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 Testament to Skill and Dedication: Overcoming Architectural Challenges

At AirGreen, we pride ourselves on not just providing HVAC solutions but delivering custom-tailored comfort that meets and exceeds our customers’ expectations. Our recent project in Montréal-Nord is a perfect illustration of our commitment to excellence, ingenuity, and customer satisfaction.

The Challenge of Excellence

The installation of a Tosot Lomo 23 Wall-Mounted Heat Pump in a charming home in Montréal-Nord was nothing short of a technical ballet. The project was marked by its difficulty level: Hard, a challenge we accepted with enthusiasm. The uniqueness of this project lay not just in the model’s advanced features but in the intricate logistics of its installation.

Strategic Installation for Optimal Comfort

The task at hand was to install the indoor unit at the beginning of the staircase leading to the second floor. This strategic placement required us to navigate through the attic, crafting a solution that was both aesthetically pleasing and functional. Our goal was to direct airflow towards the three rooms upstairs, ensuring even temperature distribution for optimal comfort. This demanded precision, skill, and a thorough understanding of airflow dynamics.

Invisible Integration

What sets this installation apart is our meticulous approach to concealing pipes and electric wires. Our team skillfully hid all conduits behind the head unit, eliminating the need for a post-installation paint job. This level of detail not only speaks to our dedication to a clean install but also to our foresight in preserving the home’s aesthetic integrity.

The Tosot Lomo 23: A Closer Look

The Tosot Lomo 23 is not just any heat pump; it’s a beacon of efficiency and innovation. With an Energy Star® rating, optional WiFi connectivity, and an impressive 20.0 SEER efficiency, it represents the pinnacle of climate control technology. Its cooling capacity of 18,000 BTU and ability to provide heat at temperatures as low as -25°C make it a formidable ally against Montréal’s diverse weather conditions.

Designed for Silence, Engineered for Performance

The Lomo 23’s design features are as thoughtful as its performance metrics. With sound pressure levels as low as 39 dB(A) indoors and 55 dB(A) outdoors, it operates with whisper-like silence. This ensures that your home remains a peaceful haven, undisturbed by the mechanical hums often associated with less refined units.

Commitment to Longevity

Understanding the importance of reliability, the Tosot Lomo 23 comes with a comprehensive warranty package — 10 years for the compressor and parts. An extended warranty is also available, ensuring that your investment is protected for years to come.

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.

  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.
