In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.

  1. 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.

  2. The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.

  3. Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.

  4. A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.

  5. The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.

  6. On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.

  7. The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.

This advanced heat pump system is designed to deliver exceptional comfort and energy efficiency, making it a perfect choice for residential and commercial spaces.

Installation Overview

In this project, our skilled technicians installed a 36,000 BTU Gree Multi GEN2 compressor on the roof, accompanied by two indoor units, each with a capacity of 18,000 BTU. The Gree Multi GEN2 is renowned for its innovative G10 inverter technology, which ensures precise temperature control, reduced power consumption, and minimal noise. This system is Energy Star® certified and comes with a comprehensive 12-year warranty for both the compressor and parts.

Location and Setup

The installation took place in the dynamic area of Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension, a neighborhood known for its vibrant community and diverse architectural styles. The rooftop setup was chosen to optimize space and ensure efficient cooling and heating throughout the property. Our team meticulously positioned the outdoor unit to minimize visual impact while maximizing performance.

Customer Benefits

Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings

The Gree Multi GEN2 heat pump is designed with high efficiency in mind. With a SEER rating of 22.0, this system significantly reduces energy consumption, leading to lower electricity bills. The LogisVert Grant from Hydro-Québec further enhances its appeal, providing customers with a rebate of $3696.

Quiet Operation

One of the standout features of the Gree Multi GEN2 is its quiet operation. The outdoor unit operates at a sound pressure level of just 63.0 dB(A), ensuring minimal noise disruption. This makes it an ideal choice for both residential and commercial settings where maintaining a peaceful environment is crucial.

Advanced Technology for Optimal Performance

The G10 inverter technology embedded in the Gree Multi GEN2 promotes ultra-precise temperature control and reduced power consumption. This technology adapts the compressor speed to the current cooling or heating demand, providing consistent comfort while using less energy.

Smart Features

  • Self-Diagnosis: This feature enables the heat pump to self-diagnose issues, ensuring optimal performance and reducing maintenance costs.
  • Intelligent Defrost: This function minimizes energy loss by only defrosting when necessary, rather than on a fixed schedule.
  • Automatic Voltage Adaptation: Ensures stable operation even during voltage fluctuations.
  • WiFi Capability: Allows users to control their comfort settings remotely via a smartphone or tablet.

The steps

How it goes, from the first call to the end

The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.

Step 1 of 9The on-site estimate

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.

  1. The on-site estimateWe look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
  2. The quoteModel, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
  3. Getting readyFloors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
  4. The wall openingA single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
  5. The outdoor unitSet on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
  6. Lines, cable and drainConnected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
  7. The electrical workA dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
  8. Tests and start-upLeak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
  9. The walkthroughRemote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.
Your numbers

And at your place?

Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.

Size checkYour baseboards, in BTU/h
–BTU/h of installed electric heat

    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.

    Through the seasons

    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.

    Frequently asked questions

    What people ask us about this kind of work

    12 questions
    Does a wall-mounted heat pump heat in winter?
    Yes, it heats and cools. Its capacity drops in very cold weather; the operating range depends on the model and is listed on its spec sheet.
    Wall-mounted or multi-zone: how do I choose?
    One wall head and one condenser outside: the direct solution for a room or an open area. For two to five rooms, a multi-zone puts one head in each room on a single condenser.
    Where does the outdoor unit go?
    Where it stays above the snow, clear and accessible, away from walkways. We decide it with you during the estimate.
    Are there grants?
    Depending on the model and your situation, assistance programs may apply, including Hydro-Québec's LogisVert. AirGreen checks the model number before quoting an amount. See the grants.
    Do I need a permit?
    Rules vary from city to city: location, distances, noise. See permits and by-laws, and we check for your address.
    How cold can it heat?
    It depends on the model. According to Hydro-Québec, newer models work down to a temperature between −15 °C and −25 °C, and some cold-climate models are certified lower. The minimum temperature is on each unit's spec sheet.
    How much can I save?
    Hydro-Québec says a heat pump can be up to three times more efficient than baseboards for heating in the colder months. The result depends on the house, the climate and how it is used.
    How is the LogisVert assistance calculated?
    For ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified heat pumps, Hydro-Québec lists assistance of $120 per 1,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at −8 °C. AirGreen checks the exact model before quoting an amount; only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted. See the grants.
    Is it noisy?
    The sound level depends on the model and is listed in decibels on each unit's spec sheet. Location matters too: when possible, we avoid putting the outdoor unit under a bedroom window.
    The outdoor unit is covered in ice: is that normal?
    Some frost is: the unit runs defrost cycles. Never hit the ice. If the unit stays iced up or stops heating, call us.
    Does AirGreen hold the required licences?
    Yes. AirGreen holds RBQ licence 5645-9605-01, subclasses 15.8 Ventilation, 15.10 Refrigeration and 16 Electricity.
    Is the estimate free?
    Yes. The on-site estimate is free and the quote follows within 24 hours. Book my free estimate.
