A choice of comfort and efficiency for compact and urban spaces
In Montreal, condominiums represent a significant portion of the residential market, especially in densely populated boroughs like Plateau-Mont-Royal, Griffintown, Rosemont, or Ville-Marie. Given the challenges related to space, ambient noise, and strict installation regulations, condo owners are seeking HVAC solutions that are efficient, discreet, and silent. In this context, the silent wall-mounted air conditioner has become the preferred choice in nearly 80% of condos.
Why is this type of unit so popular in Montreal?
Optimizing space in condo units
Wall-mounted air conditioners are ideal for condos where every square foot counts. They are installed directly high up on an interior wall, without encroaching on living space or floor area. This format is perfect for small to medium-sized condos, especially studios and 3 ½ units, where space is often limited.
Unlike central systems, they require no ductwork, which significantly reduces the need for architectural reconfiguration. At AirGreen, we’ve installed silent wall-mounted air conditioners in over 200 condos in Montreal since the beginning of the year – and in most cases, our clients emphasized how important the space-saving aspect was.
Silence: a necessity in urban settings
Condo living in Montreal often means dealing with a noisy urban environment: traffic, neighbors, nightlife. In this context, it’s crucial that HVAC systems don’t add any additional noise.
The latest models of wall-mounted air conditioners we install – such as the Gree Lomo, the Fujitsu KZAS, or the Sharp ZU1 – are equipped with ultra-quiet compressors and fans. In night mode, the sound level can drop as low as 19 dB, which is barely more than the sound of rustling leaves.
Example: In a project in Griffintown, a client contacted us after a bad experience with a noisy portable air conditioner. We installed a Gree Lomo 12,000 BTU wall-mounted air conditioner, and the result was immediate: a peaceful and cool ambiance, with zero audible humming.
Fast and clean installation under strict regulations
Condo buildings often impose strict restrictions on installation work, especially regarding duct routing or balcony access. Wall-mounted air conditioners help meet these regulations thanks to their minimally invasive installation.
Our teams at AirGreen are fully experienced with installations in multi-unit environments. We coordinate each step with the condo board, using discreet wall brackets, exterior conduits painted to match the façade, and interior ducts perfectly aligned with the space.
Example: In Ville-Marie, in a historic building, we installed a Sharp ZU1 15,000 BTU in a condo on the 5th floor. Thanks to our precise drilling system and specialized tools, we completed the installation in one day, without altering the structure or disturbing the neighbors.

Choose an Energy Star-certified model. This ensures high efficiency and energy savings.
-
Get a professional evaluation. At AirGreen, this evaluation is always free.
-
Check with your condo board first. We help you understand and comply with all requirements.
