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.

Installation Narrative: Where Precision Meets Perfection
Our seasoned team approached this medium-difficulty installation with meticulous precision and a deep respect for the customer’s space. The objective was clear: install the head unit of the heat pump on the opposite side of the bathroom, crafting a pathway for the air to traverse through the hallway, thereby establishing a haven of comfort throughout the apartment.
Navigating through the bathroom required a delicate touch to minimize property disruption. With pipes coursing through this space, our experts executed the installation with surgical precision, ensuring a minimalistic impact on the property. The finale of this installation saga saw a professional plasterer entering the scene, concealing the pipes with finesse and applying paint that mirrored the existing color scheme. The result? An installation so neat and discreet, it’s as if we were never there!
Provincial Grant and Warranty: Maximizing Value
Eligible for a $375 Provincial Grant, the Zephyr Model 23 is not just an investment in unparalleled comfort but also a choice that is economically savvy. With warranty options that cover 10 years for the compressor and parts (with extended warranty available), this installation is a gift that keeps on giving, providing peace of mind alongside premium service.
AirGreen: Where Quality Meets Commitment

From the initial stages to the final reveal, every step was taken with the customer’s expectations and satisfaction at the forefront. With pipes hidden and aesthetics preserved, the installation was a symphony of efficiency and elegance, leaving behind a trail of comfort and a very happy customer basking in the glow of a job well done.

And at your place?
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.
