Embracing Efficiency and Comfort: A Stellar Installation in Beaconsfield
In the heart of Beaconsfield, Montreal, AirGreen has recently completed an exemplary installation of the Gree Extreme Mini Split, known for its robust performance and cutting-edge features. This project not only enhanced the home's climate control but also aligned with sustainable practices, being Energy Star® certified and eligible for significant LogisVert Grant subsidies.
The Choice of Gree Extreme: A Synonym for Reliability and Innovation
When selecting the ideal HVAC solution for our client in Beaconsfield, the choice was clear. The Gree Extreme Mini Split system stands out with its impressive 24.5 SEER efficiency rating and the ability to provide exceptional heating down to -30°C, making it a formidable ally against the Canadian winters. The system's dual capability of cooling and heating ensures year-round comfort, adapting seamlessly to the diverse climatic conditions of Quebec.
Installation Highlights and Challenges
Every installation comes with its unique set of challenges and opportunities for innovation. For this Beaconsfield project, the strategic placement of both the indoor and outdoor units was crucial. The indoor unit was mounted on a prominent wall in the living space, ensuring optimal air distribution and unobtrusive integration with the room’s aesthetics. The outdoor unit was installed with precision to maintain the property's visual appeal while ensuring maximum efficiency.
Sound levels were a significant consideration, given the client's preference for a quiet environment. The Gree Extreme operates at a mere 34 dB(A) indoors at its lowest setting, which is quieter than a whispered conversation, ensuring it enhances the home environment without disrupting it.
Advanced Features for Enhanced Comfort and Usability
The Gree Extreme is equipped with several advanced features that set it apart in the market:
- Wi-Fi Connectivity: This feature allows remote monitoring and control via a smartphone, ensuring convenience and efficiency.
- Intelligent Defrosting: The system includes a microprocessor-controlled defrost mechanism that activates only when necessary, optimizing performance and energy usage.
- Two-Stage Compressor: This technology enables the heat pump to operate efficiently, adapting to temperature variations with ease, and providing consistent, reliable output.
- I-Feel Technology: Temperature sensors on the remote control adjust the settings based on real-time readings from the room, ensuring comfort is tailored precisely to the occupants’ needs.
Customer Satisfaction and Eco-Friendly Impact
Post-installation, the homeowner was thrilled with the system’s performance and the aesthetic integration into their living space. The Gree Extreme not only meets their heating and cooling needs but also contributes to their home’s energy efficiency. The installation qualified for a $1,704 LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec, emphasizing the system’s eco-friendly benefits and cost-effectiveness.

The job tools
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.
How the job unfolds
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 we check on a job like this one
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.
Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.
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.
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.
Good habits, once the unit is in place
Six simple habits that keep the unit going. Your list stays on this device.
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.
The right pages, at the right time
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.
