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.

  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.

A Seamless Upgrade in Laval: Introducing the Gree Flexx Electric Furnace

When it comes to home comfort, reliability and efficiency are key. At AirGreen, we understand the importance of both, and our latest installation in Laval is a testament to this commitment. Our customer's journey from an outdated heating system to a cutting-edge Gree Flexx Electric Furnace showcases not just an upgrade in technology but a leap towards sustainability and long-term satisfaction.

Why the Gree Flexx Was the Perfect Fit

With the desire to leverage the latest Hydro-Québec grants, they approached us to find a solution that would not only enhance their home's heating efficiency but also ensure robust support for years to come. Here's why the Gree Flexx stood out:

  • Incredible Warranty: Offering a 12-year warranty on parts and the compressor, this model promises peace of mind like no other.
  • Energy Efficiency: With up to 20 SEER and 10.5 HSPF, the Gree Flexx maximizes energy usage while minimizing costs.
  • Adaptability: The system adjusts seamlessly between 2 and 3 tons, making it versatile for varying home sizes and needs.
  • Advanced Features: From Eco Mode and powerful operation to automatic restarts after power failures, this furnace is equipped with functionalities that bring convenience and comfort right to your doorstep.

The Installation Process: Detail-Oriented and Professional

Our approach to the installation in Laval was thorough and meticulous, ensuring that every component functioned perfectly:

  1. Old System Evaluation: We started by evaluating the existing setup, ensuring the new unit could integrate smoothly.
  2. Reusing Existing Infrastructure: To minimize disruption and cost, we reused the old pipes and electrical wiring, which were still in excellent condition.
  3. Precise Location Changes: Although the furnace remained in the same location, adjustments were made to the heat pump's placement, improving the system's overall efficacy and aesthetic.
  4. Quality Checks: We conducted extensive tests on the old pipes for leaks and cleaned them thoroughly to prevent any future issues.

Customer Satisfaction and Beyond

The results spoke for themselves. Not only was the installation executed flawlessly, but our customer was also immensely satisfied with the outcome. Their feedback highlighted several benefits:

  • Enhanced Performance: The new system provided immediate improvements in heating efficiency and home comfort.
  • Financial Savings: The utilization of the Hydro-Québec grant, coupled with reduced energy bills due to the furnace's high efficiency, resulted in significant savings.
  • Peace of Mind: With the best warranty available and the assurance of a top-quality product, the customer felt secure in their investment.
  • Referrals and Recommendations: Satisfied with our service, the customer has since recommended AirGreen to friends and family, expanding our community of happy clients.

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 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.
  4. The indoor moduleElectric furnace or air handler, with its coil, connected to the supply and return ducts.
  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.
  8. Tests and start-upLeak test, vacuum, start-up, airflow check and a test of both modes.
  9. The walkthroughFilter, thermostat, backup heat in extreme cold: what to know before winter.
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 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.

    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.

    • Check the indoor module's filter.
    • Clear winter debris from the outdoor unit.
    • Test cooling before the heat arrives.
    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. 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.
