The Silent Comfort Revolution: Gree Livo Gen4's Installation Journey

Introduction to Silent Elegance

In the serene neighborhood of Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, AirGreen, your trusted HVAC partner, has once again demonstrated its prowess in delivering top-tier HVAC solutions. Our latest project, a sleek and efficient Gree Livo Gen4 Ductless Heat Pump installation, exemplifies innovation, customer satisfaction, and environmental stewardship. This narrative isn't just about placing a machine in a home; it's a testament to AirGreen's commitment to excellence, customer-centric approach, and technological acumen.

Why Gree Livo Gen4?

Unmatched Efficiency

The Gree Livo Gen4 stands out with its astonishing 20.5 SEER efficiency rating, ensuring your comfort without the hefty energy bill. Its WiFi capability allows seamless control, adding convenience to efficiency.

Designed for Silence

With sound pressure levels as low as 26 dB(A) indoors and 51 dB(A) outdoors, the Livo Gen4 guarantees your peace isn't disturbed. Ideal for placements near living spaces, it whispers comfort.

Robust Warranty and Technical Specs

Backing its superior performance are robust warranty offerings: 10 years for both compressor and parts, with an optional 10-year labor warranty. Its precise engineering, from the 1/4 - 3/8 piping to the 220 V voltage requirement, ensures reliability and performance longevity.

Installation Brilliance

A Challenge Embraced

The task was clear but not devoid of challenges. The client's request was specific: install the external unit on the wall, adjacent to the balcony, ensuring it doesn't encroach on the living space. Our team, known for its ingenuity, rose to the occasion.

Precision and Care

The compressor and indoor units, installed meticulously on the same wall, showcase our team's attention to detail. Our careful planning ensured that the unit's operation would be as silent as a whisper, crucial given its proximity to windows and balcony doors.

Client Delight: A Testament to Excellence

The installation was not just about placing a unit; it was about enhancing a living space. The client's elation at the seamless integration of the Livo Gen4 into their home, coupled with the excitement over the $300 grant from Hydro-Québec, underscores our mission: to exceed expectations.

The AirGreen Difference

Our journey with our clients doesn't end at installation. It's about creating lasting relationships, underscored by trust and a mutual appreciation for quality. The Livo Gen4's inclusion in our portfolio isn't just a testament to our technological forward-thinking but also to our ethos of customer satisfaction and environmental responsibility.

A Green Commitment

In every project, including this latest installation in Côte-des-Neiges-Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, we reaffirm our commitment to sustainability. The Gree Livo Gen4, with its high efficiency and low environmental impact, is a beacon of our dedication to a greener future.

Your numbers

The job tools

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.

    The steps

    How the job unfolds

    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.

    The tour

    What we check on a job like this one

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

    Generic diagram: wall-mounted heat pump, indoor and outdoor units

    In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.

    Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.

    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 right pages, at the right time

    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.
