Installation of a MOOVAIR 12,000 BTU Mini Split Heat Pump in Montreal
Discover how AirGreen installed a MOOVAIR 12,000 BTU heat pump on a Montreal rooftop, offering year-round comfort, energy savings, and a $1,200 grant from Hydro-Québec!
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.

The Installation Story: Turning Challenges into Opportunities
Every HVAC installation comes with its own unique set of challenges, and this project was no exception. The installation site—a rooftop in the heart of Montreal—demanded meticulous planning and execution. Our team approached the task with expertise, ensuring the unit was securely mounted and optimized for peak performance.
Step 1: Preparing the Rooftop
Before beginning the installation, we assessed the rooftop for structural integrity and proper drainage. We utilized specialized mounting brackets and anti-vibration pads to ensure the heat pump remains stable during harsh weather conditions.
Step 2: Ensuring Proper Placement
The placement of the outdoor condenser was crucial. Positioned to maximize airflow and minimize exposure to direct sunlight, the unit was installed on elevated brackets to prevent snow accumulation—a common issue during Montreal winters.
Step 3: Precision Wiring and Piping
Our technicians meticulously routed the refrigerant lines and electrical wiring, ensuring a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor units. To protect the piping, we used durable weather-resistant covers that blend seamlessly with the environment.
Step 4: Final Testing and Optimization
Once the installation was complete, we conducted rigorous testing to ensure the system was functioning at its peak. From checking refrigerant levels to calibrating the thermostat, every detail was fine-tuned to guarantee optimal performance.
Eco-Friendly Benefits of the MOOVAIR Heat Pump
Installing the MOOVAIR 12,000 BTU Mini Split Heat Pump is not just about comfort; it's also about sustainability. This model uses R-410A refrigerant, which is both eco-friendly and energy-efficient. By choosing this unit, our client not only reduced their carbon footprint but also took advantage of significant energy savings.
Customer Feedback: A Testament to Excellence
Our client was thrilled with the outcome of the installation. They appreciated the professionalism of our team and the detailed attention we gave to every aspect of the project. The rooftop setup not only saved valuable indoor space but also provided a sleek and unobtrusive solution for year-round climate control.

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.
