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.
A Fresh Breath of Comfort: How Our Recent HVAC Installation Enhanced a Home Renovation in Terrebonne
Project Overview
When it comes to ensuring the comfort of your home, the quality of your HVAC system plays a pivotal role. In a recent project in Terrebonne, on Montreal's scenic North Shore, AirGreen had the pleasure of integrating a state-of-the-art Gree FreeMatch Extreme DoubleZone Heat Pump into a home that was undergoing extensive renovations. This installation not only maximized the homeowner's comfort but also aligned perfectly with the architectural changes to create a seamless integration of technology and design.
Details of the Gree FreeMatch Extreme Installation
Innovative Design Meets Functional Excellence
The Gree FreeMatch Extreme is renowned for its advanced features and robust performance. Our recent installation involved a 24,000 BTU compressor with two internal units, each capable of delivering 12,000 BTU, ideal for maintaining a balanced temperature throughout the house.
Efficient Installation During Home Renovation
Leveraging the opportunity provided by the home’s renovations, our skilled technicians implemented the system with exceptional ease. With walls already open for other upgrades, we were able to install necessary piping and wiring without the typical constraints, ensuring a clean and unobtrusive setup. The proximity of the compressor to the electrical panel, merely 10 feet apart, further facilitated a streamlined installation process and allowed us to extend a significant cost reduction to our client.
Dual Placement of Internal Units
Strategically, one internal unit was placed close to the compressor, while the other was installed centrally, about 35 feet away, ensuring efficient air distribution across significant living spaces. This placement strategy not only optimized the cooling and heating zones but also maintained aesthetic integrity by minimizing visible components.
Client Satisfaction and Grant Application
Our client's satisfaction was paramount. Not only did they appreciate the professional and tidy installation, but they were also pleased with our assistance in applying for a $2,148 provincial grant under the LogisVert Program by Hydro-Québec. This initiative not only provided financial relief but also highlighted the energy efficiency of the Gree FreeMatch Extreme, which proudly bears the Energy Star® certification.
Why Choose the Gree FreeMatch Extreme?
Exceptional Efficiency and Comfort
The Gree FreeMatch Extreme boasts an impressive 23.0 SEER efficiency rating, ensuring that our clients enjoy superior comfort without the burden of high energy costs. The model's capabilities in both heating (up to -35°C) and cooling are complemented by its dual-zone functionality, which can be expanded up to three zones.
Smart Features for Modern Homes
With built-in WiFi capabilities, homeowners can effortlessly control their indoor climate through their smartphones, a boon for those who value convenience and modernity. The AHRI certification (202557961) of this model further attests to its performance and reliability.
Commitment to Sustainability and Durability
The choice of R-410A refrigerant not only aligns with current environmental standards but also ensures that the system operates at peak efficiency with minimal environmental impact. Additionally, the comprehensive 10-year warranty covering the compressor, parts, and labor, along with an extended warranty, offers peace of mind and speaks volumes about the product's durability.

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.

Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.
