In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.

  1. 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.

  2. The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.

  3. Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.

  4. A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.

  5. The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.

  6. On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.

  7. The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.

A Cool Solution: The Seamless Upgrade to Gree Vita

In the heart of Laval, a recent AirGreen project highlights not just the efficiency and elegance of modern air conditioning solutions but underscores our commitment to customer satisfaction and technical excellence. This account details the installation of a Gree Vita Wall-Mounted Air Conditioner, showcasing why AirGreen is the preferred HVAC partner in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore.

Understanding the Customer's Need

The essence of our recent project was not just about replacing an old cooling unit with a new one; it was about understanding and fulfilling the customer's specific needs. The homeowner, keen on maintaining a comfortable indoor climate without overhauling their existing central heating system, sought an effective cooling solution. The choice fell on the Gree Vita model, a testament to its efficiency, reliability, and silent operation.

Why Gree Vita?

  • Efficiency and Eco-friendliness: With a 17.5 SEER rating, the Gree Vita wall-mounted air conditioner stands out for its energy efficiency, translating to lower electricity bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
  • Silent Operation: The indoor unit's noise level ranges between 27 to 47 dB(A), ensuring a quiet, undisturbed environment.
  • Connectivity: WiFi inclusion means convenience at the fingertips, allowing temperature adjustments from anywhere through a smartphone.
  • Durability: The Gree Vita comes with an impressive 10-year warranty for the compressor and parts, with an optional 10-10-10 extended warranty, underscoring its durability and the manufacturer's confidence in its product.

The Installation Process: A Story of Precision and Satisfaction

Our installation process in Laval was characterized by meticulous planning and execution. The Gree Vita air conditioner's installation was a straightforward replacement of an outdated unit, but it highlighted our technical team's expertise and attention to detail.

  • Site Assessment: Even for a seemingly simple replacement job, our technicians conducted a thorough assessment to ensure compatibility and optimal placement.
  • Reuse and Recycle: A highlight of this project was our ability to reuse the existing pipes and electrical wiring, a testament to our commitment to eco-friendliness and cost-efficiency.
  • Attention to Detail: Checking the pipes for holes and cleaning them may seem like a minor detail, but it exemplifies our thorough approach to ensure the longevity and efficiency of the installation.
  • Customer Education: Beyond the installation, we took the time to familiarize the homeowner with the unit's features, ensuring they could make the most out of their new air conditioner.

The steps

How it goes, from the first call to the end

The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.

Step 1 of 9The on-site estimate

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.

  1. The on-site estimateWe look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
  2. The quoteModel, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
  3. Getting readyFloors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
  4. The wall openingA single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
  5. The outdoor unitSet on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
  6. Lines, cable and drainConnected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
  7. The electrical workA dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
  8. Tests and start-upLeak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
  9. The walkthroughRemote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.
Your numbers

And at your place?

Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.

Size checkYour baseboards, in BTU/h
–BTU/h of installed electric heat

    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.

    Through the seasons

    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.

    Frequently asked questions

    What people ask us about this kind of work

    12 questions
    Does a wall-mounted heat pump heat in winter?
    Yes, it heats and cools. Its capacity drops in very cold weather; the operating range depends on the model and is listed on its spec sheet.
    Wall-mounted or multi-zone: how do I choose?
    One wall head and one condenser outside: the direct solution for a room or an open area. For two to five rooms, a multi-zone puts one head in each room on a single condenser.
    Where does the outdoor unit go?
    Where it stays above the snow, clear and accessible, away from walkways. We decide it with you during the estimate.
    Are there grants?
    Depending on the model and your situation, assistance programs may apply, including Hydro-Québec's LogisVert. AirGreen checks the model number before quoting an amount. See the grants.
    Do I need a permit?
    Rules vary from city to city: location, distances, noise. See permits and by-laws, and we check for your address.
    How cold can it heat?
    It depends on the model. According to Hydro-Québec, newer models work down to a temperature between −15 °C and −25 °C, and some cold-climate models are certified lower. The minimum temperature is on each unit's spec sheet.
    How much can I save?
    Hydro-Québec says a heat pump can be up to three times more efficient than baseboards for heating in the colder months. The result depends on the house, the climate and how it is used.
    How is the LogisVert assistance calculated?
    For ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified heat pumps, Hydro-Québec lists assistance of $120 per 1,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at −8 °C. AirGreen checks the exact model before quoting an amount; only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted. See the grants.
    Is it noisy?
    The sound level depends on the model and is listed in decibels on each unit's spec sheet. Location matters too: when possible, we avoid putting the outdoor unit under a bedroom window.
    The outdoor unit is covered in ice: is that normal?
    Some frost is: the unit runs defrost cycles. Never hit the ice. If the unit stays iced up or stops heating, call us.
    Does AirGreen hold the required licences?
    Yes. AirGreen holds RBQ licence 5645-9605-01, subclasses 15.8 Ventilation, 15.10 Refrigeration and 16 Electricity.
    Is the estimate free?
    Yes. The on-site estimate is free and the quote follows within 24 hours. Book my free estimate.
