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.

  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.

The job

Transforming Comfort One Room at a Time: The Saint-Bruno Success Story

At AirGreen, we pride ourselves on providing top-tier HVAC services across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and the North and South Shores. Our mission is simple: to enhance the comfort and quality of living spaces through efficient, reliable heating and cooling solutions. This commitment shines brightly in our latest project, a meticulously executed installation of a Gree Extreme wall-mounted heat pump in Saint-Bruno.

The Heart of the Home: A Strategic Installation

Finding the Perfect Spot

The journey to elevate indoor comfort for our latest client took us to a cozy apartment in Saint-Bruno, where the need for a sophisticated heating and cooling solution was palpable. The client's request was specific and clear: they desired the Gree Extreme wall-mounted heat pump to be installed directly following the bathroom. The strategic placement aimed to optimize airflow distribution throughout the entire apartment, ensuring a harmonious climate in every room.

Navigating the Challenge

The installation posed a medium difficulty level, mainly due to the logistical challenges of integrating the system seamlessly with the existing structure of the apartment. The project required us to maneuver through the bathroom, meticulously installing pipes, electrical wiring, and drainage. Our solution involved routing these components alongside the bathroom, a decision that not only addressed the technical constraints but also preserved the aesthetic integrity of the living space.

A Collaboration of Experts

Seamless Integration

Our team's expertise was complemented by the skills of a professional plasterer, who joined the project to provide the finishing touches. Post-installation, the plasterer worked diligently to ensure a smooth, clean finish, applying a fresh coat of paint that blended the new system into the room as if it had always been there. The result was nothing short of remarkable – a testament to our commitment to delivering installations that are not only functional but also visually appealing.

The Gree Extreme: A Marvel of Innovation

Advanced Features for Superior Comfort

The Gree Extreme wall-mounted heat pump, model Extreme, is a powerhouse of efficiency and innovation. Boasting an 18,000 BTU capacity, this unit is designed to confront the harshest Canadian winters, offering reliable warmth down to -30°C. Equipped with Energy Star® certification, WiFi connectivity, and an AHRI number of 9114294, the Gree Extreme sets the standard for modern climate control solutions.

  • 24.5 SEER Efficiency: Maximizes energy savings while providing exceptional heating and cooling.
  • Innovative Defrosting: Features intelligent compressor defrosting to ensure energy efficiency and consistent comfort during cold months.
  • Compact and Aesthetic Design: The unit's sleek dimensions and motorized louvers offer flexibility in installation and decor integration.
  • Comprehensive Warranty: Offers peace of mind with a 10-10-10 warranty on compressor, parts, and labor.

Sustainable Comfort with Gree

As the world's leading HVAC manufacturer, Gree's commitment to quality, innovation, and sustainability is unparalleled. The Extreme Ultra Heat series exemplifies this dedication, combining high efficiency with environmental responsibility. The use of R-410A refrigerant and high-efficiency G10 inverter technology not only reduces energy consumption but also minimizes the carbon footprint of heating and cooling operations.

Customer Satisfaction: Our Top Priority

The successful installation in Saint-Bruno is a reflection of our unwavering dedication to meeting and exceeding our customers' expectations. The client's joy and satisfaction upon experiencing the seamless integration and exceptional performance of the Gree Extreme heat pump reaffirm our commitment to delivering quality, comfort, and convenience.

Federal and Provincial Grants: Maximizing Value

Our client was particularly impressed by the substantial savings afforded by the provincial grant of $1704, a benefit of choosing an Energy Star® certified model like the Gree Extreme. This financial incentive, combined with the unit's energy-saving features, represents a significant advantage for homeowners seeking to enhance their living spaces' comfort and efficiency.

The steps

The big day, step by step

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

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.

    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.
    At your place

    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.

    0 / 6 checked
    True or false

    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.

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

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

    4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.

    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.
