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.

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.

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.
