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

  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 job

The Art of Climate Control: A Story of Innovation and Satisfaction

The Challenge of a Lifetime

When the residents of a charming home in Pointe-Claire reached out to us at AirGreen for an HVAC solution, they were in for a journey of innovation, meticulous planning, and ultimate comfort. The task at hand was not just any installation; it was the setup of a Gree Multi GEN2 TripleZone Heat Pump, a marvel in the world of climate control, capable of transforming their living space into a haven of comfort. This installation was marked as hard, not just by the complexity of the task but by the elements themselves, as we embarked on this project right after a hefty snowstorm.

Unpacking the Gree Multi GEN2

Before diving into the intricacies of the installation, let's appreciate the beast that is the Gree Multi GEN2 TripleZone Heat Pump. Designed to provide unparalleled efficiency with a 22.0 SEER rating, this system is not only Energy Star® certified but comes equipped with WiFi capability, making it a pinnacle of modern HVAC solutions. The unit boasts a robust 36 000 BTU compressor, cleverly connected to three separate 12 000 BTU indoor units, ensuring a balanced and tailored climate control experience. The package is sweetened with a potential $3696 grant from Hydro-Québec, making it an investment that pays back in comfort, efficiency, and savings.

A Symphony of Coordination and Expertise

The installation in Pointe-Claire was anything but straightforward. The beauty of the TripleZone system lies in its ability to cater to different areas independently, which also means finding the perfect spot for the outdoor compressor and strategically placing the three indoor units. With one unit conveniently close to the compressor and the other two stationed on separate floors, our team faced the Herculean task of weaving the necessary pipes and electrical wires through walls and ceilings with surgical precision.

Overcoming the Elements

Mother Nature decided to add a layer of complexity with a generous snowfall right before the installation. However, armed with resilience and a can-do attitude, our team navigated through the snow, ensuring not a single flake could deter us from our mission. The chill of winter was met with the warmth of our determination, as we meticulously planned every drill and secured every fitting, ensuring the system's optimal performance regardless of the weather outside.

The Finishing Touches

The tale doesn't end with the installation. Our commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction drove us to partner with a professional plasterer, who, following the installation, transformed the work area back into a pristine canvas. Holes were seamlessly covered, pipes and wires meticulously hidden, and walls repainted, leaving no trace of the extensive work done, except for the gentle hum of the heat pump and the comfortable ambiance it created.

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.
