Protecting our furry companions during heatwaves is a top priority for many households in Laval. Residential air conditioning isn’t just about improving our own comfort—it plays a crucial role in the well-being of our pets. At AirGreen, we understand that every detail matters when it comes to ensuring a stable, healthy, and safe indoor temperature for the entire family — including the four-legged members.
The importance of well-planned air conditioning for pets in Laval
Laval, like many areas in the Greater Montreal Region, experiences extreme heat episodes every summer. These periods, often marked by temperatures reaching or exceeding 30°C, can quickly become dangerous for pets—especially dogs, cats, rabbits, or birds. Unlike humans, our animals have a hard time regulating their body temperature. A high-performing, well-maintained HVAC system can make all the difference.
Risks for animals during high heat
Heat strokes in pets are common and potentially fatal. A dog left in a poorly ventilated home or a cat exposed to an overheated room can suffer serious health issues in just a few hours. Here are some symptoms to watch for:
-
Excessive panting
-
Unusual lethargy
-
Vomiting
-
Loss of balance
-
Abnormally high body temperature
These signs should alert any pet owner to the urgency of the situation—and the need for a high-performance air conditioning system, ideally installed by certified professionals.
Our HVAC solutions tailored to pet owners' needs
At AirGreen, we offer wall-mounted and central air conditioning systems tailored to your home’s layout, your budget, and your pets’ specific needs. We install quiet inverter units, designed without aggressive drafts, to provide consistent comfort while avoiding thermal shocks.
Wall units: a flexible choice for pet owners in Laval
Among the most popular options for pet owners in Laval are wall-mounted heat pumps. They offer:
-
Even temperature throughout the room

Ultra-quiet operation, essential for noise-sensitive animals

Effective air filtration (ideal for pet hair, dust, and allergens)

Low energy consumption
We install trusted brands like Fujitsu, Gree, Sharp, and Daikin, all featuring operating modes specifically designed to maintain a gentle and consistent indoor climate.
Central air conditioning: for larger homes and multi-pet households
In larger homes or where multiple pets live together, a central heat pump or a multi-zone system is a wise choice. It allows for:
-
Independent temperature control in each room
-
Superior comfort across multiple floors
-
Humidity reduction, which can be harmful to certain pets
Our installations in Laval include trusted brands like Goodman, Bosch, Lennox, and Trane, known for their long-term reliability and performance.
Real-world AirGreen installation in Laval: a family with two dogs and a cat
Recently, we completed an installation in a bungalow located in the Sainte-Rose area of Laval. The client, owner of two senior Labradors and a Persian cat, was dealing with excessive summer heat, made worse by direct sunlight in the living room.
Our approach:
-
Complete thermal assessment of the home
-
Installation of a 12,000 BTU Gree Lomo wall-mounted air conditioner, perfect for the south-facing living room
-
Added a second 9,000 BTU unit in the pets’ bedroom
-
Automatic temperature setting at 23°C with eco mode enabled
-
Integrated HEPA filtration, ideal for hair and allergens
The result? A home with stable temperatures, more relaxed pets, and fully satisfied owners.
Practical tips for optimizing air conditioning with pets
Even with a great HVAC system, a few best practices can go a long way in ensuring pet comfort:
-
Never aim the AC unit directly at their resting area
-
Keep indoor temperatures between 22°C and 25°C
-
Regularly clean filters to prevent buildup of fur
-
Use a complementary air purifier in high-pet-traffic areas
-
Schedule an annual HVAC maintenance to keep peak performance
