  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.

About the Installation

We recently completed this installation in a lovely home in Beaconsfield, a suburb known for its beautiful residences and discerning homeowners who understand the importance of a reliable heating and cooling system. Our client sought a solution that would not only deliver exceptional comfort but also withstand Montreal's demanding weather patterns. The Gree Extrême heat pump was the perfect choice.

Designed to maintain comfort even in temperatures as low as -30°C, this machine stands out for its robust heating capabilities during the winter months, making it an excellent fit for homes in Montreal and its surrounding areas.

The LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec, offering up to $1,704 in rebates, makes this unit even more appealing, ensuring that the homeowner enjoys both comfort and cost savings.

The Installation Process

Our expert team arrived at the Beaconsfield home, ready to install the Gree Extrême heat pump with precision. We began by assessing the most suitable location for both the indoor and outdoor units, ensuring optimal airflow and performance. The brick wall offered a sturdy and secure spot for installation, while the interior space allowed for seamless integration without disrupting the room's aesthetics.

Step-by-Step Installation Highlights:

  • Mounting the Indoor Unit: We carefully installed the indoor unit, ensuring proper alignment and securing it firmly to provide reliable performance. The sleek design of the Gree Extrême complements any room, adding to the home's overall appeal.
  • Connecting the Refrigerant Lines: Our team expertly connected the 1/4 - 5/8 pipes, ensuring an airtight seal for efficient operation. These pipes are designed to handle the R-410A refrigerant, known for its eco-friendly properties.
  • Installing the Outdoor Unit: The outdoor unit was securely mounted, ensuring it remains stable and operational even in extreme weather conditions. With a sound pressure level of 59.0 dB(A), it operates quietly, so the homeowner can enjoy peace and quiet without any disturbances.
  • Electrical Setup: We ensured the unit was connected to a 220V power supply, guaranteeing optimal efficiency and safety.

Our technicians took the time to calibrate the heat pump, ensuring it operates at peak efficiency right from the start. They also provided the homeowner with a comprehensive tutorial on using the Wi-Fi-enabled controls for remote access, making the entire process simple and user-friendly.

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

Your numbers

What would it look like 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.

    1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.

    2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.

    3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.

    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.
