  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.

A Tale of Innovation and Precision: How AirGreen Mastered a Challenging Installation

In the heart of Laval, a groundbreaking event unfolded as AirGreen embarked on an intricate journey to install a Gree Multi GEN2 DoubleZone Wall-Mounted Heat Pump, a feat that not only tested our expertise but also showcased our commitment to excellence and innovation in HVAC solutions. This narrative not only chronicles our journey but also highlights why AirGreen is the preferred choice for HVAC projects across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore.

Understanding the Challenge

At the outset, let's delve into the specifics of the Gree Multi GEN2, a 36 000 BTU powerhouse with two 18 000 BTU indoor units designed to provide unparalleled comfort. The complexity of this installation lay not in the technology itself but in the meticulous planning required to ensure optimal placement of both indoor and outdoor units. This complexity was classified as medium, underscoring the need for precision and strategic thinking.

The Journey to Seamless Installation

The story of this installation is one of technical prowess and innovative solutions. The primary hurdle was the placement of the outdoor unit and the strategic installation of the two indoor units on opposite sides of the house. The proximity of one unit to the compressor presented a straightforward task, but the second unit, located near the center of the house, posed a significant challenge.

Our team's commitment to excellence was on full display as we engineered a solution to conceal the piping within the walls, ensuring a clean and aesthetically pleasing outcome. This approach minimized structural impact on the house, leaving our customer thoroughly impressed with the ingenuity and cleanliness of the installation.

Gree Multi GEN2: A Closer Look at Excellence

The Gree Multi GEN2 is not just any heat pump; it is a testament to energy efficiency and advanced technology. Equipped with WiFi capabilities and boasting an impressive 22.0 SEER efficiency rating, this model is a paragon of modern HVAC solutions. The ENERGY STAR® certification and the AHRI number 210278979 affirm its quality and performance standards.

Furthermore, the unit is powered by a 220V supply, ensuring robust performance with a sound pressure level of 63.0 dB(A), making it as powerful as it is quiet. The R-410A gas ensures environmentally friendly operation, and the cooling and heating capacities are designed to withstand even the harshest Canadian winters, with heating efficacy down to -30°C.

The Reward: Satisfaction and Recognition

This installation was not just about overcoming technical hurdles; it was about delivering value and satisfaction to our client. The successful installation made our client eligible for the Provincial Grant: LogisVert Program, amounting to $3696, a significant saving that underscored the economic benefit of choosing AirGreen for their HVAC needs.

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.
