house with similar constraints (limited space, façade to respect, need for silence), a properly installed Zephyr wall-mounted heat pump can be a particularly relevant option.
