At AirGreen, we understand that every home in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore has its own unique needs when it comes to residential air conditioning. That’s why we offer a comprehensive service, from analyzing your comfort requirements all the way to the final installation of your wall-mounted, central, or multi-zone air conditioning system. This complete guide reflects our hands-on expertise, supported by real-life installation cases with our clients, and aims to shed light on each step of the process.
Understanding the Different Types of Residential Air Conditioning Systems
Before anything else, it’s essential to know the available options on the market to choose the solution that best suits your home and your expectations in terms of comfort and energy savings.
Wall-Mounted Air Conditioner (Mini Split)
Perfect for apartments, condos, or smaller homes, this system consists of an indoor unit mounted to the wall and an outdoor compressor. It’s often reversible, meaning it can also provide heating during winter, acting as a heat pump.
Advantages:
-
Quick, non-invasive installation
-
Excellent energy efficiency
-
Independent temperature control by room
Central System (with furnace and ductwork)
More suitable for larger homes, this system uses existing air ducts to distribute cool air throughout every room in the house.
Advantages:
-
Even comfort across all living spaces
-
Centralized air filtration option
-
Ideal for homes with an existing central heating system
Multi-Zone System
For multi-storey homes or houses with rooms used for different purposes (e.g., home offices, bedrooms, basements), a multi-zone system allows you to control the temperature independently in each space.
Advantages:
-
Optimized energy consumption
-
Personalized comfort by zone
-
Flexible installation depending on the home’s layout
Case Study: Wall-Mounted GREE LOMO Air Conditioner Installation in a Duplex in Ahuntsic (Montreal)
A client contacted us after a particularly hot summer. They wanted a quiet, energy-efficient system eligible for government rebates. After evaluation, we recommended installing a Gree Lomo 12,000 BTU wall-mounted air conditioner.
Project Details:
-
Assessment of insulation and sunlight exposure on the top floor
-
Recommendation of an Energy Star certified unit
-
Proposal of Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert grant (up to $1,740)
-
Installation of the wall unit in the master bedroom with a discreet line running to the backyard
The result: a significant drop in indoor heat, better sleep for the family, and noticeable energy savings from the first utility bill.
Key Steps to a Successful Residential Air Conditioning Installation
Personalized Thermal Evaluation
Every installation begins with a full thermal assessment of the home. We take several factors into account:
-
Total surface area of the home
-
Orientation of the building
-
Existing insulation
-
Number of floors and room layout

-
Always choose HVAC installation done by a licensed contractor (RBQ, CMMTQ)
-
Request a free, personalized quote – at AirGreen, it’s always no obligation
-
Ask about warranty coverage (minimum 10 years on parts for recommended brands)
Client Testimonial – Air Conditioning a Century-Old Home in Longueuil
A couple owning a home built in 1924 was looking for a discreet, efficient solution that would preserve the historic charm of their property. We installed two Fujitsu KZAH R-32 wall-mounted units, paying special attention to the exterior line sets, which we painted to match the brickwork.
Result: optimal cooling, reduced energy usage, and architectural integrity maintained. A project that clearly illustrates our flexibility and attention to detail.
