In this single-family home in Laval-des-Rapides , our AirGreen team completed the installation of an Elios central heat pump , integrated into an existing ductwork system in the basement. This type of project is very representative of Laval homes built with a dedicated mechanical room, offering excellent potential for conversion to a modern, high-performance, and energy-efficient heating and cooling solution.
An Elios central heat pump adapted for Quebec residential use
The Elios central heat pump installed here belongs to the new generation residential line, designed to operate efficiently in Quebec's climate. Combined with an indoor air management system and a ducted ductwork system, it provides uniform heating and cooling for the entire house, without any visible units in the rooms.
Even if the exact model is not explicitly identifiable visually, the configuration corresponds to a high-efficiency Elios central heat pump , compatible with standard forced-air residential installations, which are very common in Laval.
Context and constraints of the construction site in Laval-des-Rapides
The basement had several features typical of houses in the area:
-
Mechanical room with an open structure and exposed joists
-
Existing network of metal ducts , requiring precise adaptation of the plenum
-
Limited height necessitates a compact and well-planned integration.
-
The presence of wiring and plumbing requires rigorous coordination.
Our technicians installed the Elios indoor unit directly onto an insulated base, with careful connection to the main ductwork. The joints were fully sealed with aluminum tape and sealant , ensuring optimal airtightness and minimizing air leakage.
Prominent installation details observable
From the photo and the context, several technical elements clearly stand out:
-
Elios central air handling unit installed vertically in the basement
-
Custom-made plenum , adjusted to existing ducts
-
Enhanced insulation and sealing of duct transitions
-
Neat routing of lines and cables , properly fixed to the joists
-
Clear access for future maintenance , an often overlooked point
This attention to detail is part of our AirGreen approach: every installation must not only be efficient, but also durable and easy to maintain.
Why choose an Elios central heat pump in Laval?
For a house like this one in Laval-des-Rapides, the Elios central heat pump offers several concrete advantages:
-
Uniform comfort in all rooms
-
Excellent heating and air conditioning performance
-
Reduced energy costs compared to older systems
-
Compatibility with provincial and federal subsidies (subject to eligibility)
-
No visible wall unit , for a clean interior
This is an ideal solution for families looking to modernize their system without altering the aesthetics of their living spaces.
An installation designed for the Quebec winter
In Laval, winters are demanding. We have therefore configured the Elios system to ensure:
-
Stable heating capacity even in cold weather
-
A balanced air distribution , avoiding cold spots
-
Long-term reliability , thanks to an installation that complies with best HVAC practices
Every connection, every seal and every adjustment is designed to maximize the system's performance over several years.
The AirGreen approach: local expertise and technical rigor
At AirGreen, we work daily in Laval, Montreal, on the North Shore and the South Shore . This proximity allows us to understand the realities of local buildings: varying ceiling heights, compact mechanical rooms, and ductwork systems that are old or have been modified over time.
For this project in Laval-des-Rapides, our priority was clear: to deliver a clean, efficient installation perfectly suited to the home , without compromising on quality.
