  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 Symphony of Precision and Expertise: Crafting Comfort in Complexity

Unveiling the Masterpiece: Fujitsu LZAH1

At the heart of our recent installation in the serene locale of Côte Saint-Luc, Montreal, lies the Fujitsu LZAH1 Wall-Mounted Heat Pump. This marvel of engineering is not just a machine; it’s a testament to unparalleled comfort and efficiency, a silent guardian of your ambient atmosphere, and a sleek addition to your living space aesthetics.

  • Cooling Capacity: A robust 12,000 BTU, ensuring a cool and refreshing environment, even when the summer sun is at its fiercest.
  • Heating Capacity: Fearless performance at -26 °C, making it a reliable companion through the chilly winters.
  • Efficiency: With a 29.4 SEER rating, it’s a maestro of energy conservation, translating into significant savings on your energy bills.
  • Silent Operation: With an exterior sound pressure level of 47.0 dB(A) and an indoor level ranging between 23 and 43 dB(A), it whispers serenity.
  • Warranty: A decade-long assurance (10-10-10) on compressor, parts, and labor, with an extended warranty included, symbolizing our confidence in the product and our commitment to your peace of mind.

The Stage: Côte Saint-Luc Installation

Our project at Côte Saint-Luc was a canvas of complexity, a challenge we embraced with open arms and tackled with precision and dedication. The customer’s wish was our command: a centrally located head unit in the living room, ensuring uniform heating and cooling access to the entire apartment.

The Plot Thickens: No Balcony, No Problem

With no balcony in sight and wall installation off the table, the rooftop emerged as the chosen destination for the compressor. This decision set the stage for a meticulous installation process, weaving through multiple rooms, sometimes in the ceiling, sometimes in the wall, crafting a seamless integration of technology and living space.

The Finale: Invisible Installation

Post-installation, our collaboration with a seasoned plasterer ensured that the traces of our meticulous work were artfully concealed, with gyprock and color-matched paint applied where necessary. The end result? A heat pump that seemed to materialize out of thin air, with no signs of the intricate installation process visible.

Grants Galore: Maximizing Value

The Fujitsu LZAH1 doesn’t just bring comfort; it brings a bouquet of federal and provincial grants. With eligibility for a Federal Grant ranging between $2,500 and $5,000, and an additional Provincial Grant of $500, it’s not just an investment in unparalleled comfort but also a treasure trove of value.

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.
