A Story of Comfort and Efficiency

When it comes to choosing an HVAC system, residents of Montréal and its surrounding areas such as Laval, Longueuil, and particularly the South Shore, have a myriad of options. However, the installation of a Gree Flexx Electric Furnace in Boucherville stands out as a testament to seamless efficiency and customer satisfaction. This detailed account not only showcases the top-notch service provided by AirGreen but also highlights the features and benefits of choosing the Gree Flexx model for your home heating solutions.

Understanding the Gree Flexx Electric Furnace

Before delving into the installation process, let's explore what makes the Gree Flexx an exceptional choice:

  • Size and Capacity: With a 3-ton size and a cooling capacity of 36,000 BTU, the Gree Flexx is designed to handle the demands of a typical family home efficiently.
  • Energy Efficiency: The system boasts up to 20 SEER and 10.5 HSPF, making it one of the most energy-efficient models on the market. This means lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
  • Advanced Features: The unit includes low ambient heating down to -30°C, an exterior sound pressure level as low as 45 dB(A), Eco Mode, and a powerful operation mode. Additionally, the Gree Flexx comes equipped with an illuminated wireless remote control, automatic changeover, auto-fan speed control, automatic restart after power failures, and optional Wi-Fi control via a smart thermostat.

The Installation Story: Beyond Just Technicalities

The recent installation in Boucherville was not just about replacing an old heating system; it was about upgrading a home's comfort and ensuring peace of mind for the homeowner. The client, tired of recurrent breakdowns every few years, sought a robust solution. The Gree Flexx, with its 12-year warranty on parts and compressor, offered just that.

Customer-Centric Approach

The decision to opt for the Gree Flexx was driven by several factors:

  • Longevity and Reliability: The comprehensive 12-year warranty is a testament to the durability and quality assurance provided by Gree.
  • Grant Eligibility: By choosing this model, the homeowner was able to take advantage of the LogisVert Grant from Hydro-Québec, amounting to $2,880, significantly offsetting the installation costs.
  • Customization to Fit Space: The compact design of the Gree Flexx made it an ideal fit for the limited space available for the furnace in the customer’s home.

Installation Excellence

AirGreen's installation team ensured that the existing infrastructure, such as pipes and electrical wires, was utilized efficiently. This not only saved costs but also minimized the environmental impact by reducing waste. The team meticulously checked the old pipes for leaks and thoroughly cleaned them to ensure that the new system would operate at its best without any hitches.

Satisfied Customer, Satisfied Service

The result? A thrilled customer who not only enjoyed a seamless installation process but also reaped the benefits of a state-of-the-art heating system. Feedback from the homeowner highlighted the quiet operation of the unit, its efficiency, and the peace of mind brought by the extended warranty and financial savings through the grant.

Your numbers

The job tools

Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.

Size checkYour electric furnace, 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.

    The steps

    How the job unfolds

    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 ducts, the current indoor module, the electrical panel and the planned spot for the outdoor unit.

    1. The on-site estimateWe look at the ducts, the current indoor module, the electrical panel and the planned spot for the outdoor unit.
    2. The quoteThe equipment combination, capacity and price, in writing. We check whether the combination qualifies for assistance programs.
    3. Getting readyAccess protected, old unit disconnected and removed when it is being replaced.

    5. The outdoor unitOn a level base, raised above the snow, with free space all around.
    6. The refrigerant linesInsulated, they enter through a sealed opening and run to the indoor coil.
    7. Electrical and thermostatDedicated circuits, accessible disconnect, a thermostat that works with the heat pump and the backup heat.

    The tour

    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.

    Generic diagram: central heat pump, indoor module and ducts

    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. It captures or rejects heat outside. It sits on a level base, above the snow, with free space all around.

    2. The insulated refrigerant lines enter the house through a sealed opening and run to the indoor coil.

    3. A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service.

    4. Sitting on the indoor module, it moves heat between the house air and the refrigerant.

    5. Electric furnace or air handler: its fan pushes air through the ducts. The electric backup takes over in extreme cold.

    6. Supply ducts bring air to the rooms; returns bring it back to the unit. Their condition matters as much as the unit's.

    7. It protects the coil and the fan. A dirty filter cuts airflow, so it gets checked regularly.

    8. It runs the heat pump and the backup heat. It must be compatible with the installed system.

    True or false

    Four statements: true or false?

    It all comes down to details you have just seen.

    1. A central heat pump uses the house's ducts.

    2. In extreme cold, electric backup heat can take over.

    3. The filter only gets changed when the unit breaks down.

    4. You can reuse the old unit's size without checking.

    Frequently asked questions

    What people ask us about this kind of work

    11 questions
    Can I keep my current ducts?
    Often, yes: the central heat pump connects to the existing ducts. We check their condition and size during the estimate.
    What happens in extreme cold?
    The indoor module (furnace or air handler) works with the central heat pump and takes over in extreme cold.
    Furnace, air handler, ducted: what is the difference?
    The furnace or air handler is the indoor module of the central system. A ducted system hides in the ceiling: all you see are small supply grilles.
    Are there grants?
    Depending on the equipment and your situation, assistance programs may apply. AirGreen checks the exact combination before quoting an amount. See the grants.
    Do I need a permit?
    Rules vary from city to city. See permits and by-laws, and we check for your address.
    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.
    Will my current thermostat work?
    Not always: the thermostat has to run the heat pump and the backup heat. We check compatibility during the estimate.
    Central or wall units: which one?
    If the house has ducts in good shape, a central system heats and cools every room at once. Without ducts, wall units or a multi-zone are often simpler. We compare on site.
    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.
