In this project in Fabreville, Laval , the AirGreen team installed and commissioned a complete central system: a Midea central heat pump with its air handling unit (indoor unit) installed in the basement and connected to the existing ductwork. This type of installation is ideal for single-family homes and suburban properties seeking consistent comfort, room by room, year-round.
A central solution for consistent comfort
Unlike a wall-mounted heat pump, a central heat pump distributes heated or cooled air through the house's ductwork . Result:
-
a more stable temperature in several rooms
-
a better distributed airflow,
-
and an “invisible” integration (no wall units in the rooms).
Here, the choice fell on a Midea EVOX G3 , a model consistent with modern central installations, designed to offer excellent energy efficiency and reliable performance in the conditions of Greater Montreal.
What the installation shows: visible technical details and key points
The photo clearly shows the central indoor unit (air handling unit) installed in a mechanical room in the basement, with:
-
Connection to the plenum and ducts : the transition to the metal duct is well aligned, and the sections are properly sealed to limit air loss.
-
Insulation and sealing of joints : we see the use of metal tape/finish at the fittings, an essential to reduce leaks and improve the actual performance of the system.
-
Drainage management : the condensate line is in place (essential element to avoid overflows and moisture in the basement).
-
Access to the filter : the presence of the pleated filter nearby reminds us of the importance of simple and regular maintenance — a crucial point for air quality and the durability of the equipment.
-
Compact vertical format : perfect in a basement where space is limited, while still maintaining sufficient accessibility for maintenance.
This is exactly the kind of context where installation expertise makes the difference: a central system may be excellent on paper, but it is the quality of the connection, the sealing and the adjustments that determines everyday comfort.
Why Midea is a good choice for a central location in Laval
In Laval (and more broadly on the North Shore), temperature variations can be significant. A well-sized and properly installed central system allows for:
-
comfortable heating during cold periods,
-
stable air conditioning during periods of heat and humidity,
-
improved energy efficiency compared to older solutions
-
compatibility with existing distribution (conduit network already present in several houses).
The Midea central range stands out particularly when aiming for a balance between performance, reliability and total project cost, without sacrificing air quality and overall comfort.
The AirGreen approach: clean installation, precise settings, real performance
At AirGreen, our work isn't just about "installing a machine." For a central heat pump , we pay particular attention to:
-
the sealing of the ducts (to avoid heating/cooling… the technical voids),
-
air circulation (flow rates, air returns, network constraints),
-
moisture and drainage management ,
-
ease of maintenance (access to the filter, access to the panels),
-
commissioning settings to optimize performance and comfort.
This project in Fabreville illustrates our priority well: a solid, durable installation, designed for the reality of everyday life (simple maintenance, stable operation, minimized noise, maximized efficiency).
Maintenance: the small step that protects your investment
In a central system, the filter is a key component. A clogged filter can:
-
decrease the airflow,
-
force the fan,
-
reduce efficiency,
-
and accentuate overall wear and tear.
We recommend regular checks (especially during periods of intensive heating/cooling) and complete maintenance depending on usage, environment, and the presence of animals or allergies.
