A wall-mounted heat pump: much more than just a heating or cooling system
At AirGreen, we understand that Quebec homeowners are looking for durable, efficient, and accessible solutions to keep their homes comfortable year-round. While wall-mounted heat pumps are growing in popularity across Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore, several of their most valuable advantages often remain unknown. In this article, we reveal five surprising benefits of wall-mounted heat pumps that might just change the way you think about home heating and cooling.
1. Continuously improved indoor air quality
Contrary to popular belief, a wall-mounted heat pump doesn’t just heat or cool your air. Most modern models—like the Fujitsu KZAH R-32, Gree Extrême, or Sharp ZU1—come with built-in air filtration systems. These filters capture fine dust, allergens, pollen, and even some air pollutants.
This is a major advantage for homes with young children, elderly residents, or anyone suffering from asthma or allergies. In areas like Montréal or Laval, where urban pollution can affect indoor air, this feature becomes a top reason to invest.
Real example: During a recent installation in Longueuil, a couple told us their children suffered frequently from allergic rhinitis. After installing a Gree Sapphire 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump with an ionizing filter, symptoms noticeably decreased within just a few weeks.
2. A significant reduction in indoor humidity
In Quebec, excessive indoor humidity is a common issue—especially during the hot, sticky summer months. A wall-mounted heat pump also acts as a dehumidifier, even if manufacturers don’t always highlight this.
Controlling humidity not only improves your physical comfort but also helps protect furniture, wooden floors, and prevents mold growth.
Real-life case in Saint-Eustache: A client on the North Shore replaced his old portable AC with a Bosch BIVA IDS Premium 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump. The result: indoor humidity dropped by 10% in the main rooms, creating a more comfortable atmosphere—even at slightly higher temperatures.
3. Whisper-quiet performance—even at full power
Modern wall-mounted heat pumps are designed to operate at near-silent levels, making them perfect for bedrooms, home offices, or open-concept living spaces.
Models like the Sharp ZU1 15,000 BTU or the Fujitsu KZAH reach noise levels as low as 19 decibels—quieter than rustling leaves.
Client feedback in Verdun: One customer, who works from home, was worried about potential noise from the unit in her office. After we installed a Gree Lomo wall-mounted heat pump, she thanked us for recommending such a quiet model—it allowed her to focus without distraction.
4. A reversible unit eligible for government grants
Many homeowners don’t realize their wall-mounted heat pump can qualify them for valuable financial incentives, like Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program. To be eligible, the unit must be ENERGY STAR certified, operate efficiently in heating mode down to -8°C, and be installed by a certified contractor.
At AirGreen, we handle every step: helping you choose the right model, confirming grant eligibility, submitting paperwork, and tracking the application. Several of our clients on the South Shore have recently received up to $1,860 in grants, significantly reducing their total project cost.
Installation in Brossard: For a family who chose a Gree Extrême 24,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump, our team managed the entire grant process. The result: a fast, efficient project—and a $1,860 grant applied directly to the final invoice.
5. Fast, clean, and minimally invasive installation
Unlike central HVAC systems, installing a wall-mounted heat pump is often completed in a single day. Our certified technicians work with precision to minimize disruption inside your home, while guaranteeing a professional, durable, and safe installation.
Example in Montréal (Plateau Mont-Royal): In a century-old duplex, we installed a Fujitsu 12,000 BTU wall-mounted unit without touching the historical structure of the walls. The client was impressed by how clean the job site was, how quickly it was done, and that no wires or piping were visible.
How to choose the right wall-mounted heat pump?
Choosing a wall-mounted heat pump depends on several important factors:
-
The surface area to cover (BTU requirements)
-
Orientation of the home
-
Thermal insulation of the building
-
Available budget and grant eligibility
-
Brand preferences (Fujitsu, Gree, Sharp, Bosch, etc.)
-
Desired features (quiet operation, dehumidification, Wi-Fi connectivity)
At AirGreen, we assess each situation individually to recommend the model that matches your exact needs, your comfort level, and your budget.
