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.

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.
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 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.
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.

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.
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.

Your own project, step by step
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.
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.
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.
