  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 Tale of Two Installations: How AirGreen Delivers Comfort and Efficiency to Saint-Laurent Homes

Introduction to Excellence

In the heart of Saint-Laurent, Montreal, a recent installation by AirGreen has once again demonstrated our commitment to delivering high-quality, efficient heating solutions to our clients. The project involved the installation of the Tosot LomoPlus UltraHeat Ductless Heat Pump, a model renowned for its efficiency and reliability. But this wasn't just any installation—it was a tale of neighborly observation leading to mutual benefit, showcasing our ability to respond swiftly and effectively to our customers' needs.

The Scene: Simple Yet Strategic

Our journey begins in a cozy kitchen in Saint-Laurent, where the need for a heating and cooling solution presented itself. The customer, seeking a system that was both efficient and discreet, chose the Tosot LomoPlus UltraHeat model. Noteworthy for its silent operation and high efficiency, this 9,000 BTU machine was the perfect fit for the space.

Key Features at a Glance

  • Energy Star® Certified
  • Efficiency: 38.0 SEER
  • Cooling and Heating Capacity: 9,000 BTU
  • Operational Sound Levels: Interior unit as low as 19 dB(A)
  • Connectivity: WiFi-enabled
  • Environmental Compliance: Uses R-410A refrigerant

Customer-Centric Installation

The installation was marked by our team's meticulous approach to ensure a clean and professional setup. All electrical wiring and piping were strategically concealed behind the unit, which not only preserved the kitchen’s aesthetic but also eliminated the need for any post-installation renovations. This attention to detail is reflective of our commitment to non-intrusive installations and customer satisfaction.

Unexpected Turn: The Neighbor's Inquiry

While our team was busy at work, the visual appeal and efficiency of our operations caught the eye of the customer's neighbor. Intrigued by the fuss-free process and the sleek design of the installed unit, the neighbor requested a similar installation. What followed was an excellent example of our ability to leverage group discounts and offer even more value to our clients. Both apartments, mirroring each other in layout and needs, were equipped with the same Tosot model, fostering a sense of community and shared comfort.

The Group Discount Advantage

This scenario highlights a significant benefit of choosing AirGreen: the possibility of group discounts. By coordinating installations within the same vicinity, we can optimize our resources and pass on the savings to our customers, a testament to our dedication to affordability and service excellence.

Performance and Peace of Mind

Each LomoPlus UltraHeat unit is designed to withstand the rigors of the Canadian climate, maintaining up to 80% heating capacity at chilling temperatures as low as -30°C. This capability is complemented by a 10-year warranty on parts and compressor, assuring long-term reliability and performance.

Smart Features for Enhanced Comfort

  • Two-Stage Compressor: Delivers optimal performance and energy efficiency.
  • Intelligent Defrost: Minimizes energy loss by activating only when necessary.
  • Wireless Control: Adjust settings remotely for maximum convenience and energy savings.
  • Turbo Mode: Quickly achieves the desired indoor temperature.

Conclusion: Why AirGreen?

With AirGreen, expect a seamless installation process, robust support, and a system that adapts to your needs while enhancing your living environment.

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.

    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.
    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.
