A Strategic HVAC Solution for Savvy Homeowners in Montréal
In today’s Montréal real estate market—where competition is fierce and buyers are increasingly focused on energy efficiency and smart technology—adding a multi-zone heat pump can become a powerful lever to boost your home’s resale value. At AirGreen, we see this regularly during our on-site installations: properties equipped with a modern, quiet, high-performance HVAC system consistently attract more attention, whether in Laval, Longueuil, or on the North Shore and South Shore.
Why Are Multi-Zone Heat Pumps So Attractive to Potential Buyers?
Installing a multi-zone heat pump lets you control multiple zones or rooms in your home independently, providing customized comfort for each occupant. This flexibility is highly valued by families and owners of larger homes. But beyond comfort, this system is seen as a long-term investment, aligning with the environmental and economic concerns of today’s buyers.
Key advantages highlighted when marketing a property equipped with a multi-zone heat pump include:
-
Improved energy efficiency, resulting in lower monthly heating and cooling costs.
-
Optimized comfort in every room, with independent temperature control.
-
Reduced noise levels, compared to older systems.
-
Potential government grants, including Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert programs.
-
Enhanced eco-friendly image of the property.
Case Study: An AirGreen Project in Outremont
We recently completed a full installation of a GREE Free Match multi-zone heat pump in a century-old home in Outremont. This multi-story property had specific needs: a damp basement, poorly ventilated attic, and a main living area with large, south-facing windows.
Our team designed a custom multi-zone configuration, combining:
-
One GREE Free Match 36,000 BTU outdoor unit (R-32, high efficiency)
-
Three Gree Lomo Ultra wall-mounted heads of 12,000 BTU each, tailored to the size of each room
-
A central remote with Wi-Fi capability for smart control via smartphone
The result: perfectly balanced thermal comfort throughout the house, design integration that respected the interior aesthetic, and over 30% reduction in energy consumption based on the homeowner’s initial utility bills. This upgrade was featured in the property’s listing, and the home sold for above asking price within 3 weeks of being listed.
How a Multi-Zone Heat Pump Impacts Property Appraisals
Real estate appraisers factor in heating and cooling systems when evaluating a property. A home equipped with a modern multi-zone HVAC system from a trusted brand like Fujitsu, Gree, or Bosch is given a higher perceived value, especially when accompanied by proper documentation such as installation records, maintenance history, and proof of energy performance.
Moreover, in many Montréal neighborhoods with homes built before 1970, the presence of a heat pump is viewed as a major upgrade, reassuring buyers about the overall quality of the home.
Grants and Savings: Strong Selling Points at Resale
Another value-boosting factor is the availability of grants for homeowners who install eligible multi-zone heat pumps. At AirGreen, we assist our clients with the process of applying for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert financial assistance, which can amount to several thousand dollars. These incentives are a powerful selling point and can, under certain conditions, be transferred to the new owner.
Mistakes to Avoid If You Truly Want to Increase Your Property’s Value
Installing a multi-zone heat pump is an excellent decision, but it’s important to avoid common pitfalls that could reduce its impact at resale:
-
Choosing an unknown or unreliable brand, which may raise concerns with buyers
-
DIY installation or hiring an uncertified contractor, which often voids warranties and disqualifies the system from grants
-
Neglecting the aesthetic integration of indoor units, especially in key spaces like the living room or master bedroom
-
Failing to include technical details of the heat pump in the real estate listing, even though it’s a crucial selling feature

Client Testimonial: “Our House Sold Faster Than Expected”
Ms. Bélanger, owner of a duplex in Villeray, contacted us in 2023 to install a Fujitsu KLT 36,000 BTU multi-zone heat pump with three independent zones. When she sold a few months later, the real estate agent highlighted the HVAC system as a key differentiator in the listing. The result: 14 viewings in one week and a firm offer on day 8.
