  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.

Designed to withstand the extremes of Canadian weather, this system offers exceptional comfort, reliable operation, and enhanced efficiency. Let’s dive into the details of this installation and explore why this Tosot model is an excellent addition for any homeowner seeking comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind.

Why Choose Tosot LomoPlus UltraHeat?

Tosot has earned a reputation as a dependable name in HVAC, offering innovative designs that combine high-performance and durability.

  • LogisVert Grant Eligibility: Qualified for a $1,704 LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec, this installation provides financial incentives for those looking to upgrade their heating and cooling systems.

The Installation Process: Precision and Expertise in Lachine, Montreal

At AirGreen, we understand that every installation is unique, catering to the specific layout and requirements of each space. This project in Lachine involved careful planning to ensure optimal placement of both the indoor and outdoor units. The indoor unit’s compact dimensions of 43.3 x 9.8 x 12.8 inches allowed us to position it discreetly on the wall, ensuring it blended seamlessly with the home’s interior design. This positioning also enhanced air distribution, allowing for effective climate control throughout the room.

The outdoor unit, measuring 38.5 x 16.8 x 31.1 inches, was installed securely with considerations for maximum efficiency and minimal noise impact on both the client and their neighbors. With a sound level of 59.0 dB(A), the Tosot LomoPlus UltraHeat’s outdoor unit is designed to be unobtrusive while still delivering strong performance.

Tosot LomoPlus UltraHeat's High Performance Features

Our choice to install the Tosot LomoPlus UltraHeat in this Lachine residence was no accident. This model combines advanced features designed to handle both extreme heat and cold, making it a versatile and valuable investment. Key performance features include:

Advanced Two-Stage Compressor

The two-stage compressor in the LomoPlus UltraHeat adapts dynamically to different temperature conditions, providing just the right amount of heating or cooling needed. This not only saves energy but also reduces wear and tear on the unit, prolonging its lifespan.

Intelligent Defrosting System

Unlike conventional units that engage in routine defrost cycles regardless of necessity, the LomoPlus UltraHeat employs an intelligent defrost system that operates only when needed. This feature is especially beneficial during Montreal’s harsh winters, as it prevents energy waste while maintaining optimal performance, even during the coldest days.

"I Feel" Remote Sensor Technology

The "I Feel" technology incorporated into the remote control allows the unit to sense temperature directly from where the remote is placed. This offers a more precise temperature control based on the exact area where the user is, enhancing comfort levels while avoiding unnecessary energy use.

Self-Diagnosis System

The built-in self-diagnosis system keeps track of the unit’s performance and can quickly alert technicians to any potential issues. This proactive approach to maintenance minimizes downtime and ensures the heat pump operates smoothly for years to come.

Benefits of Choosing AirGreen for Your HVAC Needs

For this Lachine project, we ensured that every component was installed with precision, from the piping (1/4 - 5/8) to the 220V electrical connections. We believe in transparent communication, reliable service, and installations that align with the highest industry standards.

Extended Warranty for Peace of Mind

The Tosot LomoPlus UltraHeat comes with an impressive 10-year warranty on parts and compressor, with the option to extend labor coverage. This extended warranty gives our clients the confidence that their investment is protected, and that AirGreen will be there to support them whenever needed.

Eligible for Hydro-Québec's LogisVert Grant

For environmentally conscious homeowners, this heat pump is eligible for the $1,704 LogisVert Grant from Hydro-Québec, which incentivizes energy-efficient choices.

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.

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.
