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.

  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

A New Era of Comfort in Charlemagne

AirGreen is proud to showcase a recent installation that underscores our commitment to energy efficiency and superior comfort. In the quaint city of Charlemagne on the North Shore, we've successfully installed a cutting-edge GREE LIVO GEN4 wall-mounted heat pump. This project not only delivered an advanced HVAC solution but also demonstrated our dedication to leveraging technology for enhanced living environments.

Project Overview

The installation took place in a modern residential setting, chosen specifically for its unique architectural characteristics which blend well with the sleek design of the GREE LIVO GEN4 model. This unit, renowned for its robust performance and aesthetic appeal, was installed to provide an optimal heating and cooling solution that aligns with the homeowner’s lifestyle and energy-saving goals.

Technical Brilliance

Model: GREE LIVO GEN4
Type: Wall-Mounted Heat Pump
Capacity: 12,000 BTU
Efficiency: 18.5 SEER
Features:

  • WiFi Enabled: Complete control from anywhere via smartphone.
  • Inverter Technology G10: Precise temperature management and reduced energy consumption.
  • I-Feel Function: Adjusts temperature based on the remote's location for personalized comfort.
  • Multiple Fan Speeds & Sleep Mode: Flexibility in operation to suit different comfort needs.
  • Pre-Heating & Intelligent Defrost: Ensures reliable operation even in extreme conditions.
  • Smart Diagnostics & Auto-Clean: Simplifies maintenance and enhances unit longevity.

The GREE LIVO GEN4 is not just a testament to modern HVAC technology but a cornerstone of home comfort, offering features that adapt to both seasonal changes and user preferences. Its installation was a meticulous process, handled by our skilled technicians who ensured every detail was perfected, from the strategic placement of the indoor and outdoor units to the precise configuration of the system settings.

Enhanced Environmental Impact

One of the most compelling aspects of this installation is its environmental impact. The GREE LIVO GEN4 qualifies for a $350 LogisVert grant by Hydro-Québec, acknowledging its contribution to reducing carbon footprints through high-efficiency operation. This system uses the eco-friendly R-410A refrigerant, which complements its superior efficiency ratings.

Installation Insights

This particular installation required a keen eye for detail. Our team installed the indoor unit in a central location to maximize air distribution and aesthetic integration with the home's decor. The outdoor unit was strategically placed to minimize noise and maximize efficiency. The entire setup was completed with high-quality materials, including durable piping and state-of-the-art electrical components, ensuring that the system operates smoothly under varying electrical conditions.

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.
