Generic diagram: central heat pump, indoor module and ducts

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.

Revolutionizing Comfort: A Tale of Efficiency and Innovation

A Seamless Transition to Superior Comfort

In the picturesque locale of Deux-Montagnes on the North Shore, another customer has experienced the unparalleled HVAC services of AirGreen. This isn’t just a story of an installation; it’s a narrative of transition from discomfort to ultimate comfort, from inefficiency to peak performance, and from dissatisfaction to sheer delight.

Out with the Old, In with the APEX

Our customer found himself saddled with an obsolete central heat pump that was not only a visual eyesore but also a constant source of auditory annoyance due to its excessive noise levels. The decision to upgrade was inevitable, and the federal government’s generous grant of $5000 made it financially savvy as well.

Compact Powerhouse: The Tosot APEX

  • Size Matters: The Tosot APEX is a 3-ton compact marvel, designed to occupy minimal space while delivering maximum efficiency.
  • Quiet Operation: With a sound pressure level of just 55.0 dB(A), it whispers rather than roars, ensuring a tranquil environment.
  • Heating and Cooling Mastery: Whether it’s -30°C or a sweltering summer day, expect consistent comfort with its heating capacity functional at -30°C and cooling capacity at 36,000 BTU.
  • Energy Efficiency: With an 18.0 SEER, 11.0 HSPF, and 10.0 EER, it’s a paragon of energy efficiency.
  • Warranty: A reassuring 10-10-10 warranty coverage for compressor, parts, and labor respectively.

Invisible Comfort: Installation Under the Deck

In a stroke of genius and with a keen understanding of aesthetics and functionality, our team proposed installing the Tosot APEX under the customer’s wooden deck. This innovative approach not only preserved the visual integrity of the backyard but also made the unit virtually invisible and inaudible, much to the customer’s delight.

Customer’s Verdict: Thrilled and Referring

The joy of the customer knew no bounds as he not only reveled in the newfound comfort but also became an advocate for AirGreen, referring neighbors who subsequently chose our services for their HVAC needs.

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.
