  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.

The Art of Cooling: A Tailored Solution for Your Comfort

A Customized Approach to Air Conditioning

In the heart of Longueuil, a bustling city known for its vibrant community and diverse climate, AirGreen recently completed a stellar installation of a Gree Vita wall-mounted air conditioner. This project was not just about adding an air conditioning unit; it was about crafting a solution that fits perfectly into the life of a homeowner who values comfort, efficiency, and silence.

Understanding the Customer's Needs

The customer's requirement was unique: they sought to enhance their home's cooling without disrupting the existing central heating system. With a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of our client's needs, AirGreen proposed the Gree Vita 12,000 BTU wall-mounted air conditioner. This choice was not accidental but a result of thorough consideration of the client's lifestyle, the layout of their home, and the specific cooling needs of their space.

The Gree Vita: A Cut Above

The Gree Vita model is renowned for its efficiency and quiet operation, two features our customer prioritized. Here’s a closer look at why the Gree Vita was the perfect match:

  • Wi-Fi Connectivity: The Gree Vita comes equipped with Wi-Fi, allowing our customer to adjust settings conveniently from their smartphone.
  • Exceptional Efficiency: With a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating of 17.5, this unit is designed to cool your space more effectively, while using less energy.
  • Whisper-Quiet Operation: The indoor unit operates at a noise level as low as 27 dB(A), ensuring a serene atmosphere in your home.
  • Durability and Peace of Mind: The 10-year warranty on both the compressor and parts reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the product's reliability.

A Seamless Installation Experience

Rated with a medium difficulty of installation, the Gree Vita required expertise and precision to install. AirGreen's team of certified professionals tackled this challenge head-on, ensuring the unit was installed in the exact room desired by the customer. The process involved meticulous planning to integrate the unit seamlessly with the room's aesthetics, without compromising on the unit's performance or efficiency.

Beyond Cooling: The Added Benefits

Installing the Gree Vita air conditioner was about more than just beating the heat; it was about enhancing the homeowner's quality of life. The unit's silent operation means that our customer can enjoy cooler temperatures without the intrusive noise of traditional air conditioners. Furthermore, the Gree Vita's energy efficiency translates into significant savings on energy bills, making it a smart choice for the environmentally conscious consumer.

A Satisfied Customer: The Ultimate Reward

The project's success was measured not just by the technical installation but by the customer's satisfaction. Thrilled with the ability to bring targeted cooling to their desired room, our client appreciated the unit's aesthetic appeal, its silent operation, and the peace of mind provided by the extensive warranty.

The steps

The big day, step by step

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

What would it look like 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.

    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.
