  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.

Experience Comfort and Efficiency with the Latest HVAC Technology

Why Choose Gree Flexx for Your Home?

The HVAC industry is continually evolving, presenting more efficient and sustainable solutions to heating and cooling needs. Among these innovative offerings, the Gree Flexx Electric Furnace stands out, especially when installed by a trusted name like AirGreen. Recently, a homeowner in Longueuil decided to upgrade their heating system, and the results were nothing short of impressive.

Project Overview: A Seamless Upgrade in Longueuil

The installation took place in Longueuil, a vibrant community that values modern living and eco-friendly choices. The homeowner, frustrated by frequent breakdowns of an old furnace, was eager to leverage the Hydro-Québec LogisVert Grant. This grant offers substantial savings, making it an opportune time to enhance home comfort systems with more reliable and energy-efficient solutions.

Choosing the Right Model: Gree Flexx Electric Furnace

When it comes to selecting a furnace, several factors come into play, but the Gree Flexx model ticks all the boxes for homeowners looking for efficiency, compact design, and longevity:

  • Efficiency and Performance: With a 3 Ton capacity, the Gree Flexx provides a cooling capacity of 36,000 BTU, along with an impressive 20 SEER energy efficiency. It ensures significant energy savings while maintaining optimal home comfort.
  • Compact and Quiet Operation: The unit's dimensions (21.25 x 48.25 x 21.25 inches) make it an ideal fit for small spaces, such as closets, ensuring it doesn't intrude into living areas. Furthermore, its exterior sound pressure levels are as low as 45 dB(A), making it one of the quietest in the market.
  • Advanced Features for Enhanced Comfort: This model boasts a plethora of advanced features including:
    • Eco Mode and Powerful Operation Mode
    • Illuminated Wireless Remote Control
    • Automatic Changeover (heat pump only), ensuring seamless transition between heating and cooling
    • Auto-Fan Speed Control, Automatic Restart after power failures, and a Timer Function with optional Wi-Fi control

Installation Highlights: A Testimony to Quality Service

AirGreen's approach to installation is meticulous, ensuring every aspect of the setup is perfect. For this installation, reusing the existing pipes and electrical wiring not only saved costs but also reduced the environmental impact. The AirGreen team conducted thorough checks for leaks and cleaned the old pipes to ensure they were free of any contaminants, affirming our commitment to quality and detail.

Client Satisfaction: A Core Measure of Success

The homeowner was particularly impressed with the thoroughness of the installation process and the professional service provided by AirGreen. The peace of mind provided by the 12-year warranty on parts and compressor directly from Gree was a significant factor in their satisfaction. The fact that this model could meet the dual needs of being compact and yet powerful made the Gree Flexx an unrivaled choice for their home’s specific requirements.

Economic and Environmental Benefits

The decision to upgrade to the Gree Flexx was also economically advantageous. With the Hydro-Québec LogisVert Grant, the homeowner saved $2,880, substantially offsetting the initial cost of the system. This, combined with the long-term savings on energy bills due to the unit's high efficiency, illustrates the dual benefits of this installation — both financial and environmental.

The steps

How it goes, from the first call to the end

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

And 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.

    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.
