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

  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.

Comfort and Efficiency Without Compromise Thanks to the Zephyr 25 R454B Heat Pump

At AirGreen, we are committed to providing superior HVAC solutions that enhance the comfort of homes and businesses in Montreal and its surroundings. In this article, we present in detail a recent installation of the Zephyr 25 R454B wall-mounted heat pump carried out in the welcoming neighborhood of Rosemont, located in the heart of Montreal.

The Zephyr 25 R454B is known for its high energy efficiency and its ability to operate effectively even in cold weather. For this installation, our goal was to ensure optimal performance year-round, whether during hot summers or the harsh winters typical of the Montreal area.

Features of the Zephyr 25 R454B Heat Pump

The Zephyr 25 R454B wall-mounted heat pump stands out for its exceptional performance and remarkable energy efficiency. Here are some of its main features, ideal for residents of Rosemont and other areas of Montreal:

High Energy Efficiency

With ratings of 25 SEER2 and 11 HSPF2, the Zephyr 25 R454B is a high-efficiency model, significantly reducing consumption compared to standard units. This performance is especially appreciated in Montreal, where HVAC systems must operate year-round to ensure consistent comfort.

Energy Star Certified: Thanks to its superior performance, this heat pump qualifies for several grants and incentives offered to homeowners in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and surrounding regions.

Efficient Heating and Cooling Capacity

  • Heating: The Zephyr 25 R454B provides effective heating even at very low outdoor temperatures, down to -30°C, making it a perfect choice for Quebec winters.

  • Cooling: Similarly, it maintains optimal cooling even during extreme heat, down to +5°C outside.

Quiet Operation

With an indoor noise level as low as 32 dB, this unit guarantees a peaceful home environment — an essential factor in quiet residential neighborhoods like Rosemont.

It is also equipped with the 4D automatic oscillating air diffusion system, which distributes warm or cool air evenly, thus avoiding uneven temperature zones.

Advanced Technologies for Optimal Comfort

  • iFeel Mode: This smart mode adjusts the temperature based on the remote control’s location, ensuring personalized and consistent comfort throughout the room.

  • Smart Technology: Thanks to its adaptive voltage control, the unit remains stable even during fluctuations between 150 and 264 volts, common in older Montreal homes.

  • Quick Start Function: The Zephyr 25 R454B reaches the desired temperature faster than traditional systems, offering immediate comfort.

Durability and Long-Term Peace of Mind

  • 10-Year Parts Warranty: This solid warranty provides homeowners with reliable long-term protection.

  • Fireproof Electrical Box: An important safety addition, reducing risks associated with electrical components.


Installation Steps in Rosemont

Our team of experts at AirGreen carefully followed a rigorous process to ensure a flawless installation. Here is an overview of the steps we followed for this project in Rosemont:

Site Evaluation and Preparation

Before installation, a comprehensive site evaluation was conducted to determine the optimal location for the Zephyr 25 R454B. We considered the layout of the home, window exposure, and the ideal spot for the outdoor unit.

Unit Assembly

  • Indoor Unit: Carefully installed on a strategic wall, it allows optimal air circulation without obstruction by furniture.

  • Outdoor Unit: Placed in an accessible area, ensuring good air circulation and reducing noise disturbances.

Electrical and Refrigerant Connections

Our technicians connected the wiring and refrigerant lines with precision, ensuring that the electrical supply was fully compatible with the requirements of the Zephyr 25 R454B.

Final Checks and Start-Up

Once the installation was complete, we conducted a series of rigorous tests to validate the unit’s performance: heating and cooling operation, airflow configuration, and overall performance verification.


Concrete Benefits for Rosemont Residents

Rosemont homeowners will enjoy many lasting benefits with their new Zephyr 25 R454B installation:

Optimal Comfort Year-Round

Whether during scorching summer days or freezing winter nights, this heat pump maintains a pleasant indoor temperature. Its consistency is especially advantageous for families seeking a stable and comfortable atmosphere.

Significant Energy Savings

Thanks to its efficiency, the Zephyr 25 R454B reduces electricity consumption, lowering your monthly bills. Over the long term, the savings more than compensate for the initial investment.

Your numbers

And 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.

    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.
