Installation Process of the GREE SAPPHIRE R32 Heat Pump in Westmount
The installation of this heat pump was carried out with the precision and care that characterize our interventions at AirGreen. Here is an overview of the main steps involved in this installation.
1. Site Preparation
The optimal location for installing the outdoor unit of the heat pump was carefully chosen to maximize its efficiency while minimizing noise disturbance. In Westmount, we selected an open outdoor area, protected from strong winds and at an ideal distance from the indoor unit to ensure efficient refrigerant piping connection and adequate air flow.
2. Installation of the Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit of the GREE SAPPHIRE R32 heat pump was installed on a sturdy base to ensure stability. Thanks to its compact design and high-performance fan, this outdoor unit provides consistent cooling and heating, even during extreme hot or cold periods. The sound level was also a key consideration, and the unit is designed to operate quietly, with an acoustic pressure of only 56 dB(A), a crucial benefit for a residential neighborhood like Westmount.
3. Connections and Testing
Once the outdoor unit was installed, we proceeded with connecting the refrigerant pipes and electrical wiring. We also conducted a thorough test to ensure the system was functioning correctly and that there were no leaks in the piping. The automatic detection system allowed us to quickly validate the connection’s efficiency and ensure the heat pump would operate smoothly throughout the year.
4. Installation of the Indoor Unit
The indoor unit of the GREE SAPPHIRE R32 heat pump was mounted on a wall at the ideal location to ensure even air distribution throughout the room. With its airflow control functions, such as auto-swing louvers, this heat pump ensures comprehensive thermal coverage and optimal living comfort. Additionally, the automatic cleaning system helps maintain exceptional indoor air quality with effective dehumidification.
Customer Testimonial: A Restored Comfort
The homeowner in Westmount was particularly pleased with the installation. Before the installation of the GREE SAPPHIRE R32 heat pump, they faced extreme temperature fluctuations in their home, leading to high energy costs. After the new system was installed, they immediately noticed a significant improvement in thermal comfort, and their energy bills were substantially reduced.
"The energy efficiency and performance of this GREE heat pump are outstanding. We immediately noticed a difference in comfort, even on the coldest days. The AirGreen team did an excellent job, and we highly recommend their services to other residents of Westmount," said the customer.

The job tools
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.
How the job unfolds
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.
Model, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
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.
Remote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.

What we check on a job like this one
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.
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.
Good habits, once the unit is in place
Six simple habits that keep the unit going. Your list stays on this device.
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.
The right pages, at the right time
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.
