A Symphony of Efficiency and Comfort
A Flawless Installation in Dollard-des-Ormeaux
Nestled in the heart of the vibrant Dollard-des-Ormeaux community in Montreal, our latest installation project is a testament to AirGreen’s commitment to delivering unparalleled HVAC services. This project focused on installing a Tosot Apex Central Heat Pump, a marvel of modern engineering designed to provide optimal comfort while being exceptionally energy-efficient.
Tosot Apex: A Paragon of Performance
The Tosot Apex Central Heat Pump is a 2-ton unit with a heating capacity that remains steadfast even at -30°C. With a cooling capacity of 24,000 BTU and dimensions meticulously designed to fit perfectly into your space (37 x 18 x 32), this model is a compact powerhouse. The unit’s serial number, TU36-24WADU, and AHRI number, 205756439, are your gateways to exploring its unique specifications and efficiency ratings, including:
- SEER Efficiency of 18.0
- HSPF of 11.0
- EER of 10.0
These impressive figures are complemented by a 10-10-10 warranty (compressor-parts-labor), ensuring your investment is protected for years to come.
Quiet Operation, Powerful Results
Operating at an almost silent noise level of 52.0 dB(A), the Tosot Apex allows you to enjoy a peaceful environment while it tirelessly works to maintain your ideal indoor climate. The unit uses R-410A refrigerant and is connected by 3/8 - 3/4 pipes, ensuring smooth and environmentally friendly operation.
A Journey of Installation Mastery
Our client in Dollard-des-Ormeaux had the foresight to have all the ducts installed beforehand. However, the rooms whispered of airflow that was too weak, too subtle. Two rooms, in particular, were caught in a dance of elusive heating and cooling currents, requiring the intervention of our seasoned professionals.
With a canvas of ducts laid out before them, our team embarked on a quest not only to install the Tosot Apex but also to breathe life into rooms thirsty for balanced airflow. Through a symphony of creativity and technical know-how, solutions were woven into the tapestry of ducts, unraveling the threads of airflow inconsistency and creating corridors of comfort that now cradle the rooms in a gentle embrace.
Federal Grant Eligibility: A Financial Symphony
The Tosot Apex doesn’t just sing songs of efficiency and comfort; it also whispers tales of financial wisdom. This model is eligible for a Federal Grant of $5000, a melody dancing in the air, lightening the financial burden of investing in a future of comfort and sustainability.
A Tale of Two Rooms: Transformed
The rooms, once stifled, now breathe freely, basking in the glow of perfectly calibrated heating and cooling. The air, once stagnant, now gracefully waltzes through the space, carrying with it the promise of days filled with comfort and nights imbued with tranquility. Thanks to the installation of the Tosot Apex and the meticulous adjustment of the ducts, these rooms have been reborn, emerging as sanctuaries of comfort and efficiency.

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.
Filter, thermostat, backup heat in extreme cold: what to know before winter.

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.
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.
Good habits, once the unit is in place
Six simple habits that keep the unit going. Your list stays on this device.

- Keep registers and returns clear.
- Watch condensate drainage near the coil.
- Change or clean the filter.

The right pages, at the right time
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.
It connects to the existing ducts to heat and cool everywhere.
2. In extreme cold, electric backup heat can take over.
The indoor module (furnace or air handler) works with the heat pump and takes over in extreme cold.
3. The filter only gets changed when the unit breaks down.
A dirty filter cuts airflow. It gets checked regularly.
4. You can reuse the old unit's size without checking.
The house may have changed: insulation, windows, added rooms. Capacity is confirmed on site.
