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.
A Seamless Transition to Comfort and Efficiency
A Story of Transformation
In the serene neighborhood of Bois-des-Filions on the North Shore, a tale of comfort and efficiency unfolded as we, AirGreen, embarked on a straightforward yet significant installation project. Our journey began with a call from a customer, whose trusty old air conditioner breathed its last, leaving a void that needed immediate filling.
The Old Guardian’s Farewell
The previous machine, though once vibrant and reliable, had succumbed to the relentless tide of time. With a broken part that was impossible to replace due to its antiquity, the old guardian of coolness and comfort was beyond repair. In these moments, charging our customer without providing a solution was out of the question. Thus, a proposal was placed on the table: a transition to something new, efficient, and extraordinarily reliable.
Introducing the Gree Vita: A Symphony of Excellence
- Silent Operation: With an indoor noise level ranging between 27 to 47 dB(A) and an outdoor noise level of 52 dB(A), the Gree Vita ensures a tranquil environment, allowing you to enjoy undisturbed peace and relaxation.
- Powerful Cooling Capacity: Boasting a robust 12,000 BTU cooling capacity, this machine is a powerhouse that guarantees a cool and comfortable space, even during the hottest summer days.
- Sleek Dimensions: With interior dimensions of 32.88 x 7.88 x 10.81 and exterior dimensions of 28.81 x 12.97 x 21.84, the Gree Vita is compact and aesthetically pleasing, seamlessly blending with your home’s decor.

- Warranty and Support: The Gree Vita comes with a 10-year warranty on the compressor and parts, with additional warranty options available, underscoring our commitment to your long-term satisfaction.
A Smooth Installation Journey
Our installation process was as smooth as the operation of the Gree Vita itself. Given that the new unit utilized the same 1/4 - 3/8 pipes as the old machine, there was no need for invasive wall work. A meticulous inspection and cleaning of the existing pipes were all that was required, paving the way for a swift and clean installation that left our customer beaming with satisfaction.

And at your place?
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.
