Bringing Warmth to Dorval: A Tale of Innovation and Satisfaction
In the heart of Dorval, a story of modernization and comfort unfolds as AirGreen, your trusted HVAC specialists, recently completed an exemplary installation of a Haxxair HAHD-24E2D electric furnace. This project not only showcases our commitment to delivering high-quality HVAC services across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore but also highlights our dedication to enhancing the living spaces of our clients with cutting-edge technology and efficient energy solutions.
The Challenge: A Compact Space with Big Aspirations
Our latest venture began with a simple yet challenging request: to replace an outdated heating system with a new, efficient electric furnace within the constraints of a very small closet in a Dorval residence. This task required precision, innovative thinking, and a deep understanding of our client's needs and the space's limitations.
Choosing the Right Equipment: The Haxxair Advantage
After careful consideration, the Haxxair HAHD-24E2D electric furnace emerged as the ideal candidate for this project. This machine's compact dimensions, silent operation, and powerful heating capabilities made it a perfect fit for the limited space available. Moreover, its energy efficiency and eligibility for the $5,000 Canada Greener Homes grant added immense value, making this installation not only a solution for today but an investment for the future.
Key Features of the Haxxair HAHD-24E2D:
- Heating Capacity: Efficient operation down to -30°C, ensuring comfort even in the harshest winter conditions.
- Cooling Capacity: A robust 24,000 BTU, providing ample cooling for those warm summer months.
- Silent Operation: Designed to operate quietly, ensuring peace and tranquility within the home.
- Warranty: An impressive 10-10-10 warranty on the compressor, parts, and labor, offering peace of mind for years to come.
- Energy Efficiency: Eligible for significant rebates, making it an eco-friendly and cost-effective choice.
The Installation Process: Precision and Professionalism
Adapting to the confined space, our expert team meticulously planned the installation to reuse existing pipes and electrical wires, minimizing the need for extensive renovation. The central heat pump found its new home on the roof, while the electric furnace was seamlessly integrated into the closet, a testament to our team's skill and attention to detail.
This project was not just about installing a new furnace but about transforming a limitation into an opportunity. By leveraging the compact and efficient design of the Haxxair HAHD-24E2D, we managed to enhance our client's home with a state-of-the-art heating solution that promises reliability, efficiency, and comfort.
A Satisfied Customer: The Ultimate Reward
The completion of this project brought immense satisfaction to our client. The new system not only fits perfectly in the available space but also offers significant improvements in energy efficiency, operational noise, and overall home comfort.

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.
How the job unfolds
The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.
We look at the ducts, the current indoor module, the electrical panel and the planned spot for the outdoor unit.
The equipment combination, capacity and price, in writing. We check whether the combination qualifies for assistance programs.
Access protected, old unit disconnected and removed when it is being replaced.
Electric furnace or air handler, with its coil, connected to the supply and return ducts.
On a level base, raised above the snow, with free space all around.
Insulated, they enter through a sealed opening and run to the indoor coil.
Dedicated circuits, accessible disconnect, a thermostat that works with the heat pump and the backup heat.
Leak test, vacuum, start-up, airflow check and a test of both modes.

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.
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.
It captures or rejects heat outside. It sits on a level base, above the snow, with free space all around.
The insulated refrigerant lines enter the house through a sealed opening and run to the indoor coil.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service.
Sitting on the indoor module, it moves heat between the house air and the refrigerant.
Electric furnace or air handler: its fan pushes air through the ducts. The electric backup takes over in extreme cold.
Supply ducts bring air to the rooms; returns bring it back to the unit. Their condition matters as much as the unit's.
It protects the coil and the fan. A dirty filter cuts airflow, so it gets checked regularly.
It runs the heat pump and the backup heat. It must be compatible with the installed system.
