In a Ville-Marie apartment, every detail counts: space is optimized, aesthetics are important, and comfort must be immediate—summer and winter. This is precisely the context of this installation by AirGreen , where we installed aMidea wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split) designed to provide efficient heating, stable cooling, and quiet operation.
The photo clearly shows a wall-mounted indoor unit installed high up near the ceiling, with the refrigerant lines exiting to the outside on the right side. This type of configuration is typical of urban dwellings: the aim is to provide even air distribution without sacrificing wall space, while maintaining a clean and discreet appearance.
The system choice: a Midea wall-mounted heat pump adapted to the Montreal environment
In this project, we are using a simple and very effective residential solution: wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split / wall unit) .
Why is this format in such high demand in Montreal, and particularly in Ville-Marie?
-
Rapid comfort : the temperature rises (or falls) almost immediately.
-
Energy efficiency : performance is superior to electric baseboard heaters in the majority of usage scenarios.
-
Precise control : stable temperature, fine settings, automatic modes.
-
Silence : ideal for a living room, bedroom, or home office.
-
Flexible installation : perfect when you don't want to (or can't) modify an entire network of conduits.
Recommended brand: Midea (and why it's an excellent choice)
You provided us with the brand: Midea . We use it as our main reference, and it is consistent with what we often install in Greater Montreal when the client wants a good balance of performance/reliability/budget .
Selected model (consistent with residential use in Quebec)
Even though the indoor unit does not allow an exact number to be read in this photo, the most consistent choice for this type of urban, four-season project is a Midea Midea28 (new generation), known for its ability to remain efficient even during periods of marked cold.
In practice, the required heating capacity (BTU) is determined by the surface area, sunlight exposure, insulation, floor level, and occupancy patterns. In condos/apartments in Ville-Marie, the goal is often a solution that truly heats—not just "cools."
What we see on the installation (and what that implies technically)
Several details in the image reveal a typical "clean" installation in a residential setting:
1) Indoor unit installed very high, near the ceiling
This is the ideal location for:
-
to diffuse the air over a greater distance (the air jet "carries" better),
-
Avoid direct drafts at the level of the sofa or bed.
-
free up the wall for the layout.
2) Connections exit on the right side
A right lateral exit towards the structure (wall/fall) is observed. This generally means:
-
an optimized passage to reach the outside (condenser on balcony, facade, inner courtyard, roof as appropriate),
-
a desire to reduce the visual impact and limit unnecessary lengths.
3) Exposed insulation at the exit point
The visible protection/insulation at the outlet is an important point:
-
It protects the pipes,
-
It limits heat loss.
-
It helps reduce unwanted condensation.
-
It contributes to the silence (fewer vibrations transmitted).
At AirGreen, we pay particular attention to the finish: a well-made, well-insulated and well-sealed passage means less risk of noise, air infiltration, or condensation problems over time.
The key stages of our AirGreen installation in Ville-Marie
Even on a "simple" installation like a wall light, the final quality depends on the rigor at each stage.
Evaluation and sizing
We approve:
-
the area to be served,
-
orientation (direct sunlight, large windows, exposed walls),
-
insulation,
-
the optimal location for the indoor unit,
-
external constraints (condenser location, neighborhood, co-ownership, access).
Choice of interior positioning
In this case, mounting it high up near the ceiling allows for:
-
improved overall comfort
-
a subtle visual rendering
-
a more even airflow.
Passage of connections and condensation management
We provide:
-
a logical progression of actions,
-
an adequate slope for drainage,
-
protection against condensation,
-
a clean finish (sealants, insulation, cleanliness of the drilling).
Commissioning and checks
Once the machine is in place:
-
heating/air conditioning functionality test
-
checking the blowing temperatures,
-
drainage control,
-
mode selection (auto, silent, dehumidification),
-
Explanation to the customer: remote control, maintenance, best practices.
Everyday comfort: what the customer actually gains
In Ville-Marie, the reality is often the same: people want a reliable, comfortable solution that does not disrupt daily life.
In winter
A properly installed Midea wall-mounted heat pump offers:
-
gentler and more even heating
-
less drying than overly aggressive heating.
-
a rapid response to temperature changes.
In summer
Air conditioning becomes:
-
stable (fewer deviations),
-
pleasant (better distribution),
-
silent (ideal at night).
Between seasons
This is where the heat pump shines:
-
Cool mornings, warm afternoons
-
automatic adjustment,
-
constant comfort without unnecessary overconsumption.
Maintenance points: maintaining Midea performance year after year
A wall-mounted heat pump is efficient — provided it is properly maintained.
What the customer can easily do
-
Clean/rinse the filters (depending on usage: every 3 to 6 weeks during peak periods).
-
Keep the supply and return air areas clear.
-
Avoid blocking the unit with tall furniture or heavy curtains.
What we recommend with AirGreen
-
A complete periodic maintenance (thorough cleaning, checks, drainage).
-
An inspection is recommended if you notice: odors, decreased airflow, unusual noise, icing, or moisture around the unit.
Common mistakes in condos/apartments — and how to avoid them
In urban areas, problems rarely come from the machine itself… but rather from installation details.
-
Poorly positioned unit : direct airflow onto a resting area → discomfort.
-
Neglected drainage : condensation and risk of damage → we secure the slope and the path.
-
Poorly sealed hole : air infiltration / noise → careful finishing essential.
-
Unnecessary pipe lengths : losses, reduced performance → optimized routing.
-
Lack of full verification at commissioning → we validate everything, not just “it starts up”.
Why AirGreen for your Midea wall-mounted heat pump in Montreal?
In Montreal, and particularly in areas like Ville-Marie , the installation must be designed as much for performance as for everyday life:
-

-
concern for interior aesthetics,
-
clear explanations to the customer,
-
post-installation and maintenance service.
Our goal is simple: that the machine be pleasant to use , efficient , and reliable over time — without any unpleasant surprises.
