An inside look at the rigorous and exciting daily life of an AirGreen expert in HVAC installation in Montréal
At AirGreen, no two days on the job are alike—but they all share one common thread: professionalism, technical precision, and a commitment to customer satisfaction. Today, we’re opening the doors to the daily routine of one of our technicians specializing in wall-mounted heat pumps in Montréal. It’s a fascinating dive into a profession that’s often misunderstood, requiring discipline, adaptability, and HVAC expertise. Discover how, in just one day, one of our experts can transform the comfort of a home with a careful, safe, and high-performance HVAC installation.
Meticulous preparation before hitting the road: organization and equipment
The day starts early for our technician. At 6:30 a.m., he checks the schedule provided by our coordination office: a wall-mounted heat pump installation in a triplex in Rosemont, an HVAC maintenance visit in a condo in Griffintown, and a technical evaluation for a residential project in Outremont.
Before leaving:
-
He inspects the equipment in his vehicle (indoor unit, mounting base, electrical wiring, insulated piping, refrigerant).
-
He reviews the plans provided by our project manager.
-
He contacts the first customer to confirm the arrival time.
Every detail matters. Forgetting a single part can jeopardize the entire job. Our technician knows he represents AirGreen in front of the client: punctuality, professional appearance, courteous attitude.
HVAC installation in a Rosemont triplex: precision and expertise
Arriving on-site at 8:00 a.m., our technician is greeted by a homeowner couple who recently moved into a vintage triplex. The project: install a Gree Lomo 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump, perfectly suited to the needs of their 800-square-foot unit.
Key steps of the installation:
-
Assessing the wall structure and any obstructions (plumbing, electrical, insulation).
-
Precisely marking the optimal location for the indoor unit.
-
Mounting the bracket, drilling and routing insulated piping through the wall.
-
Installing and connecting the outdoor unit in the backyard, placed on an anti-vibration base.
-
Electrical connection with a dedicated breaker, voltage check, and proper grounding.
-
System startup test: nitrogen pressure test, vacuum draw, refrigerant charge (R-410A).
After two and a half hours of methodical work, the system is up and running. The client is impressed by the quiet operation of the unit, the even room temperature, and the attention to detail at every step.
HVAC maintenance in a Griffintown condo: prevention before repair
At 11:45 a.m., it’s off to downtown Montréal. In a modern high-rise, our technician has a scheduled preventive maintenance visit for a Fujitsu KZAH 9,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump installed by AirGreen two years ago.
Tasks completed:
-
Deep cleaning of the air filters and fins.
-
Inspection of the refrigerant circuit, pressure check and leak detection.
-
Airflow verification, electrical connection check, and condensate drain inspection.
-
Personalized usage advice to help the client optimize energy consumption.
The result: a heat pump in excellent condition, operating at peak performance, ready to tackle Montréal’s summer heat.
Technical evaluation in Outremont: expertise and client listening
After a quick lunch break, our technician heads to Outremont, to a century-old house. The client is considering installing two high-efficiency wall-mounted heat pumps to improve thermal comfort while taking advantage of LogisVert government grants.
The technician’s role during an evaluation:
-
Accurately measuring the rooms to be cooled.
-
Identifying problem areas (stone walls, old windows, poor insulation).
-
Proposing the correct unit sizing (18,000 and 24,000 BTU) with strategic placements.
-
Assessing the complexity of the electrical and wall penetrations.
-
Providing a detailed report to the project manager for quote preparation.
Though no installation is done during this visit, it’s a crucial step: it ensures a successful future HVAC installation, tailored to the space and in full compliance with standards.
End of the day: return to the depot, reports, and coordination
At 5:00 p.m., our technician returns to our Montréal-East depot. He drops off unused equipment, completes technical reports for each job, and chats briefly with the team about the next day’s schedule.
A demanding but rewarding profession:
-
Every day brings new technical challenges.
-
The variety of locations (plexes, condos, heritage homes) makes each project unique.
-
Human connection, client trust, and immediate satisfaction make the work deeply fulfilling.
