  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

Efficiency and Comfort Redefined

When it comes to providing comfort and efficiency, few installations tell a story like the one we completed in Châteauguay, featuring the Tosot Lomo 23 Wall-Mounted Heat Pump. This high-efficiency unit not only exemplifies cutting-edge technology but also showcases the dedication and craftsmanship of AirGreen's expert team.

Setting the Scene

In the tranquil suburb of Châteauguay, a family sought a solution to combat the sweltering summer heat and the biting cold of Quebec winters without the high energy costs often associated with heating and cooling systems. Enter the Tosot Lomo 23, a model renowned for its superior efficiency and quiet operation. With a 22.0 SEER efficiency rating and a capacity to deliver cooling and heating at 12,000 BTU, this system was an ideal fit for their needs.

Installation Challenges and Triumphs

The installation posed unique challenges, particularly due to the structure of the family's residence. The indoor unit needed to be placed in a position that maximized airflow without disrupting the aesthetic integrity of the living space. Our team expertly mounted the sleek indoor unit above the television in the main living area, ensuring it blended seamlessly with the room's decor while providing optimal air distribution.

For the outdoor unit, considerations had to be made regarding the compact design and noise levels. Tosot's promise of a 54 dB(A) sound pressure level for the exterior unit meant we could install it close to living spaces without worrying about noise. The smart defrost system and two-stage inverter technology ensure the unit operates efficiently even at -25°C, crucial for our chilly winters.

Technological Advancements for Enhanced Comfort

The Tosot Lomo 23 is not just about heating and cooling; it's about creating a tailored environment suited to the preferences of its users. With features like microprocessor-controlled defrosting and memory function that automatically restores previous settings after a power outage, it promises convenience and ease of use. Its self-diagnosis system simplifies maintenance by displaying error codes for quick troubleshooting.

Beyond Standard Features

What sets the Lomo 23 apart is not just its technical specifications but its user-centric innovations. The model includes Gree's two-stage inverter technology, which adjusts compressor activity, reducing energy consumption while maintaining ideal temperature levels. The indoor unit's reduced size and elegant design complement any room, while its 29 dB(A) interior sound pressure level ensures it never becomes a nuisance.

Customer Satisfaction and Energy Savings

The homeowners were thrilled with the installation. Not only did the heat pump provide a significant improvement in their home comfort, it also qualified for a $385 LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec, affirming its energy efficiency and sustainability. The 10-year warranty on both compressor and parts provided additional peace of mind.

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.

  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.

    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.
