Expertise Built Through Hands-On Experience and Ongoing Training
At AirGreen, we firmly believe that excellence in the installation and maintenance of wall-mounted heat pumps starts with rigorous technical training and a continuous commitment to improvement. In a market as competitive as that of HVAC in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore and South Shore, our approach stands out through the precision of our work, the expertise of our teams, and our ability to handle even the most complex situations. Let’s take a behind-the-scenes look at our training process: here’s how we turn motivated technicians into true wall-mounted heat pump specialists.
Recruitment: Selecting the Right Candidates from the Start
The journey begins well before the first unit is installed. At AirGreen, our recruitment process is designed to identify profiles that are curious, precise, and capable of adapting to the demands of residential and commercial HVAC.
Key Selection Criteria
-
Basic knowledge in electricity and building mechanics
-
Ability to solve problems in the field
-
Strong interest in energy efficiency and new technologies
-
Willingness to learn and commit to ongoing training
A Structured Training Program, Both In-Class and On-Site
We’ve developed an internal integration program at AirGreen, combining advanced theory and practical learning. This program is supported by solid partnerships with manufacturers (notably Fujitsu, Gree, Lennox, Midea), as well as our daily experience in the Montréal, Laval, and Longueuil areas.
Technical Training Modules
-
Operation of wall-mounted heat pumps: principles of aerothermal systems, refrigeration cycles, the role of inverter technology
-
Reading and interpreting electrical diagrams
-
Troubleshooting common failures and corrective actions
-
Installation procedures compliant with CSA and RBQ standards
-
Preventive maintenance for heat pumps: coil cleaning, airflow checks, unit calibration
Field Immersion with Experienced Technicians
Each new technician spends a minimum of 3 months partnered with a senior AirGreen expert. This mentorship covers:
-
Complex installations (flat roofs, multiplexes, hard-to-access spaces)
-
Varied environments (condos in Montréal, single-family homes in Laval, businesses in Longueuil)
-
Adjustments related to cold-climate performance, particularly in the North and South Shores
Ongoing Skills Development
Wall-mounted heat pump technologies evolve rapidly, as do government regulations on energy efficiency and eco-friendly refrigerants (like R-32 and R-454B).
Mandatory Periodic Training
-
Updates on LogisVert grant programs and eligibility criteria
-
Revisions to provincial building codes
-
Manufacturer training on new models
-
Quarterly internal professional development sessions
Diagnostic Simulations and Real-Life Scenarios
We incorporate practical simulations to prepare technicians to effectively respond to:
-
Sudden breakdowns in the middle of winter
-
Poor prior installations

Issues with air infiltration, humidity, or improper condensate drainage
Constant Technical and Human Support
Beyond initial training, AirGreen is committed to providing its technicians with personalized guidance throughout their career progression.
Supervision and Quality Control
-
Every heat pump installation is validated by a supervisor
-
Random audit visits are conducted to ensure HVAC installation quality
-
Customer feedback is systematically reviewed to improve future service
Internal Tech Platform and Real-Time Support
Our technicians have access to an exclusive technical database, including:
-
Technical sheets of major installed models (Sharp, Gree, Midea, Lennox, etc.)
-
Documented troubleshooting procedures
-
Real-time assistance from our technical support team in Montréal
Concrete Results in the Field
Case Study: Installation of a Gree Heat Pump in Laval
A client in Laval contacted us to replace an old defective unit. The assigned technician, trained at AirGreen for 6 months, quickly identified a misaligned drainage pipe, which was causing internal leaks.
After correcting the issue, he installed a Gree Extreme 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump, strictly following all sealing and anchoring protocols. The client stated in their testimonial:
“The technician explained everything, worked cleanly and efficiently. I noticed the difference immediately in temperature and consumption.”
This kind of positive feedback directly reflects the quality of our training program.
