As part of a residential project in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , our AirGreen team recently completed the installation of an Elios central heat pump , integrated directly into the residence's existing ductwork. This type of configuration is particularly well-suited to Montreal single-family homes and multi-unit dwellings that already have a central air distribution system.
An Elios central system adapted to Montreal buildings
The Elios central heat pump installed here is a new generation model, designed to provide efficient heating and cooling year-round, even in the demanding conditions of a Quebec winter. A central system was the obvious choice for this property, which was already equipped with a plenum and properly sized metal ductwork.
In Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, this type of interior configuration is frequently found: a technical basement, a central air handling unit, and a network of ducts running throughout the entire dwelling. This allows for uniform air distribution without increasing the number of visible wall units in the living areas.
Installation details observable on the construction site
Based on the elements visible in the photo, several key technical aspects of the installation deserve to be highlighted:
-
A central indoor air manager securely installed on a raised base, ensuring protection against ground moisture.
-
Secondary retention tray under the unit, in accordance with good HVAC practices to prevent any risk of water damage.
-
Condensate pump installed with a rigid PVC drainage network, including siphon and well-sized elbows for reliable flow.
-
Clean and accessible connections , facilitating future maintenance and service interventions.
-
Careful insulation of the ducts and plenum, limiting heat loss and improving the overall efficiency of the system.
-
Clear routing of lines (drain, power supply, controls), respecting safety standards and technical readability.
This type of installation reflects our approach at AirGreen: prioritizing durability, compliance and ease of maintenance, rather than quick or approximate solutions.
Why choose an Elios central heat pump?
Elios systems are distinguished by their excellent performance-to-price ratio and their compatibility with the residential needs of Greater Montreal. In this specific project, the central heat pump offers several concrete advantages:
-
Consistent comfort in all rooms, without temperature variations.
-
Silent operation , since the indoor unit is located in a technical space.
-
Increased energy efficiency , reducing electricity consumption for both heating and air conditioning.
-
Compatibility with harsh winters , an essential criterion in Montreal.
-
Aesthetics preserved , no wall-mounted appliances visible in living spaces.
For Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie homeowners looking to upgrade an old heating system or replace an electric or gas furnace, the Elios central heat pump represents a reliable and scalable solution.
An installation designed for the long term
Each AirGreen installation is carried out with a long-term vision. Here, the emphasis has been placed on:
-
the proper management of condensation , crucial in Montreal basements;
-
the robustness of the supports and fixings ;
-
the clarity of the technical procedures , in order to simplify inspections and annual maintenance;
-
strict compliance with the electrical and mechanical standards in force in Quebec.
These details make all the difference between a merely functional installation and a truly sustainable system.
AirGreen: HVAC expertise in the heart of Montreal
At AirGreen , we install Elios central heat pumps throughout Montreal, Laval, the North Shore and the South Shore. Our in-depth knowledge of local realities — building types, space constraints, climate requirements — allows us to offer solutions perfectly adapted to each sector, whether in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, Villeray, Ahuntsic or elsewhere on the island.
Each project is approached with the same rigor: technical analysis, choice of coherent equipment, careful installation and after-sales support.
