Heat Your Home Smarter in 2025: The HVAC Innovations That Are Changing the Game in Quebec
In 2025, homeowners and property managers in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore are increasingly looking for effective ways to lower their heating bills. At AirGreen, we’re at the forefront of this energy transition. Thanks to our expertise in HVAC, we help Quebec residents switch to solutions that are cost-effective, sustainable, and perfectly adapted to our province’s harsh climate. The era of energy-hungry heating systems is over. Welcome to the age of central, wall-mounted, and next-generation hybrid heat pumps, designed to deliver optimal comfort while significantly reducing monthly expenses.
Heating Challenges in Quebec: Why Make the Switch in 2025?
Quebec winters are unforgiving. The long cold seasons demand powerful and reliable heating systems, but also ones that are energy efficient. With electricity prices constantly rising and new energy efficiency standards coming into play, more and more property owners are reconsidering their HVAC setup.
At AirGreen, we’ve noticed that our clients are looking to:
-
Lower their monthly bills
-
Improve their indoor comfort
-
Take advantage of government grants, such as Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program
-
Play a role in the energy transition
What Are the Must-Have Heating Technologies in 2025?
1. High-Efficiency Wall-Mounted Heat Pumps (R-32)
Today’s wall-mounted heat pumps use the R-32 refrigerant, which is both more efficient and more environmentally friendly than older options. This refrigerant delivers excellent energy performance, even at -25°C — a crucial factor in Quebec.
Concrete Example:
For a client in Laval, we installed an 18,000 BTU FUJITSU KZAH heat pump. Thanks to its high-performance compressor, this unit helped the homeowner reduce their heating costs by nearly 40% in the first winter alone. The system is eligible for a $1,704 subsidy through LogisVert.
2. Central Forced-Air Systems with R-32 Refrigerant
GOODMAN R-32 central units have become a go-to choice for single-family homes and rental buildings. They integrate seamlessly with existing ductwork and offer excellent Coefficient of Performance (COP) ratings.
Recent Installation in Longueuil:
We replaced an outdated electric furnace with a 36,000 BTU GOODMAN R-32 system equipped with electronic management. The result? Enhanced comfort, better air circulation, and estimated annual savings of over $1,200.
3. Hybrid Central Heat Pumps — BOSCH BIVA IDS Premium (R-454B)
For demanding homeowners, BOSCH BIVA IDS Premium hybrid systems offer the pinnacle of innovation. Their variable-speed inverter technology and R-454B refrigerant ensure exceptional performance with a smaller environmental footprint.
Flagship Project in Saint-Bruno:
We installed a BOSCH central system in a 3,200 sq. ft. home. Despite temperatures dropping to -28°C, the system maintained a stable indoor temperature without needing a backup heater. The client received combined subsidies exceeding $2,500.
Available Grants in 2025: A Valuable Boost
The Quebec government and Hydro-Québec are actively supporting the adoption of energy-efficient technologies. In 2025, programs like LogisVert allow you to receive:
-
$1,704 to $2,500 for high-efficiency wall-mounted or central heat pumps
-
Additional grants for off-grid or underserved homes
-
Credits for replacing fossil fuel-based systems
We guide our clients through every step: eligibility, application, installation, and administrative follow-up.
