Emergency HVAC Intervention to Protect Business Continuity for a Prominent Montréal Restaurant Brand
At AirGreen, we’re accustomed to swiftly responding to urgent air conditioning demands, especially during summertime heatwaves in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and the South Shore. This summer, our expertise was put to the test by a critical situation: a well-known Montréal restaurant chain suffered a major HVAC breakdown during peak summer business hours, directly threatening their operational continuity.
Faced with this extraordinary challenge, our teams demonstrated their capacity to respond efficiently, delivering immediate and lasting technical solutions.
The Initial Crisis: A Major Breakdown Threatening Multiple Montréal Establishments
During this heatwave, with daily temperatures exceeding 35°C in Montréal, we received an urgent call from the technical management of a renowned restaurant chain. Several of their locations in Ville-Marie, Plateau-Mont-Royal, and Rosemont-La Petite-Patrie simultaneously experienced failures of their aging HVAC systems.
The direct consequences were severe:
-
Massive loss of clientele due to extreme thermal discomfort.
-
Health risks related to food safety, given the rapid rise in kitchen temperatures.
-
Direct threat to the company's reputation and revenue.
AirGreen’s Quick and Targeted Response: Strategic Installation of Fujitsu and Carrier Heat Pumps
Following a precise on-site diagnostic, our team rapidly identified the cause of the breakdown: outdated, poorly maintained air conditioning systems pushed beyond their limits in extreme heat conditions. With this assessment, we quickly implemented a comprehensive emergency solution, involving:
-
Rapid installation of Fujitsu KETA Series wall-mounted heat pumps (24,000 BTU) in the main dining areas.
-
Installation of a Carrier Infinity 25VNA4 central heat pump (48,000 BTU) in the kitchen to guarantee optimal temperature regulation.
-
Effective coordination with Hydro-Québec to promptly activate the eligible LogisVert grants for the installed equipment.
