Take a tour of the installation
Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.
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.
Bringing Advanced Comfort to Urban Residences
As the demand for efficient, reliable, and aesthetically pleasing HVAC solutions continues to rise in urban settings, AirGreen is proud to showcase a recent highlight from our array of installation projects. Nestled in the heart of Montreal, our latest endeavor involves the setup of the Fujitsu RLXFWH, a top-tier wall-mounted heat pump that blends seamlessly into the modern urban home while offering exceptional performance.

Technical Excellence Meets Aesthetic Simplicity
The Fujitsu RLXFWH model stands out not only for its robust functionality but also for its sleek design. Its compact dimensions allow it to integrate unobtrusively into any room aesthetic. Furthermore, the unit’s advanced inverter technology ensures that energy consumption is continuously adjusted according to room temperature, enhancing comfort while minimizing energy use.

- Advanced Cooling and Heating Technology: Capable of heating efficiently even at -26°C and cooling during sweltering summer days, ensuring year-round comfort.
- Refrigerant Type: Utilizes R-410A, a refrigerant known for its lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerants.
Installation Story: Overcoming Urban Challenges
The installation of the Fujitsu RLXFWH in a bustling Montreal neighborhood exemplifies AirGreen’s expertise in navigating the complexities of urban HVAC installations. The chosen location presented a typical urban challenge: limited outdoor space for the external unit and the need for minimal disruption to the household and neighbors.
Our skilled technicians strategized the installation meticulously to ensure efficient use of space and minimal visual impact. The external unit was mounted in a position that optimized performance while respecting the architectural integrity of the building. The internal unit, noted for its quiet operation and high efficiency, was installed to provide optimal airflow throughout the living spaces without compromising on aesthetics or comfort.
Customer-Centric Service and Expertise
At AirGreen, every installation is a testament to our commitment to customer satisfaction and technical excellence. Our team provided comprehensive guidance on the operation and maintenance of the unit to ensure sustained performance and efficiency. The customer was particularly impressed with the seamless integration of the unit into their home’s decor and the immediate improvement in their living environment’s comfort.

The big day, step by step
The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.
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.
Model, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
Floors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
A single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
Set on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
Connected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
A dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
Leak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
Remote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.

What would it look like 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.

Your own project, step by step
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.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
Is your home ready?
Check what applies at your place. A "no" is not a refusal: it is what we sort out during the estimate.
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.
During defrost cycles. That water must drain away without forming ice.
2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.
Windows, insulation, orientation and how the room is used all count. Capacity is chosen on site.
3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.
One head per room, all on the same condenser. Each room keeps its own temperature.
4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.
It must stay accessible: it is what shuts the unit off for service.
