New Homeowner in Laval? What You Need to Know About Cooling Your House

Take Control of Home Comfort from Day One in Your New Laval Residence

Moving into a new house in Laval is a major milestone. For many homeowners, thermal comfort quickly becomes a top priority—especially with Québec’s harsh winters and humid summers. At AirGreen, we guide every new homeowner through understanding, selecting, and installing their air conditioning or wall-mounted heat pump, taking into account their specific needs, the layout of their home, and the available grants in the region.

Why Cooling Should Be a Top Priority for New Homeowners in Laval

In the Laval area, extreme climate fluctuations are the norm. Hot summer spells can make some rooms unlivable without proper air conditioning. That’s why, as a new homeowner, it’s essential to invest early in a high-performance, energy-efficient, and long-lasting HVAC system.

We often find that newly purchased homes are equipped with outdated or poorly maintained systems, leading to high energy bills and uneven home comfort. That’s why we recommend a complete HVAC evaluation by our experts to lay a solid foundation from the start.

Which Cooling Systems Are Best for Residential Homes in Laval?

Wall-mounted heat pumps: a popular two-in-one solution

Wall-mounted heat pumps from brands like Gree, Fujitsu, Sharp, and Bosch are among the most recommended for single-family and semi-detached homes in Laval. They offer both cooling in the summer and heating in the winter, with exceptional energy efficiency.

At AirGreen, we recently installed an 18,000 BTU Fujitsu KZAH R-32 wall-mounted heat pump in a Laval bungalow. The challenge came from thick concrete walls, which required special anchors and custom routing of the conduits to the outdoor unit. Our technicians completed the installation in a single day, without disturbing the neighbors, while ensuring a flawless, aesthetically pleasing finish.

Wall-mounted air conditioners: pure cooling performance

Some new homeowners prefer a cooling-only solution. In these cases, models like the 24,000 BTU Sharp ZU1 or the Senville Leto are excellent choices. These units deliver fast, quiet, and consistent cooling, ideal for Laval’s hot summer season.

Available Grants for New Homeowners in Laval

Thanks to Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program, many heat pump and wall-mounted air conditioner installations qualify for rebates of up to $2,172. Our experts handle all the paperwork for our clients. During a recent Sharp ZU1 installation in Laval, our client received a $1,704 rebate, processed in less than three weeks.

Mistakes to Avoid When Choosing a Cooling System in Laval

Failing to inspect the existing system

Many new homeowners wrongly assume the current system is sufficient. However, equipment that’s 10 years old or more is often inefficient and expensive to operate. A free HVAC assessment with AirGreen helps you know exactly where you stand.

Installing an oversized or undersized system

Installing a 12,000 BTU unit for a 2,000 sq. ft. home or a 24,000 BTU unit for a 700 sq. ft. condo will result in discomfort, energy waste, or short cycling that damages the system. Our experts perform a precise thermal load calculation for every installation.

Skipping regular maintenance

Even brand-new equipment requires seasonal maintenance to perform at its best. At AirGreen, we offer HVAC maintenance contracts that extend your system’s lifespan and optimize efficiency.
