A rooftop installation combining performance and discretion
At AirGreen , we recently installed a Zephyr wall-mounted heat pump in a residential building in Saint-Laurent , an area where indoor comfort and efficient outdoor space management are essential. This project perfectly illustrates how our teams manage to combine energy performance , visual discretion and technical compliance , even in restricted access contexts such as roof terraces.
Limited space, a suitable solution
The Zephyr compressor, installed on a raised platform , finds its place between two guardrails. This configuration is not insignificant:
-
It ensures optimal air circulation around the unit.
-
It avoids any direct contact with the surface of the flat roof, thus limiting vibrations and the risk of water stagnation.
-
It ensures increased safety during maintenance operations thanks to easy access from the terrace.
Our technicians carefully positioned the exterior unit to avoid any visual obstruction of the windows, while maintaining a safe distance from the walls according to the clearance standards of the manufacturer Zephyr .
A compact and silent system
The Zephyr wall-mounted heat pump chosen by the customer combines energy efficiency and acoustic discretion —two essential criteria in a dense residential environment. This model, designed for the Quebec climate , maintains its performance even in extreme cold, with stable operation down to −25°C .
The reverse cycle system allows for rapid heating in winter and consistent cooling in summer. In addition, its variable compressor (inverter) technology automatically adjusts power to maintain a constant temperature while reducing electricity consumption.
A compliant and sustainable installation
The technical details of this installation illustrate AirGreen's rigor:
-
Refrigeration piping protected by discreet covered wiring .
-
Electrical connections made according to the standards of the Quebec Building Code .
-
Use of a galvanized steel support , resistant to corrosion and thermal variations.
-
Gravity condensation management, adapted to the flat roof configuration.
Each step, from drilling to anchoring, has been validated to guarantee the watertightness of the roof and the durability of the system.
Why choose Zephyr?
The Zephyr brand is increasingly establishing itself in residential projects in Quebec thanks to its:
-
Low temperature performance , comparable to major Japanese brands;
-
Greener and more efficient R-32 systems ;
-
High-density filters that improve indoor air quality;
-
Extended warranty backed by AirGreen and authorized distributors.
In addition to offering excellent value for money, Zephyr is eligible for provincial grant programs such as LogisVert and Chauffez Vert , making this type of installation even more advantageous for homeowners.
AirGreen expertise, from diagnosis to completion
This project once again demonstrates the versatility and precision of our teams. From selecting the right equipment to final installation , each step was carried out with care. Our RBQ #5645-9605-01 certified technicians ensure that all installations comply with local requirements, safety distances, and the promised performance.
We pay particular attention to visual discretion , essential for condominiums and urban housing. The result: an efficient, silent, aesthetic system that is perfectly integrated into the building's architecture.
A sustainable and energy-efficient investment
By choosing a Zephyr heat pump installed by AirGreen, the customer benefits from a high energy efficiency system , trusted local service and professional monitoring throughout the life cycle of the device.
At AirGreen, we don't just install units: we optimize the comfort of each space based on the realities of the Quebec climate and the architectural features of each building.
