Choosing a reliable wall-mounted heating and air conditioning system is crucial when living in a region like Greater Montreal, where extreme temperature fluctuations occur between winter and summer. At AirGreen, we’ve noticed a significant increase in requests for Goodman wall-mounted heat pumps, especially from homeowners tired of constant breakdowns with their old systems. This article dives into this very real issue and explores whether the Goodman wall-mounted heat pump truly represents a long-lasting, hassle-free solution for residents of Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore.
A Rise in Service Calls for Frequent Breakdowns: A Recurring Pattern
In recent months, our team at AirGreen has received a growing number of calls from clients dealing with frequent breakdowns of their older heating or air conditioning systems. Several well-known brands, poorly installed or simply poorly maintained, have resulted in expensive repair bills and uncomfortable temperature instability.
In one such case, a client from Châteauguay (South Shore) contacted us after experiencing four breakdowns in less than two years with a heat pump they had bought at a big-box store. Our recommendation: a Goodman wall-mounted heat pump, installed to the highest standards by our certified team.
Why Choose the Goodman Brand for Your Wall-Mounted Heat Pump?
The Goodman wall-mounted heat pump has become a staple in the industry for several technical and practical reasons:
-
Proven reliability: Goodman units are built to last, with robust components and North American manufacturing quality.
-
Inverter technology: allows more precise temperature control, reduced energy consumption, and extended compressor lifespan.
-
10-year compressor warranty: peace of mind backed by one of the best warranty programs on the market.
-
Ease of maintenance: easy filter access, protected circuit boards, and built-in electronic diagnostics.
Installed Model: A Real-World Example of a Successful Installation
During a recent job in Laval-des-Rapides, our team completed the installation of a Goodman 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump (model GVZ12XH). This project followed many issues the client had encountered with a previous uncertified system installed by a general contractor.
Challenges Faced:
-
Old electrical wiring that didn’t meet code
-
Limited access to the exterior wall
-
Interior layout with very little space for a wall unit
Solutions Provided by AirGreen:
-
Complete wiring replacement by a licensed electrician
-
Custom wall bracket installation to reduce footprint
-
Optimal wall unit positioning for even air distribution
The result: the client now enjoys stable temperatures, a quiet system, and, most importantly, zero breakdowns for over 14 months. The unit was installed in full compliance with Hydro-Québec requirements, making the client eligible for a LogisVert rebate of $1,376.
Rebates and Energy Efficiency: A Smart Investment
Goodman wall-mounted heat pumps are eligible for several financial assistance programs available to residents of Montreal and surrounding areas, including:
-
Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert Program
-
Rénoclimat rebates
-
Provincial tax credits (MAPAQ, Transition énergétique Québec)
Performance ratings for models like the Goodman GVZ12XH or GVZ18XH (18,000 BTU) reach SEER ratings of 21 and HSPF ratings above 10, exceeding the minimum requirements for most rebate programs. This type of investment can lead to annual energy savings of 25 to 40%, depending on the building’s insulation.
Signs It Might Be Time to Replace Your Old Heat Pump
Here are some red flags we often observe among our clients:
-
Noisy system or unusual vibrations
-
Frequent shutdowns or short cycling
-
Uneven room temperatures
-
High electricity bills
-
Needing multiple repairs per year

The client immediately noticed a quieter environment and significantly improved comfort.
Practical Advice Before Installing a New Wall-Mounted Heat Pump
-
Choose the right BTU capacity: improper sizing is one of the top causes of long-term failure.
-
Check the quality of your electrical wiring: an upgrade may be necessary.
-
Schedule regular maintenance: at least once a year, including coil cleaning, pressure checks, and drainage verification.
-
Hire a certified installer: installation quality is often more crucial than the unit itself.
