Bringing Comfort to Saint-Léonard: A Tale of Innovation and Satisfaction
In the heart of Saint-Léonard, Montreal, a bustling urban neighborhood where every inch of space matters, AirGreen has successfully completed an installation that has left yet another customer thoroughly satisfied. This installation was not just about adding an air conditioning system; it was about enhancing lifestyle, preserving space, and delivering unparalleled comfort through the Windair Series 17, a wall-mounted air conditioner known for its compact efficiency and silent operation.
Challenge Accepted: Maximizing Space and Comfort
The challenge was unique: install a high-capacity 18,000 BTU air conditioner in a home where the backyard patio is a prime entertaining space. The solution? A strategic installation that mounted the unit high on the wall, preserving every square inch of patio space for summer barbecues and social gatherings. This approach not only met the spatial requirements but also highlighted our commitment to customer-centric solutions.
Technical Brilliance: The Windair Series 17
The Windair Series 17 stands out with its cutting-edge features:
- Efficiency Rating: Boasting a 16.0 SEER efficiency, this model is designed to provide optimal cooling while keeping energy consumption in check.
- Silent Operation: With an interior sound pressure level of just 35 dB at low setting, it's whisper-quiet, ensuring no disruption to indoor activities.
- Robust Warranty: The unit comes with a comprehensive 10-year warranty on both parts and labor, reflecting its reliability and our trust in its long-term performance.
- Advanced Technology: Featuring an INVERTER compressor for variable speed control, it adjusts cooling output to suit conditions, enhancing efficiency and comfort.
Aesthetic and Functional Installation
AirGreen's installation team took extra care to ensure that the visual impact of the outdoor unit was minimal. The strategic placement high on the wall not only conserved space but also maintained the aesthetic appeal of the property. The indoor unit's sleek design complements modern interiors, making it a stylish addition to the home.

The job tools
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.
How the job unfolds
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 we check on a job like this one
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.
Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.
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.
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.
Good habits, once the unit is in place
Six simple habits that keep the unit going. Your list stays on this device.
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.
The right pages, at the right time
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.
