Breathe Better in Longueuil Without Blowing Your Budget: Affordable Ventilation Solutions for All
In Longueuil, just like across the South Shore, maintaining good indoor air quality has become a top priority for many families. Whether it’s to prevent allergies, reduce humidity, or simply improve daily comfort, efficient ventilation is essential. However, many hesitate to invest in costly systems, assuming that air quality comes with a hefty price tag.
At AirGreen, we prove every day that it’s possible to enjoy a high-performing, affordable ventilation system, even on a modest budget. Thanks to our expertise in HVAC installation, we’ve helped many families in Longueuil enhance their indoor comfort without compromising their finances. Here are 8 practical and affordable tips we regularly recommend to our clients.
Optimize the Use of Your Existing HRV
A poorly maintained or poorly calibrated Heat Recovery Ventilator (HRV) can waste energy while being inefficient. Our certified technicians perform precise calibrations to adjust airflow based on your home’s actual needs.
AirGreen Tip:
We recommend professional cleaning of your HRV at least once a year, especially in dense residential areas like Longueuil (Greenfield Park, Vieux-Longueuil, Saint-Hubert), where urban dust builds up more quickly in the ducts.
Install Low-Resistance Vent Grilles
Wall or ceiling grilles used in many older homes restrict airflow, which forces your system to consume more energy for the same output.
Our Advice:
Opt for grilles with optimized airflow and have your ducts checked for potential blockages. This small change improves overall ventilation and can lower your energy bill.
Use Natural Ventilation Smartly
Taking advantage of cross-ventilation (opening windows on opposite sides of your home) at the right time of day can reduce the need for mechanical ventilation. However, this method is only effective when the outdoor air quality is good.
What We Recommend:
Install an indoor air quality monitor (CO₂, fine particles, humidity) to know when to ventilate naturally without compromising your comfort.
Choose Low-Consumption Wall-Mounted Ventilation Systems
In Longueuil, we’ve installed decentralized wall-mounted ventilation systems in several small homes and condos. They consume little energy, are easy to install, and allow for room-by-room ventilation.
Recent Examples:
-
Installation of a Zehnder ComfoAir 70 system in a condo in Vieux-Longueuil.
-
Wall-mounted ventilation Blauberg Vento Expert for a child’s bedroom in Saint-Hubert.
These units offer built-in heat recovery and require minimal maintenance.
Check the Airtightness of Existing Ductwork
Poorly sealed ducts lead to significant air loss, which undermines the efficiency of your ventilation system.
Typical AirGreen Intervention:
In a Greenfield Park home, we completely resealed the ducts of an HRV installed in 2009. The result: a 21% increase in airflow, with no additional energy consumption.
Invest in Smart Ventilation Controls
Smart thermostats or HVAC controllers allow you to schedule ventilation based on occupancy or humidity peaks. It’s a small investment with a great long-term return.
Tip:
We recommend devices like Panasonic Cosmos™ IAQ, which are very easy to integrate into existing systems.
Regularly Clean Air Vents and Filters
Dust or mold buildup in air vents significantly harms indoor air quality and forces your system to work harder.
Cost-Effective Service:
Our residential HVAC maintenance service in Longueuil includes vent cleaning, HEPA filter replacement, and a visual inspection of the system, often completed in under an hour.
Take Advantage of Available Grants
Some financial aid programs, like Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program, can cover part of the costs to upgrade your ventilation system. In Longueuil, several clients received up to $1,600 in grants for installing or upgrading their ventilation system.
What We Do at AirGreen:
We support each client through the grant application process, including photos, proof of purchase, and installation certificates.
