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.
A Seamless Integration into Your Living Space
At AirGreen, we pride ourselves on not just installing HVAC systems, but integrating them seamlessly into your homes. Our recent project in Ahuntsic-Cartierville, Montreal, stands as a testament to our commitment to excellence and our dedication to customer satisfaction.
The Challenge
Every home is unique, and so are its HVAC needs. For this particular installation, our challenge was to ensure that the entire floor received an even distribution of cooling and heating. The ideal spot for the machine was the center of the living room. However, the architectural constraints of the house meant that we couldn't run the pipes and wires through the walls or ceiling.
The Solution
Rather than seeing this as a setback, we viewed it as an opportunity to showcase our expertise. Collaborating with a professional plasterer, we meticulously planned the route for the pipes through one room, ensuring they were concealed perfectly. Once the pipes and wires were in place, the plasterer worked his magic, hiding them and repainting the area to match the rest of the interior. The result? A Gree Extreme Wall-Mounted Mini Split that looked like it had always been a part of the home.

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.
