The article, chapter by chapter
When these clients from Brossard contacted us, their goal was clear: to replace inefficient heating and cooling solutions with a modern, quiet, and economical system capable of providing true year-round comfort. We recommended the installation of a Gree Inverter R32 wall-mounted heat pump , perfectly suited to a single-family home on the South Shore.
The context of the project in Brossard
The property is a recently built house with red vinyl siding, typical of many residential neighborhoods in Brossard. The clients wanted:
-
A discreet system that does not detract from the facade;
-
A device capable of effectively cooling the ground floor in summer;
-
An efficient supplementary heating solution for mid-season and moderate cold weather;
-
A very low noise level, both inside and outside.
Taking into account the configuration of the house and the targeted energy consumption, our team recommended a Gree Inverter R32 wall-mounted heat pump of approximately 12,000 BTU , an ideal capacity for an open main living area (living room, dining room, kitchen).
The solution: a Gree Inverter R32 wall-mounted heat pump
The Gree brand is known for its reliable, efficient, and very quiet wall-mounted systems. The model installed here is a new-generation Gree Inverter R32 wall-mounted heat pump , which offers:
-
Inverter technology to continuously modulate power, reduce on/off cycles and optimize consumption;
-
R32 (A2L) refrigerant, more efficient and with a reduced global warming potential compared to R410A;
-
An excellent compromise between comfort, energy efficiency and budget;
-
Stable operation both in air conditioning mode in summer and in heating mode during the cooler temperatures of spring and autumn.
Inside, the wall-mounted unit was positioned in the center of the living area to maximize airflow and prevent hot or cold spots. The airflow is gentle and even, allowing you to quickly feel the difference without any unpleasant drafts.
An elevated outdoor installation designed for Quebec winters
The photo clearly shows the Gree outdoor unit installed against the house wall. Several technical choices were made to ensure the installation's durability and ease of maintenance:
-
Elevated aluminum support : the unit rests on a solid metal structure, itself fixed to concrete slabs. This elevation keeps the condenser a safe distance from the ground, protected from snow, ice, standing water and debris.
-
Stability and leveling : the concrete slabs have been adjusted to provide a flat and stable surface, preventing excessive vibration or twisting of the chassis.
-
Sufficient clearance around the unit : the unit is installed with the necessary space at the rear and on the sides to ensure good air circulation and facilitate maintenance interventions.
-
Protection of the coating : the fixings and conduit passages have been designed to preserve the integrity of the house's vinyl coating, limiting unnecessary drilling.
The refrigerant lines, power cable and condensation drain are grouped and protected in a discreet external cover, for a clean aesthetic and additional protection against the elements.
Four-season performance and comfort in Brossard
Thanks to this Gree Inverter R32 wall-mounted heat pump , customers now benefit from:
-
Effective air conditioning during the summer heat waves, even during the frequent heat waves in Greater Montreal;
-
Economical heating in the mid-season , allowing for reduced use of the main system and lower electricity bills;
-
It operates very quietly , both indoors and outdoors, an important advantage in dense residential areas;
-
Better humidity control improves the feeling of comfort and protects the home.
Inverter technology allows the heat pump to adjust its power according to actual demand. The result: fewer temperature fluctuations, optimized energy consumption, and a potentially longer lifespan thanks to gentler operation.
A safe and compliant installation
Our certified technicians carried out the installation in compliance with current standards and industry best practices:
-
Refrigeration connection with vacuuming and leak testing ;
-
Checking the electrical wiring and the dedicated circuit breaker;
-
Complete commissioning with performance measurements;
-
Detailed explanations to owners on the use of the remote control, operating modes and basic maintenance (cleaning filters, clearing the outdoor unit, etc.).
The R32 (A2L) label visible on the unit indicates that the system uses a modern, high-performance, and mildly flammable refrigerant. Our teams are trained to handle these refrigerants safely, in accordance with Code requirements and the manufacturer Gree's recommendations.

The job tools
Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.
Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.
How the job unfolds
The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.
We look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
Model, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
Floors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
A single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
Set on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
Connected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
A dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
Leak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
Remote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.

What we check on a job like this one
Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.
In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.
Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.
Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.
The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.
Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.
The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.
On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.
The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.
Is your home ready?
Check what applies at your place. A "no" is not a refusal: it is what we sort out during the estimate.
Good habits, once the unit is in place
Six simple habits that keep the unit going. Your list stays on this device.
What to do, season by season
Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.
- Clean the indoor unit's filters.
- Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
- Test cooling before the first hot days.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
The right pages, at the right time
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.
During defrost cycles. That water must drain away without forming ice.
2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.
Windows, insulation, orientation and how the room is used all count. Capacity is chosen on site.
3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.
One head per room, all on the same condenser. Each room keeps its own temperature.
4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.
It must stay accessible: it is what shuts the unit off for service.
