Why is the Elios Wall-Mounted Heat Pump Quietly Becoming a Favorite Among Montrealers?

Unmatched energy performance paired with remarkable discretion

In the competitive world of wall-mounted heat pumps in Montreal, one brand is quietly gaining ground thanks to its energy efficiency, easy installation, and silent reliability: Elios. Without flashy ad campaigns or exaggerated marketing claims, this Italian brand is making its way into homes and residential buildings across Greater Montreal, from Laval to the South Shore, as a sustainable, affordable, and above all, perfectly adapted solution for our Quebec climate.

A smart response to Montrealers' needs

At AirGreen, we’ve noticed over the course of our installations that many clients are looking for a heating and cooling solution that combines performance, energy efficiency, and discreet design. The Elios wall-mounted heat pump, with its compact models, low power consumption, and quiet operation, checks every box.

We’ve installed several Elios units in single-family homes in Rosemont, modern condos in Griffintown, and even traditional triplexes in Villeray. Every time, the client is impressed by the quiet operation and how quickly the temperature is regulated—even during deep winter.

Tech specs: What hides behind its quiet exterior

The most popular Elios models offer capacities ranging from 9,000 to 24,000 BTU, making it easy to tailor the system to any room or living space. All models include:

  • A high-efficiency inverter compressor

  • Intelligent defrosting technology, ideal for harsh Montreal winters

  • A “silent” mode that limits sound levels to just 21 dB

  • An A++ energy rating for cooling and A+ for heating

  • Compatibility with the new R-32 refrigerant, which has a low environmental impact

A real-life example: AirGreen project in Saint-Léonard

A concrete example: At Mrs. T.’s home, a bungalow in Saint-Léonard, we recently installed a 12,000 BTU Elios wall-mounted heat pump to replace an old central air conditioning system that had become inefficient. The challenge: complete the installation without disrupting the ongoing interior renovations.

Our team completed the entire installation in a single day, routing the conduits through the basement’s drop ceiling without damaging any existing walls. The result: optimal comfort, an immediate 22% drop in energy bills in the first month, and a customer thrilled with the silent performance, especially appreciated during the night.

Why Montrealers are switching to Elios heat pumps

One of Elios’ greatest strengths is its versatility. Unlike other brands that require precise configuration or costly add-ons, Elios offers a smart plug-and-play system, perfectly suited for both new installs and replacements.

Our clients also love:

  • The minimalist design, which fits seamlessly into modern interiors

  • Eligibility for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert grants, which can reach up to $1,704 depending on the model

  • The intuitive remote control, with optional Wi-Fi connectivity

  • The sturdy build quality, tested for winters as cold as -25°C

Successful installations across Montreal and beyond

Our technicians have installed Elios models in a variety of neighborhoods, each with their own unique challenges:

  • In Ahuntsic, in a triplex with limited wall space, we used a reinforced wall bracket to save space in the backyard.

  • In Brossard, for a large family, we installed two units connected to a single dual-zone compressor, avoiding the need for multiple outdoor units.

  • In Laval, a client needed an ultra-quiet solution for his home office. The 9,000 BTU Elios was the perfect fit.

Energy savings and available grants

Thanks to their inverter technology and optimized operation, Elios wall-mounted heat pumps can help you save up to 30% on annual energy bills, compared to traditional electric heating systems.

In addition, many models are eligible for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert rebate, a program aimed at encouraging energy-efficient home upgrades. AirGreen handles the entire administrative process, so you can benefit from the rebate hassle-free.

Maintenance tips to extend your Elios heat pump's lifespan

A well-maintained heat pump can easily last over 15 years. Here’s what we recommend:

  • Clean the filters every 6 weeks

  • Have your system inspected annually by an AirGreen technician

  • Check refrigerant levels every 2 to 3 years

  • Clean the outdoor unit thoroughly in spring and fall

AirGreen also offers a comprehensive annual maintenance package, including a full wash, calibration, and technical check-up. It’s a smart investment to protect your equipment long term.
