Installation of a Tosot LomoPlus UltraHeat DoubleZone Heat Pump in Westmount, Montréal
Bringing Comfort to Westmount – The Story of a Smart HVAC Upgrade
In the heart of the historic Westmount neighborhood in Montréal, we recently had the opportunity to make a significant impact on the comfort of a home while preparing for the year-round weather challenges that Montréal residents know all too well. At AirGreen, we pride ourselves on delivering solutions tailored to each client’s unique needs, and this project was a perfect example of our expertise in action.
Project Overview: Two Zones of Ultimate Comfort
We installed a Tosot LomoPlus UltraHeat DoubleZone Heat Pump – a system designed for high performance and unmatched energy efficiency. The setup included a 36,000 BTU compressor paired with two 18,000 BTU indoor units, providing customized climate control for two separate zones in the home. Whether it’s sizzling summer heat or the freezing depths of a Québec winter, this advanced unit ensures total comfort with a seamless blend of heating and cooling capabilities.
Why Choose the Tosot LomoPlus UltraHeat?

The Tosot LomoPlus UltraHeat isn’t just a heat pump; it’s a powerhouse engineered to deliver consistent warmth even when temperatures plummet to -30°C. This feature is a game-changer for homes in our climate, where winters can be merciless. Thanks to the two-stage compressor developed by GREE, the system maintains up to 80% heating capacity at these extreme temperatures. It’s the assurance of warmth when you need it most, without sacrificing efficiency.

The Westmount Installation: A Behind-the-Scenes Look
Strategic Planning for Maximum Impact
When we arrived at the Westmount property, we were greeted by the challenge of optimizing climate control for a historic home with unique architectural constraints. After thorough consultation with the homeowners, we mapped out a plan that would best serve the dual needs of heating and cooling, without compromising the home’s aesthetic.
The two indoor units were strategically placed to cover the primary living areas, ensuring an even distribution of comfort. The 36,000 BTU outdoor compressor was installed with precise attention to noise reduction, keeping in mind that the serene neighborhood of Westmount deserves peace as well as comfort. At just 62.0 dB(A), the sound level of the outdoor unit was perfect for maintaining neighborhood tranquility.
Attention to Detail: The Key to Seamless Functionality
We took extra measures to ensure the system’s self-diagnosis feature was primed for easy maintenance. This smart monitoring function will alert the homeowners to any potential issues, saving them time and stress. Additionally, the “I Feel” technology embedded in the system makes for a more personalized experience, sensing the temperature near the remote control and adjusting airflow to keep the user perfectly comfortable.
Tackling Montréal's Harsh Climate Head-On
Defrosting When Needed, Not More
The intelligent defrosting system in the LomoPlus UltraHeat activates only when necessary. This efficient operation prevents energy wastage and keeps the system running smoothly, even in the iciest conditions. Homeowners in Montréal will appreciate this attention to efficiency, especially during prolonged cold spells.
Built-In Heating Elements
To prevent freezing condensate, the outdoor unit includes a built-in heating element at the base. This clever feature ensures that the system continues to operate at peak efficiency, no matter how harsh the weather. This is crucial for Westmount residents who expect both reliability and performance.
The LogisVert Grant: Making Smart Choices More Affordable
One of the highlights of this installation is its eligibility for the LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec, offering the homeowners a $1,450 rebate. This incentive makes investing in an energy-efficient heat pump even more attractive, helping offset initial costs while contributing to a more sustainable future.
Future-Ready with Expandable Zones
While our current installation features two zones, the Tosot LomoPlus UltraHeat is designed to accommodate up to four zones. This scalability makes it an ideal long-term investment for families who may want to add additional rooms to their climate control system in the future.
Technical Specifications Recap:
- Cooling Capacity: 36,000 BTU
- Heating Capacity: -30°C
- Outdoor Unit Dimensions: 40 x 17.3 x 43.5 inches

Installation Details and Challenges
The installation wasn’t without its complexities. Working with Westmount’s stringent building codes and the home’s existing structure required ingenuity and precision. We coordinated with local inspectors to ensure that every aspect of the project was up to standard. Moreover, the reduced dimensions of the indoor units made installation more manageable, minimizing disruption to the homeowners’ daily lives.
