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.

The job

A Story of Comfort and Efficiency: The Installation of the Gree FLEXX

AirGreen, a leader in HVAC solutions in Montreal and surrounding areas, is proud to present our recent project in Pierrefonds-Roxboro. The installation of the Gree FLEXX central heat pump highlights our commitment to providing high-performance heating and cooling solutions tailored to the unique needs of our clients.

Understanding the Gree FLEXX Central Heat Pump

The Gree FLEXX model stands out in the HVAC market for its exceptional functionality and adaptability. With a 3-ton capacity, this central heat pump system is designed to provide efficient and reliable heating down to -30°C and cooling up to 36,000 BTU. The unit’s external dimensions measure 37 inches in length, 18.13 inches in depth, and 32.25 inches in height, fitting seamlessly into the architecture of any home.

Key Features of the Gree FLEXX

  • Efficiency: With an 18.0 SEER rating and an 11.0 HSPF score, the Gree FLEXX offers economical operation without compromising performance.
  • Quiet Operation: With a sound pressure level of only 57 dB(A), it ensures a peaceful environment both inside and outside your home.
  • Durability and Warranty: This model comes with a substantial warranty package, offering 12 years on the compressor and parts, with an extended warranty option for full coverage.
  • Technology: Equipped with advanced features like optional WiFi, automatic fan speed control, and a self-diagnostic system, the Gree FLEXX provides an intelligent solution for your climate control needs.

Innovative Installation Process

Our team at AirGreen faced various challenges during the installation, turning them into opportunities to demonstrate our expertise and commitment to quality. The project site in Pierrefonds-Roxboro required strategic placement to ensure optimal operation and minimal aesthetic disruption. We used a specialized mounting bracket to secure the unit above ground level, protecting it from environmental elements and enhancing its efficiency.

Environmental Impact and Subsidies

The Gree FLEXX is not only a performance powerhouse but also an environmentally friendly choice. Although it does not carry the Energy Star® certification, its high SEER and HSPF ratings qualify it for substantial subsidies. This model is eligible for a LogisVert grant of $2,880 from Hydro-Québec, making it an attractive investment for environmentally conscious consumers.

Personalized Comfort

This installation was tailored to the specific needs of the homeowner, considering spatial requirements and aesthetic preferences. The optional WiFi functionality allows easy control and monitoring of the system, ensuring comfort is always at our clients’ fingertips.

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.
