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.

A Seamless Integration of Comfort and Aesthetics

In the charming community of Rosemère on Montreal's North Shore, our latest project at AirGreen highlights not only our commitment to delivering top-tier HVAC solutions but also our dedication to aesthetic excellence and customer satisfaction. This detailed account not only showcases the installation of a GREE LIVO GEN4 wall-mounted heat pump but also illustrates our meticulous approach to overcoming structural challenges, ensuring that each project blends seamlessly into the decor of our clients' homes.

The Challenge of Visible Piping

Often, the biggest challenge in residential HVAC installations isn't the installation itself but ensuring the equipment integrates well with the home's design. In this particular project, the structure of the home did not allow for hiding the heat pump's piping within the walls or ceiling. This is a common issue many homeowners face, but it is one that we at AirGreen are prepared to tackle creatively.

Understanding our client’s desire for a clean look, we recommended a professional plasterer from our trusted network. After our installation was complete, the plasterer constructed a custom box to encase the pipes. This solution was not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. The box was then painted to match the room’s color scheme, ensuring that the heat pump’s presence was felt only through the comfort it provided, and not through any visual discordance.

The GREE LIVO GEN4: A Synthesis of Technology and Efficiency

The GREE LIVO GEN4 wall-mounted heat pump is renowned for its exceptional efficiency and cutting-edge features. With a cooling capacity of 18,000 BTU and a heating limit that extends down to -25 °C, it stands as a formidable solution for climate control. The model's 18.5 SEER efficiency rating is a testament to its design, aimed at reducing electricity usage while maximizing output.

Key features include:

  • Inverter G10 Technology: This technology adjusts the motor speed in real time, based on the needs of the room, which minimizes energy consumption and maintains consistent temperatures.
  • I-Feel Function: This feature uses sensors in the remote control to adjust the room temperature to where you are, ensuring personalized comfort.
  • Multiple Fan Speeds and Intelligent Preheating: These allow the system to quickly reach the desired temperature and maintain it with minimal fluctuation.
  • WiFi Connectivity: Allows homeowners to control their climate settings from anywhere, directly from their smartphones.

Additionally, this model is equipped with a resin-coated coil and includes features like sleep mode, auto-clean, low-voltage start-up, and auto-diagnosis for troubleshooting. Such comprehensive functionality ensures that the GREE LIVO GEN4 is not only effective but also user-friendly and durable.

Collaboration and Customer Satisfaction

The success of this installation in Rosemère was not just due to the high-quality heat pump or our technical expertise; it was also a result of the collaborative effort between AirGreen, our client, and the skilled plasterer who provided the finishing touches. This project exemplifies our holistic approach to HVAC installation—where functionality meets design.

The steps

How it goes, from the first call to the end

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

And 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.

    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.
