Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.

  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 Glimpse into High-Efficiency Comfort Solutions

Innovative Installation for Sustainable Living

In the heart of Montreal, a city known for its distinct seasons and architectural charm, the need for efficient and reliable heating and cooling solutions is paramount. AirGreen, a leading HVAC services provider in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore, recently completed an exemplary installation of the Tosot Lomo 23 wall-mounted heat pump, showcasing not only the unit's superior capabilities but also our commitment to enhancing comfort with environmentally conscious technology.

Choosing the Right Model: Tosot Lomo 23

The Tosot Lomo 23 model, renowned for its high efficiency, offers a perfect blend of aesthetics and performance. With a 23.0 SEER efficiency rating and the ability to operate effectively in temperatures as low as -25°C, this model stands out as an ideal choice for residential applications. The unit features an AHRI certification (9108745), ensuring that it meets rigorous energy performance standards.

The heat pump's indoor unit dimensions (33.4 x 8.2 x 11.4 inches) and outdoor unit dimensions (33.4 x 12.6 x 21.3 inches) make it compact enough for a discreet installation without compromising the interior design aesthetics. Additionally, the 10-year warranty on both compressor and parts provided by Tosot guarantees long-term reliability and peace of mind for homeowners.

Advanced Features of the Lomo 23

The Lomo 23 is equipped with state-of-the-art features that cater to the modern homeowner’s needs:

  • Two-Stage Inverter Technology: This feature allows the pump to maintain consistent temperatures with up to 80% heating capacity even at -25°C, ensuring efficient operation during Montreal’s harsh winters.
  • Smart Defrost: Helps in maximizing energy efficiency by only defrosting when necessary, thus reducing overall power consumption.
  • Memory Function: Conveniently restores previous settings after a power outage, providing uninterrupted comfort.
  • Compact Design: Ensures that both the indoor and outdoor units fit seamlessly within different spaces, ideal for urban homes.
  • Self-Diagnosis: Simplifies maintenance by automatically displaying error codes, which helps in quick troubleshooting.

Seamless Integration into a Modern Living Space

The installation process at a residential property in Montreal was meticulously planned to ensure that the unit complements the existing decor. Positioned above the living room door, the indoor unit blends seamlessly with the room’s modern aesthetic, marked by neutral tones and contemporary furnishings. The strategic placement not only optimizes air distribution throughout the space but also maintains the room’s sleek appearance.

Environmental Impact and Energy Savings

Embracing the LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec, this installation benefits from a $340 subsidy, reflecting our commitment to promoting sustainable energy solutions. The high SEER rating of the Tosot Lomo 23 significantly lowers electricity consumption, aligning with both homeowner and city-wide goals for reduced carbon footprints.

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.

    • 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.
