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 Breeze of Fresh Air: How AirGreen Enhanced Comfort in Deux-Montagnes

Understanding the Heart of the Installation

Last week, AirGreen, your trusted HVAC specialist, completed a seamless installation of the GREE FLEXX Central Heat Pump in a charming Deux-Montagnes residence on the North Shore. This project was not just about replacing an outdated system; it was about elevating home comfort with a touch of modern technology and efficiency.

The GREE FLEXX Central Heat Pump: A Closer Look

The GREE FLEXX model stands out due to its exceptional features that set it apart in the HVAC market:

  • Efficiency Ratings: With an 18.0 SEER, 11.0 HSPF, and 10.0 EER, the FLEXX model is designed to provide maximum energy efficiency.
  • Warranty: A robust 12-year warranty covers both parts and the compressor, highlighting the manufacturer's confidence in its product.
  • Sound Pressure Level: At just 57 dB(A), it operates quieter than many conversations, ensuring a tranquil indoor environment.
  • Extended Warranty Options: Available 10-10-10 extended warranty provides additional peace of mind.
  • Eco-Friendly Technology: Utilizing R-410A gas, the FLEXX model is not only powerful but also environmentally responsible.

Installation Day: Simple, Swift, Satisfactory

Our team at AirGreen prides itself on making installations as straightforward as possible for our clients. For this Deux-Montagnes home, the process was notably smooth. We carefully disconnected the outdated heating and cooling system and replaced it with the sleek GREE FLEXX unit. Our approach was methodical, ensuring no additional holes were drilled, and the existing setup was fully utilized to avoid unnecessary modifications.

Going Above and Beyond

After installing the new system, our technicians took extra steps to ensure everything was in perfect order:

  • Leak Testing: We conducted thorough leak tests to guarantee the integrity of the system.
  • Pipe Maintenance: Existing pipes were meticulously checked for leaks and cleaned, removing any build-up that could impact efficiency and performance.
  • Customer Education: We took the time to explain the new system's features and maintenance tips to the homeowner, ensuring they felt confident managing their upgraded HVAC system.

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.
