Take a tour of the installation
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.
Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.
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.
A Symphony of Efficiency and Elegance: Another Happy Customer in Kirkland!
The Perfect Upgrade for a Spacious Home
In the heart of Kirkland, Montreal, a recent installation of the Gree Sapphire Wall-Mounted Heat Pump has brought unparalleled comfort and efficiency to a beautiful, open-concept residence. This home, expansive and meticulously designed, was previously serviced by an 18,000 BTU unit that fell just short of the homeowner’s heating and cooling expectations.
Why the Gree Sapphire?
- Powerful Performance: With a robust 24,000 BTU cooling capacity, the Gree Sapphire effortlessly meets the demands of the large living space, providing consistent temperatures throughout every corner of the home.
- Silent Operation: Acoustically engineered for minimal noise, this model boasts a sound pressure level as low as 27 dB(A) indoors and 59 dB(A) outdoors, making it a whisper-quiet companion that never interrupts the tranquility of your living environment.
- Aesthetic Harmony: Its sleek design and compact dimensions (44.19 x 9.81 x 13 inches for the interior unit and 38.63 x 16.81 x 31.13 inches for the exterior unit) allow the Gree Sapphire to blend seamlessly into the home’s modern decor without compromising on style.
- Energy Efficiency: Awarded the Energy Star® certification and flaunting a 21.5 SEER efficiency rating, the Gree Sapphire is a testament to sustainable living, promising low energy consumption without sacrificing performance.
A Seamless Installation Experience
Our team at AirGreen executed the installation with precision and care, ensuring that the transition from the old unit to the Gree Sapphire was smooth and hassle-free for the homeowner. The process was straightforward, thanks to the simplicity and user-friendly design of the Gree Sapphire.
Double the Savings with Provincial Grants
The delight on our customer’s face was unmistakable when they learned of the $1860 Provincial Grant that the Gree Sapphire qualifies for. This substantial saving meant that upgrading to a more powerful, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing unit cost less than maintaining their old system.
Warranty and Support
With a 10-year warranty on the compressor and parts, and the option for an extended 10-10-10 warranty, our customer can rest easy knowing that their investment is protected for years to come. At AirGreen, we stand by the quality of our installation services and the reliability of the Gree products we offer.
A Happy Ending to a Perfect Installation
As the installation concluded, it was clear that the Gree Sapphire was the missing piece to our customer’s comfort puzzle. The home now basks in the perfect temperature, regardless of the season, with a system that operates silently and efficiently in the background, complementing the lifestyle of the residents without imposing on it.

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.
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.

Floors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
A single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
Set on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
Connected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
A dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
Leak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.

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.
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.

Your own project, step by step
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.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
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.
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.
During defrost cycles. That water must drain away without forming ice.
2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.
Windows, insulation, orientation and how the room is used all count. Capacity is chosen on site.
3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.
One head per room, all on the same condenser. Each room keeps its own temperature.
4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.
It must stay accessible: it is what shuts the unit off for service.
