A fast, professional, and life-saving intervention for children's comfort
In the heart of summer in Longueuil, with temperatures soaring above 30 °C, a daycare in the Saint-Hubert neighbourhood faced a critical situation: their outdated and inefficient air conditioning system was no longer able to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature for the children. At AirGreen, we understand that thermal comfort is essential—especially in sensitive environments like childcare facilities. It was under these urgent circumstances that we were called in to help.
A broken A/C system during a heatwave: a serious risk for young children
When the daycare director reached out to us, the stress was evident. Several rooms were hitting temperatures over 29 °C, creating an environment that was not only uncomfortable but potentially dangerous for the children. The old central air conditioning system could no longer keep up with the building’s needs, and several independently installed wall-mounted units were functioning erratically.
The challenge was twofold: quickly get the HVAC system back up and running, while also providing a long-term solution that would meet the strict requirements of safety, energy efficiency, and comfort.
Quick diagnostics and a tailored solution: installation of Fujitsu wall-mounted air conditioners
Upon arrival, our team conducted a comprehensive assessment of the existing setup, checking ductwork, wall units, the electrical panel, and airflow. We quickly identified the weaknesses: the duct network was undersized, the older units consumed too much energy, and there was no zoning control system in place.
We recommended a simple, efficient, and perfectly tailored solution: the installation of two 18,000 BTU Fujitsu KZCA high-efficiency wall-mounted air conditioners, Energy Star certified, and fully compliant with the needs of an educational setting.
Why this choice?
The Fujitsu wall-mounted air conditioners from the KZCA series stand out for their ability to maintain stable indoor temperatures even during extreme heat. They’re also quiet, discreet, and come equipped with advanced features such as:
-
Energy-saving mode to reduce power consumption during off-peak hours
-
Antibacterial filters, ideal for environments with children
-
Smart control via remote and mobile app, allowing easy temperature adjustment based on daycare hours
-
Heating capability down to -15 °C, useful during autumn if needed
These units are also eligible for local energy rebates, a benefit we took the time to explain to the director to help reduce the overall investment cost.
Installation process: efficiency and safety above all
Our team proceeded with the installation the day after the estimate was approved. The job was planned to minimize disruption for the children: early morning intervention, secured work areas, and full coordination with daycare staff.
Key steps in the installation:
-
Safe removal of the existing units
-
Drilling and sealing of piping routes with reinforced insulation
-
Mounting of Fujitsu wall units at a secure height, out of children's reach
-
Electrical connection by our RBQ-certified master electrician
-
Full system testing (cooling, airflow, sound level)
-
Staff training on how to use the remote controls and Wi-Fi app
The entire job was completed in under six hours, without disrupting daycare operations.
Immediate results: comfort, silence, and efficiency
The very next day, the difference was obvious: every room enjoyed fast and consistent cooling, the children were back to playing and napping comfortably, and staff no longer had to worry about the indoor heat.
The daycare director told us that several parents noticed the improvement right away and even asked for our contact info for their own homes.
Installation eligible for financial aid
Through the Hydro-Québec LogisVert program, the installation of Energy Star certified air conditioners qualifies for a rebate of up to $1,704 for units of this size. We guided the daycare through the paperwork so they could quickly take advantage of this support.
Testimonial from the director:
“We didn’t know who to turn to, and AirGreen showed up right away. Not only was the team fast and efficient, but they also gave us a long-term solution that was safe and fit our budget. The kids and staff are already feeling the benefits. Thank you to the entire team!”
