In a neighbourhood like Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , where apartment buildings, condos, and duplexes abound, reliable indoor comfort is essential… summer and winter. At AirGreen , we recently installed aMidea wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split) in a living room, with a clear priority: quiet operation, aesthetic integration, and heating performance despite the typical cold weather of Greater Montreal.
The context: a living space to be air-conditioned and heated without cluttering the room
The photo shows a Midea wall-mounted indoor unit , installed high up near the ceiling , an ideal configuration for residential use:
-
Optimize air diffusion (better air jet range)
-
Reduce visual clutter in the room
-
Improving everyday comfort (fewer hot/cold spots)
-
Promote quieter operation through stable and level installation
This type of installation is particularly relevant in Montreal homes where every meter counts: you want a system that is efficient, but also discreet .
Machine type: wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split)
This is clearly a wall-mounted heat pump : a white, horizontal indoor unit with a distribution damper and top air intake. It's one of the most popular solutions in Montreal because it allows for:
-
Air conditioning in the summer
-
Efficient heating during the shoulder seasons , and often for a large part of the winter.
-
Excellent energy efficiency (depending on size and proper sizing)
-
Installation without major pipework
Brand: Midea (confirmed)
The brand to use is Midea — and it is consistent with the style of the visible wall unit (understated design, compact size, rounded front).
Selected model: Midea28 (consistent with Montreal's climate)
When the exact model isn't visible in the photo, we've selected a model consistent with the Midea product line and suitable for residential use in Quebec. For this type of project, the Midea28 is an excellent choice: a "new generation" wall-mounted heat pump designed for heating in cold climates , which perfectly meets the needs of a Montreal home.
In concrete terms, the goal is not to "oversell" a model, but to aim for a solution that:
-
maintains stable comfort
-
avoids unnecessary cycles
-
maintains good efficiency even when the temperature drops
Key installation details (what to look out for in this type of installation)
Even though the photo mainly shows the indoor unit, a successful installation hinges on very specific details. Here's what we systematically apply at AirGreen in similar setups to Rosemont:
1) Positioning at a height: yes, but in the right place
Installing near the ceiling is a good practice… provided that the following are respected:
-
recommended clearances (top and sides)
-
a place that promotes effective airflow (without blowing directly in the face, or "bumping" into a wall that is too close)
-
reasonable access for maintenance (filter cleaning, inspection)
2) Condensation drainage management (critical in air conditioning)
In cooling mode, a wall-mounted heat pump produces water (condensate). We pay particular attention to:
-
the slope of the drain
-
preventing odors from returning and micro-leaks
-
reducing the risk of dripping onto the wall or floor
3) Refrigeration line routing: clean and sustainable
To preserve aesthetics and longevity:
-
We protect the connections (insulation, sealing)
-
we favor a short and logical approach
-
We carefully seal the penetrations (sealing, finishing) to limit air and moisture infiltration.
4) Reduced vibration and noise: true everyday comfort
Silence isn't just the brand; it's also the installation. We ensure that:
-
a well-leveled support
-
sturdy fixings
-
practices that prevent the transmission of vibration through the partitions
5) Adjustments and commissioning: the difference between “it works” and “it’s perfect”
Once the system is in place, we validate:
-
temperature stability
-
the proper functioning of the modes (heating/cooling/dehumidification)
-
the direction of the shutter and the air distribution depending on the room
-
Usage tips to maximize comfort and savings
Why this type of installation is particularly relevant in Rosemont
Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie is often:
-
medium to large-sized living spaces
-
various materials (plaster, brick, partial renovations)
-
Comfort needs that change rapidly (sunlight, uneven insulation, upper floor, etc.)
A properly installed Midea wall-mounted heat pump allows you to:
-
rapid cooling during episodes of humid heat
-
efficient heating during the autumn/winter transitions
-
a significant improvement in comfort without major construction work
Recommended maintenance (simple, but essential)
To maintain performance and air quality:
-
Clean/vacuum the filters regularly (especially during peak season)
-
Keep the unit clear (avoid stuck curtains, obstacles in front of the air jet)
-
Perform periodic inspections : drainage, heat exchanger cleanliness, overall efficiency
At AirGreen, we like to say: a wall-mounted heat pump is like a car — it can be excellent… but it needs to be well maintained to remain reliable and economical.
Conclusion: a discreet, high-performing Midea solution perfectly suited to Montreal residential areas
