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.

Bringing Fresh Air Back to Life: The Magic Touch of AirGreen

When the musty odor of mold begins to permeate through the corridors of a home, it signals a hidden foe lurking within the walls—the often-overlooked heat pump. At AirGreen, we recently revitalized a wall-mounted heat pump in Longueuil, transforming it from a mold-infested machine back to its pristine, high-functioning state. This transformation not only eradicated unpleasant odors but also restored the efficiency and air quality of the home, much to the delight of our client.

Understanding the Task at Hand

The Challenge: Our team was called to a residence in Longueuil troubled by a foul smell emanating from their heat pump. Upon inspection, we discovered a significant buildup of mold within the unit, a common issue in systems neglected over a few years.

The Solution: With meticulous attention to detail, we executed a thorough cleaning and washing of both the interior and exterior components of the heat pump. Our process involves:

  • Initial Inspection: Identifying problem areas where mold has accumulated.
  • Deep Cleaning: Using specialized, eco-friendly cleaning agents to remove all traces of mold and debris.
  • System Check: Ensuring the unit operates smoothly and efficiently post-cleanup.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask us about this kind of work

9 questions
How often should maintenance be done?
It depends on the unit and how it is used; the manufacturer gives the frequency. Filters get checked much more often than the full service.
Does maintenance improve performance?
A dirty filter, coil or core cuts airflow and makes the unit work harder. Cleaning them restores the airflow.
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.
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?
