Reviving Comfort: A Fresh Breath for an Old System
An Overview of Our Latest Project
In the serene suburb of Kirkland, Montreal, AirGreen has once again demonstrated its commitment to enhancing home comfort with a seamless air exchanger installation. Our recent project involved replacing a 20-year-old system that had served its time but finally succumbed to the wear and tear of continuous use. This installation not only exemplifies our expertise in modern HVAC solutions but also underscores our dedication to customer satisfaction and sustainable practices.
The Challenge: Out with the Old, In with the New
Our client approached us with a dilemma that many homeowners face: a broken air exchanger that was beyond repair. The main challenge was the age of the unit, which made finding replacement parts nearly impossible. After a thorough assessment, we advised our client that the most cost-effective and efficient solution would be a new installation. Here's how we addressed the situation:
- Assessment of the Existing System: We evaluated the old system to understand the extent of the damage and the feasibility of repairs.
- Client Consultation: Detailed discussions with the client to understand their needs and preferences.
- Decision Making: Considering the scarcity of parts and the potential costs of frequent repairs, a new installation was deemed the best approach.
The Solution: A Tailored Air Exchanger Installation
Choosing the right air exchanger was crucial. Our team selected a model that not only fits perfectly with the existing setup but also offers enhanced efficiency and reliability. Here’s what made this installation special:
- Custom Fit: The new unit was compatible with the old system's ductwork, which minimized installation time and disruption.
- Energy Efficiency: With advanced technology, the new air exchanger improves air quality more efficiently, reducing energy costs for our client.
- Client Education: We ensured that the client understood how to operate their new system to maximize its lifespan and performance.

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 filters and core as the manufacturer specifies.
- Check the outdoor hoods: nests, debris, dampers.
- Lower the speed if the outdoor air gets humid.
- Adjust the speed to the humidity in the house.
- Check that the drain flows.
- Keep the outdoor hoods clear.
- Clean the filters before the closed-house season.
- Check the exhaust damper.
- Book a full cleaning if the unit has not had one in a long time.
- Clear snow from both outdoor hoods.
- Raise the speed if condensation appears on windows.
- Let the unit run: with the house closed, humidity builds 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 an air exchanger, fresh air and stale air mix.
The two airflows cross in the core without mixing.
2. The two outdoor hoods must be kept apart.
Otherwise the exchanger pulls back the air it just removed.
3. An air exchanger can help with condensation on windows.
It renews the air and helps keep humidity in the right range.
4. An exchanger never needs maintenance.
Filters and core get dirty and need regular cleaning.
