  1. Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.

  2. The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.

  3. Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.

  4. A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.

  5. The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.

  6. On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.

  7. The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.

In this residential project in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , our AirGreen team installed aMidea wall-mounted heat pump , a perfect choice for Montreal's plexes and typical urban brick homes. This type of configuration requires careful attention to location, exterior support, and noise management—elements we systematically incorporate into our approach.

A sensible choice for Montreal's climate: Midea wall-mounted heat pump

The installed unit is a Midea wall-mounted heat pump , a mini-split system known for its excellent performance/energy efficiency ratio. In this specific case, the chosen model is a Midea28 , a new generation wall-mounted heat pump designed to withstand Quebec winters, with reliable heating capacity down to -30°C .

The Midea28 is particularly appreciated for:

  • its advanced inverter technology,

  • its silent operation,

  • its stable performance even in extreme cold

  • its compatibility with current energy requirements.

Context of installation in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie

The Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighbourhood has well-known characteristics: brick buildings, exterior steel staircases, narrow backyards, and close proximity between buildings. All these elements directly influence how a heat pump should be installed.

Visible and relevant installation details

Regarding this installation:

  • The outdoor unit is raised on a solid structure , preventing snow accumulation and ground moisture.

  • The positioning ensures good air circulation while respecting the required clearances.

  • The installation is located near the exterior staircase, optimizing space without compromising aesthetics.

  • Vibrations are minimized thanks to a stable base, a crucial point in a dense urban environment.

This type of raised support is essential in Montreal: it extends the life of the heat pump and ensures optimal operation even during freeze/thaw cycles.

Why a Midea wall-mounted heat pump is ideal for this type of residence

For a home in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, a Midea wall-mounted heat pump represents an excellent compromise between comfort, performance and discretion.

Concrete benefits for occupants

  • Efficient heating in winter , even during periods of intense cold.

  • Comfortable air conditioning in summer , without major construction work.

  • Reduced energy costs compared to traditional electrical systems,

  • Precise temperature control room by room.

  • Very low noise level , both inside and outside.

The Midea28 is also compatible with urban lifestyles: it fits easily into small spaces while offering sufficient power for Montreal homes.

The AirGreen approach: an installation designed down to the smallest detail

At AirGreen , we don't just install a machine. Every project begins with a complete analysis of the building, the environment, and the actual needs of the occupants.

In this project in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, our team has:

  • validated the optimal location to limit noise and maximize efficiency,

  • The heat pump was installed taking into account municipal standards and urban constraints.

  • ensuring a clean and durable finish, both for the outdoor unit and for the pipe penetrations,

  • checked the system calibration to obtain optimal performance from commissioning.

This attention to detail is what allows a Midea heat pump to deliver its full potential over the long term.

A sustainable solution adapted to the future

Midea wall-mounted heat pumps, and particularly the Midea28 series, meet current expectations for energy efficiency and reduced carbon footprint. They fit perfectly into the energy transition that many households in Montreal are experiencing.

For residents of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, this is a solution that combines:

  • four-season comfort

  • proven reliability,

  • adaptation to urban realities,

  • building enhancement.

The steps

How it goes, from the first call to the end

The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.

Step 1 of 9The on-site estimate

We look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.

  1. The on-site estimateWe look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
  2. The quoteModel, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
  3. Getting readyFloors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
  4. The wall openingA single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
  5. The outdoor unitSet on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
  6. Lines, cable and drainConnected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
  7. The electrical workA dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
  8. Tests and start-upLeak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
  9. The walkthroughRemote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.
Your numbers

And at your place?

Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.

Size checkYour baseboards, in BTU/h
–BTU/h of installed electric heat

    Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.

    Through the seasons

    What to do, season by season

    Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.

    • Clean the indoor unit's filters.
    • Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
    • Test cooling before the first hot days.

    Frequently asked questions

    What people ask us about this kind of work

    12 questions
    Does a wall-mounted heat pump heat in winter?
    Yes, it heats and cools. Its capacity drops in very cold weather; the operating range depends on the model and is listed on its spec sheet.
    Wall-mounted or multi-zone: how do I choose?
    One wall head and one condenser outside: the direct solution for a room or an open area. For two to five rooms, a multi-zone puts one head in each room on a single condenser.
    Where does the outdoor unit go?
    Where it stays above the snow, clear and accessible, away from walkways. We decide it with you during the estimate.
    Are there grants?
    Depending on the model and your situation, assistance programs may apply, including Hydro-Québec's LogisVert. AirGreen checks the model number before quoting an amount. See the grants.
    Do I need a permit?
    Rules vary from city to city: location, distances, noise. See permits and by-laws, and we check for your address.
    How cold can it heat?
    It depends on the model. According to Hydro-Québec, newer models work down to a temperature between −15 °C and −25 °C, and some cold-climate models are certified lower. The minimum temperature is on each unit's spec sheet.
    How much can I save?
    Hydro-Québec says a heat pump can be up to three times more efficient than baseboards for heating in the colder months. The result depends on the house, the climate and how it is used.
    How is the LogisVert assistance calculated?
    For ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified heat pumps, Hydro-Québec lists assistance of $120 per 1,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at −8 °C. AirGreen checks the exact model before quoting an amount; only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted. See the grants.
    Is it noisy?
    The sound level depends on the model and is listed in decibels on each unit's spec sheet. Location matters too: when possible, we avoid putting the outdoor unit under a bedroom window.
    The outdoor unit is covered in ice: is that normal?
    Some frost is: the unit runs defrost cycles. Never hit the ice. If the unit stays iced up or stops heating, call us.
    Does AirGreen hold the required licences?
    Yes. AirGreen holds RBQ licence 5645-9605-01, subclasses 15.8 Ventilation, 15.10 Refrigeration and 16 Electricity.
    Is the estimate free?
    Yes. The on-site estimate is free and the quote follows within 24 hours. Book my free estimate.
