Take a tour of the installation
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.

Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.
The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.
Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.
The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.
On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.
The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.
Elevating Comfort and Efficiency with Precision Installation
When it comes to enhancing home comfort with advanced technology and eco-friendly solutions, AirGreen consistently delivers outstanding results. Our latest project in LaSalle, Montreal, showcases our commitment to excellence and precision in installing cutting-edge HVAC systems. This installation involved a high-performance Gree Free Match Extreme DoubleZone Heat Pump, which not only elevates the living space's comfort but also aligns perfectly with modern energy-efficiency standards.
A Strategic Installation to Maximize Comfort and Space
The installation site posed unique challenges that demanded strategic planning and expert execution. The main highlight was installing the 18,000 BTU compressor at an elevated position on the exterior wall. This strategic placement ensures that the unit operates efficiently without becoming a visual or physical obstruction for the residents. The dual 9,000 BTU interior units are discretely mounted inside, providing balanced temperature control across different rooms.
Key Features of the Gree Free Match Extreme
The Gree Free Match Extreme is more than just a heat pump; it's a testament to innovative engineering tailored for harsh climates and diverse living environments. Here are some of the standout features:
- Energy Efficiency: With a remarkable 23.0 SEER efficiency rating, this system is designed to reduce energy consumption significantly.
- Wi-Fi Capability: Integrated Wi-Fi allows for remote monitoring and control, adding a layer of convenience for the homeowners.
- Robust Build Quality: The exterior unit features a reinforced steel box with anti-corrosion coated fins, ensuring durability and longevity.
- Eco-Friendly Technology: Utilizing R-410A refrigerant, the system is not only powerful but also environmentally responsible.
- Silent Operation: Engineered to keep noise levels at a low 58.0 dB(A), ensuring minimal disturbance.
- Extreme Weather Compatibility: Capable of heating efficiently even at -35°C, making it a reliable choice for Canadian winters.
Overcoming Installation Challenges
The decision to mount the compressor high up on the wall required careful consideration of safety and functionality. Our skilled technicians, equipped with specialized tools and safety gear, executed this task flawlessly, ensuring that the unit was securely installed while maintaining aesthetic appeal. The installation also adheres to the stringent criteria set by Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert Program, qualifying the homeowner for a $2,040 grant, making it not only an environmentally sound choice but also a financially savvy one.
Extended Warranty and Customer Assurance
AirGreen stands firmly behind the quality of our installations and the reliability of the products we use. The Gree Free Match Extreme comes with an extensive warranty period that covers 10 years for the compressor, parts, and labor, reflecting our confidence in its enduring performance.

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.
We look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
Model, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
Floors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
A single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
Set on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
Connected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
A dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
Leak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
Remote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.

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.
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.

Your own project, step by step
What to do, season by season
Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.
- Clean the indoor unit's filters.
- Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
- Test cooling before the first hot days.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
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.
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.
During defrost cycles. That water must drain away without forming ice.
2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.
Windows, insulation, orientation and how the room is used all count. Capacity is chosen on site.
3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.
One head per room, all on the same condenser. Each room keeps its own temperature.
4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.
It must stay accessible: it is what shuts the unit off for service.
