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 Breath of Fresh Air: How a Simple Installation Transformed a Saint-Eustache Living Room
When the summer heat waves hit Saint-Eustache, one resident found the perfect solution in the sleek and powerful Windair 17 wall-mounted air conditioner. With an impressive 12,000 BTU cooling capacity and the ability to operate at whisper-quiet levels, this installation by AirGreen wasn't just about beating the heat—it was about transforming a living space into a sanctuary of comfort.
The Challenge: Compact and Quiet Cooling

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.
