Air Conditioning in a Healthcare Environment: How a Clinic in Laval Optimized Comfort and Costs

Optimizing indoor comfort in a healthcare facility while reducing energy costs is a challenge we often take on at AirGreen. That was precisely the case during a recent HVAC installation carried out in a private clinic located in the heart of Laval. The goal of this project was clear: improve thermal comfort for both patients and staff, while ensuring maximum energy efficiency and consistent system reliability.

A Specific Need in a Medical Environment

Medical facilities, such as clinics, have unique air conditioning requirements. The HVAC system must maintain a constant temperature, avoid drafts, operate silently, and meet air quality standards. Moreover, certain zones—like consultation rooms, waiting areas, or treatment rooms—require precise settings depending on their use and foot traffic.

During our initial meeting with the clinic’s director, several issues were raised:

  • Areas that were too hot or too cold, creating discomfort for patients.

  • An outdated central air conditioning system that was no longer efficient.

  • High electricity bills, especially during the summer months.

Choosing the Ideal Wall-Mounted Heat Pump for Laval

After a complete assessment of the premises, the surface area to be cooled, and thermal needs, we recommended installing several Gree Lomo 2 wall-mounted units, 12,000 BTU, ideal for segmented spaces like those in a clinic. This choice was based on:

  • The exceptional energy efficiency of the Gree Lomo 2 series (high SEER rating, performance at low outdoor temperatures).

  • Quiet operation, essential in a medical setting.

  • The reliability and durability of the system for daily intensive use.

  • The ability to independently control each room, reducing energy waste.

Installation Process: A Discreet and Efficient Intervention

To avoid disrupting clinic operations, the installation was scheduled over the weekend, completed in two well-coordinated phases. Here are the main steps of our intervention:

  1. Comprehensive technical assessment of walls, existing ducts, and connection options.

  2. Precise drilling for refrigerant line passages without affecting room insulation.

  3. Mounting of the indoor units at the optimal height for even air distribution.

  4. Outdoor unit installation in a discreet rear courtyard, with anti-vibration treatment to eliminate structural noise.

  5. Full system commissioning, including leak testing, pressure verification, and remote control checks.

Everything was completed in under 48 hours, without interrupting medical services, thanks to rigorous planning and the commitment of our experienced technical team.

Immediate Comfort and Cost Reduction from the First Bill

A few weeks after the installation, the clinic’s management gave us very positive feedback. Staff and patients immediately noticed a marked improvement in comfort, specifically:

  • Stable temperatures across all areas.

  • A significant reduction in ambient noise, especially compared to the old system.

  • Better air quality, thanks to the built-in filtration in the Gree units.

On the financial side, the clinic observed a 28% reduction in their electricity bill compared to the same period the previous year, confirming the superior energy efficiency of the new HVAC system.

Government Grants and Financial Support

Thanks to the eligibility of Gree heat pumps for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert subsidies, the clinic was able to obtain financial aid covering up to $1,704 per unit installed. Our team handled the entire administrative process, from the initial application to the confirmation of payments, providing full support.
