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.

A Step Towards Sustainable Comfort

Discovering the Gree Flexx: A Blend of Efficiency and Innovation

Nestled in the serene community of Saint-Eustache on Montreal's North Shore, a recent installation by AirGreen not only exemplified our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction but also marked a significant step towards sustainable heating solutions. The project involved replacing an outdated furnace with the cutting-edge Gree Flexx Electric Furnace, a decision driven by both environmental incentives and the desire for technological advancement.

Why Choose the Gree Flexx?

The Gree Flexx is not just any electric furnace; it's a pinnacle of innovation tailored to modern needs. This 3-ton marvel offers an impressive 36,000 BTU cooling capacity, and its dimensions (21.25 x 48.25 x 21.25 inches) ensure it fits seamlessly into the existing infrastructure. Key features that make the Flexx an industry leader include:

  • Energy Efficiency: Rated up to 20 SEER and 10.5 HSPF, optimizing energy use and reducing costs.
  • Advanced Heating Technology: Capable of heating efficiently even when temperatures plummet to -30°C, ensuring comfort in the harshest winters.
  • Ultra-Quiet Operation: At just 45 dB(A), it's as quiet as a library, making it perfect for residential areas.
  • Eco and Powerful Modes: Adaptable performance to save energy or enhance comfort as needed.
  • Innovative Controls: Features like an illuminated wireless remote, automatic changeover, auto-fan speed control, and optional Wi-Fi thermostat integration for ease of use.

Installation Highlights: A Story of Precision and Customer-Centric Service

The installation process in Saint-Eustache was straightforward yet meticulous, focusing on longevity and reliability. Here’s how we ensured excellence:

  • Reuse and Recycle: We successfully repurposed the existing ductwork and electrical setups, which not only saved costs but also minimized environmental impact.
  • Leak Checks and Cleaning: No stone was left unturned in checking the old pipes for leaks and thoroughly cleaning them to ensure they were free from any contaminants.
  • Professional Execution: Our team’s attention to detail and cleanliness during the installation left a lasting impression on the homeowner.

Client Satisfaction and Environmental Benefits

The homeowner's choice to upgrade to the Gree Flexx was substantially rewarded. Not only did they benefit from a $2,880 LogisVert Grant from Hydro-Québec, but the transition also positioned them for greater energy savings and reduced carbon footprint. The long-term 12-year warranty on parts and compressor from Gree underscores reliability and customer trust.

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.
