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.
Bringing Unmatched Comfort and Efficiency to Sainte-Julie with the Gree Extrême Installation
We recently had the pleasure of completing another top-quality installation in Sainte-Julie, South Shore, where we installed a Gree Extrême 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump. This installation was not only about adding a state-of-the-art HVAC system to the home but also about enhancing comfort, efficiency, and long-term savings for our customer.
Why the Gree Extrême 18,000 BTU Heat Pump Stands Out
The Gree Extrême heat pump isn't just any mini-split; it's a unit that’s specifically designed to handle the extreme temperatures of the Canadian climate. With the ability to provide consistent heating even when the mercury drops to a bone-chilling -30°C, it's truly a game-changer for homes in the Greater Montreal area. This energy-efficient system also boasts a cooling capacity of 18,000 BTU, making it a year-round comfort solution.
A Closer Look at the Installation
Our installation in Sainte-Julie was executed with precision and professionalism, ensuring that every detail was attended to. Here’s a breakdown of what made this installation unique:
- Model: Gree Extrême
- Type: Mini Split
- Cooling Capacity: 18,000 BTU
- Heating Capacity: -30°C
- Eligible Grant: The system qualifies for the $1,704 LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec, offering significant savings for the homeowner.
The Benefits of the Gree Extrême Installation
1. Superior Heating Performance
One of the standout features of the Gree Extrême heat pump is its ability to provide reliable heating down to -30°C. This means that even during the coldest winter nights in Sainte-Julie, this unit will keep your home cozy and warm without compromising performance.
2. Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
With an impressive 24.5 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), this heat pump is designed to operate efficiently, reducing energy consumption and ultimately lowering your electricity bills. The G10 Inverter technology ensures that the compressor operates at variable speeds, adjusting to the home’s temperature needs and preventing unnecessary energy waste.
3. Eligible for Grants and Rebates
Our customer in Sainte-Julie was thrilled to learn that the Gree Extrême installation qualified for substantial grants:
- Federal Grant: Up to $2,500 / $5,000
- Provincial Grant: $1,704 from the LogisVert program
These grants make the investment in a Gree Extrême heat pump even more appealing, as they help offset the initial cost and improve overall savings.
The Technical Side of Our Installation
We pride ourselves on our meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every installation meets the highest standards. Here's a bit more about the technical aspects of this project:
- Voltage: 220V
- Freon Type: R-410A, an environmentally friendly refrigerant

- Piping Dimensions: 1/4 - 5/8
This attention to detail ensures that the Gree Extrême functions at peak efficiency and seamlessly integrates into the home's existing infrastructure.
User-Friendly Features for Maximum Comfort
The Gree Extrême heat pump comes with numerous features designed to enhance comfort and convenience:
- Wi-Fi Connectivity: Control the system remotely using your smartphone, whether you’re at home or away.

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.
