Dive into our latest HVAC triumph in Montreal—a tale of technical prowess, community collaboration, and a delighted customer, all thanks to the Gree Free Match Extreme.
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 with Innovative Technology
At AirGreen, we're not just about providing HVAC services; we're about enhancing the way you live and breathe. Our recent installation in Montreal of the Gree Free Match Extreme Double Zone Heat Pump showcases our commitment to delivering state-of-the-art solutions tailored to our customers' unique needs. This project was not just an installation; it was a testament to innovation, precision, and customer satisfaction.
The Challenge: A Unique Installation
Installing a double zone heat pump in a densely populated area comes with its own set of challenges. This particular project required us to install a 24,000 BTU compressor with two 12,000 BTU inside units in a Montreal home, demanding a perfect balance between technical proficiency and neighborly diplomacy. The complexity of placing the outside compressor on the roof, with the inside units two floors down, was a puzzle we were eager to solve.
Collaboration and Precision
The success of this installation lay in our ability to collaborate closely with our clients and their neighbors. Ensuring the outside compressor's location was in harmony with the inside units' placement required meticulous planning and open communication. This collaboration highlighted the importance of community in urban living spaces and how modern technology can be integrated seamlessly into existing structures.
Overcoming Installation Hurdles
Our team faced two major challenges: installing the first inside unit on an exterior wall, which was straightforward, and the second unit in the living room, which required strategic planning. Despite these hurdles, our experts executed the installation flawlessly, proving that no task is too daunting for AirGreen.

And 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.
