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.
Harnessing Efficiency and Aesthetics in HVAC Solutions
In the heart of Montréal-Nord, a picturesque suburb known for its vibrant community and beautiful landscapes, AirGreen has recently undertaken a sophisticated installation that not only enhances comfort but also integrates seamlessly into the aesthetic fabric of the area. Our latest project involved the installation of a high-performance Gree Free Match Extreme DoubleZone Heat Pump. This system, renowned for its efficiency and adaptability, was chosen to meet the unique needs of a local family home, aiming to provide both heating and cooling solutions that align with eco-friendly standards.
Project Overview and Technical Specifications
The Gree Free Match Extreme DoubleZone Heat Pump stands out with its impressive 18,000 BTU compressor capacity divided between two 9,000 BTU indoor units, ensuring optimal climate control across different zones in the home. This system not only boasts an Energy Star® certification but also features a high 23.0 SEER efficiency rating, making it one of the most energy-efficient models on the market today.
Key Features Include:
- Dual Zone Functionality: Allows for individual temperature control in different rooms, enhancing comfort and reducing energy consumption.
- Wi-Fi Capability: Provides convenience and control right from your smartphone.
- Eco-Responsible R410A Refrigerant: Less impact on the environment while maintaining maximum efficiency.
- Low Voltage Start-Up: Ensures a smoother operation and longevity of the unit.

Innovative Installation Techniques
The installation posed a unique challenge due to the need for discretion and aesthetic integration. The solution was a custom-designed capping crafted to conceal the connecting pipes and electrical wiring meticulously. This capping was tailored to blend with the existing exterior facade, ensuring that the functional elements of the heat pump did not detract from the home's visual appeal.
Customer-Centric Approach and Satisfaction
From the onset, our team focused on understanding the client’s specific needs and aesthetic preferences. This client-centric approach not only facilitated a tailored HVAC solution but also ensured that every aspect of the installation was aligned with the homeowner's expectations. The 10-year comprehensive warranty on parts, compressor, and labor provided by Gree gives the homeowners peace of mind knowing that their investment is protected.

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.
