An Exceptional Season for Our HVAC Teams on the North Shore
At AirGreen, we've experienced intense air conditioning seasons in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, as well as on the North Shore and the South Shore. Yet nothing prepared our teams for last summer, marked by a historic heatwave that broke all records on the North Shore. Throughout those challenging weeks, our expertise in HVAC installation and HVAC maintenance was in higher demand than ever, pushing us to overcome numerous technical and logistical challenges.
The Historic Heatwave on the North Shore: Exceptional Challenges for AirGreen
The record-breaking summer on the North Shore saw temperatures frequently hitting 40°C with humidity, putting unprecedented strain on residential and commercial air conditioning systems. Our teams had to simultaneously manage:
-
A massive influx of urgent installation requests.
-
Frequent technical breakdowns caused by overloaded existing equipment.
-
Urgent interventions in sensitive locations such as retirement homes and schools.
-
Logistical constraints related to the supply of equipment and spare parts.
Strategic Equipment Choices to Respond to the Climate Emergency
Faced with this exceptional situation, AirGreen prioritized equipment known for robustness and energy efficiency to quickly and durably restore thermal comfort to our clients. Among this equipment were notably:
-
The Fujitsu KETA wall-mounted heat pump (18,000 BTU), particularly effective at simultaneously managing temperature and excessive humidity.
-
The Gree Extreme wall-mounted air conditioner (24,000 BTU), offering excellent rapid cooling capacity.
-
The Carrier Infinity 24VNA9 central heat pump (up to 60,000 BTU), extremely reliable for complete HVAC installations eligible for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert grants.
Real-Life Example: Successful Emergency Intervention in Blainville
A particularly revealing case occurred at a family home in Blainville, where the existing air conditioning system—aging and improperly sized—completely failed during the heatwave. With indoor temperatures exceeding 35°C, the situation became critical, especially for elderly residents living there.
Our AirGreen team immediately implemented an emergency solution:
-
Rapid diagnostic to identify the exact cause of the breakdown.
-
Accelerated installation of an 18,000 BTU Fujitsu KETA wall-mounted heat pump.
-
Complete startup and verification within 24 hours following initial contact.
The result was immediate: a significant drop in indoor temperature from the very first hour, restoring vital comfort for residents.
Common Mistakes Encountered During the Heatwave: Practical Advice from AirGreen
Our experience during this record-breaking heatwave allowed us to observe frequent mistakes made by many North Shore residents. To avoid these issues in the future, here are our essential tips:
-
Don’t neglect preventive maintenance: Regular HVAC maintenance before high-heat periods prevents sudden breakdowns.
-
Never underestimate proper sizing: An incorrectly sized wall-mounted air conditioner or heat pump leads to equipment overload, reducing its lifespan.
-
Prioritize quality for the short-term: Investing in quality equipment suitable for your space guarantees immediate comfort and long-term reliability.
Authentic Testimonial from a Relieved Client in Saint-Eustache
