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.
Exceptional Ease and Efficiency: A Recent AirGreen Triumph
A Closer Look at the Installation
Recently, our team at AirGreen carried out a seamless installation of the Gree Vita wall-mounted air conditioner in Montréal-Est, showcasing not just our commitment to excellence but also the remarkable capabilities of this 12,000 BTU powerhouse. This project exemplifies our dedication to providing straightforward, efficient HVAC solutions that cater to the unique needs of our clients.
Project Overview
The installation site was conveniently positioned with the indoor and outdoor units of the air conditioner about five feet apart. This proximity allowed for minimal structural alteration and a highly efficient setup. The electrical panel, located just 10 feet away from the outdoor unit, further streamlined the process, allowing us to utilize fewer materials than usual. This efficiency not only sped up the installation process but also enabled us to extend a substantial discount to our delighted customer.
Customer Satisfaction and Aesthetic Integration
One of the standout aspects of this installation was our ability to install all necessary piping and electrical wiring directly behind the indoor unit. This strategic placement meant that our customer did not need to undertake any additional finishing work, such as painting or patching, preserving the integrity and appearance of their living space. The customer praised the installation for its neatness and the professional demeanor of our team, highlighting the silent operation and efficiency of the Gree Vita unit.
Why the Gree Vita Stands Out
The Gree Vita model is equipped with cutting-edge features that set it apart from conventional air conditioners:
- Built-in WiFi Capability: Offers control at your fingertips through the GREE+ app, allowing adjustments to settings remotely, enhancing user convenience and comfort.
- Reduced Sound Emission: With indoor noise levels ranging between 27 and 47 dB(A) and an outdoor level at 52 dB(A), the Gree Vita ensures a quiet environment, crucial for both relaxation and concentration.
- Energy Efficiency: Sporting a 17.5 SEER rating, the unit operates with exceptional energy efficiency, leading to lower electricity bills without compromising on performance.
Innovative Technology and Robust Design
The Gree Vita utilizes G10 inverter technology, enabling precise airflow and temperature control, which optimizes the indoor climate efficiently across various outdoor conditions. Its design includes anti-corrosion coated fins and a robust steel cabinet, enhancing the unit’s durability and lifespan, even in adverse weather.

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.
Remote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.

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.
