The tour

Take a tour of the installation

Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.

Generic diagram: wall-mounted heat pump, indoor and outdoor units

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.

  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 job

A Seamless Blend of Efficiency and Elegance

Choosing the Perfect Spot

When it comes to HVAC installations, location is everything. Our recent project in Pierrefonds-Roxboro, Montreal, was no exception. The homeowner had a clear vision: a Mini Split that would seamlessly integrate into their living space, providing optimal heating and cooling without being obtrusive. After considering multiple spots, we zeroed in on the perfect location where the Mini Split could directly blow into the living room. This strategic placement ensures that the entire floor benefits from consistent temperatures, creating a comfortable environment year-round.

Silence is Golden

Nobody likes a noisy HVAC system. That's why our customer's emphasis on a silent machine was paramount. The Tosot Lomo 23 Mini Split boasts an impressive interior sound pressure level of just 29/45 dB(A), ensuring that family movie nights or quiet evenings are never interrupted. It's the kind of silence that speaks volumes about its quality.

Power-packed Performance

Let's dive into the heart of this machine:

  • Cooling Capacity: A robust 12,000 BTU ensures that even on the hottest summer days, comfort is just a button press away.
  • Heating Capacity: Ready to brave temperatures as low as -25°C, this Mini Split is built for Montreal's chilly winters.
  • Efficiency: With a 22.0 SEER rating, it's not just about power but also how efficiently that power is used.
  • Warranty: A comprehensive 10-10-10 warranty (Compressor - Parts - Labor) stands as a testament to the machine's durability and our trust in its performance.

Sleek and Stylish

Beyond performance, the Tosot Lomo 23 is a marvel of design:

  • Dimensions: The interior unit, with dimensions of 33.4 x 8.2 x 11.4, is sleek and unobtrusive, while the exterior unit, measuring 33.4 x 12.6 x 23.6, is compact and easy to accommodate.
  • Energy Star® Certification: An affirmation of its energy efficiency.
  • AHRI Number: 9108746, a mark of its quality and performance standards.

Grants and Savings

One of the highlights of this installation was the availability of substantial grants. The model qualifies for a Federal Grant of up to $5,000. Additionally, a Provincial Grant of $385 further sweetened the deal. Quality, performance, and savings? It's a trifecta that's hard to beat!

A Job Well Done

Our commitment to excellence isn't just about the products we offer but also how we install them. For this project, our team went above and beyond to ensure a clean installation. No visible holes, no unsightly wires, just a sleek Mini Split that looks like it was always meant to be there. Our customer's delight at the end of the project was the cherry on top of a job well done.

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.

    Through the seasons

    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.
    At your place

    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.

    0 / 6 checked
    True or false

    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.

    2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.

    3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.

    4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.

    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.
