A residential project optimized for comfort and energy efficiency
At AirGreen , we recently completed the installation of a Tosot wall-mounted heat pump in a modern apartment in the Laval-des-Rapides sector. This dynamic neighborhood, located near the metro and major highways, is home to many residential buildings where the search for comfort, performance and energy savings is a priority.
Project background
The client wanted to replace their old portable air conditioner, which had become noisy and energy-intensive, with a more durable, quieter, and versatile solution. Their goal was clear: to obtain a system capable of efficient cooling in the summer while providing reliable supplemental heating capacity during the off-seasons.
After analyzing the layout of the premises and energy needs, our team recommended a 12,000 BTU Tosot wall-mounted heat pump , perfectly suited to the size of the home and the climatic conditions of the Montreal metropolitan area.
Features of the Tosot heat pump
-
12,000 BTU capacity , ideal for an open concept condo or apartment type space.
-
Inverter technology , allowing precise adjustments of compressor speed and reduced energy consumption.
-
Energy Star certified energy efficiency , making the system eligible for Quebec grant programs for high-performance equipment.
-
Quiet operation , an essential asset for an urban environment like Laval-des-Rapides.
-
Multiple modes (heating, air conditioning, dehumidification, ventilation) for four-season comfort.
Installation Steps
Strategic positioning of the indoor unit
The wall-mounted unit was installed high up on a central wall, ensuring even air distribution throughout the living room and adjacent spaces. This location also avoids any interference with furniture or interior design.
Drilling and connection
A precise drilling was carried out to connect the indoor unit to the outdoor compressor. The refrigeration pipes and electrical cables were carefully insulated and protected by discreet white capping , ensuring aesthetic integration with the interior wall.
Condensate management
Thanks to the installation height, the condensation water is drained by gravity , avoiding the need for an additional pump. This simple and reliable configuration reduces maintenance costs and increases the durability of the system.
Installing the outdoor compressor
The compressor was mounted on a sturdy wall bracket at the rear of the building. This positioning protects the unit from the risks associated with snow accumulation in winter and makes it easier to maintain.
Technical challenges and solutions
-
Limited wall space : Our team chose a compact Tosot model, allowing for a perfectly integrated installation despite the limited configuration.
-
Restricted outdoor access : the use of a secure wall mount saved floor space and complied with the constraints of the urban environment.
Results and benefits for the client
As soon as it was switched on, the customer noticed an immediate improvement in interior comfort :
-
A stable and pleasant temperature in all main rooms.
-
A significant reduction in ambient noise compared to its previous system.
-
Optimized energy consumption, which will result in savings on your electricity bills.
Importance of Preventive Maintenance
We reminded the customer that to extend the lifespan and maintain the efficiency of their Tosot heat pump, annual maintenance is essential. This includes:
-
Cleaning filters and coils,
-
Checking the refrigerant charge,
-
Inspection of electrical connections and the condensate drainage system.
Regular maintenance not only ensures greater comfort, but also consistent and predictable energy consumption.
