A quiet reliability gaining ground in Greater Montréal’s HVAC landscape
In the field of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC), some brands make a lot of noise with aggressive marketing campaigns, while others, like Haxxair, slowly make their mark through product quality and user satisfaction alone. At AirGreen, we’ve had the opportunity to install and service Haxxair wall-mounted heat pumps in numerous homes across Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, as well as the North Shore and South Shore, and the results have consistently impressed us.
Still relatively unknown to the general public in Québec, this brand is increasingly favoured by many HVAC professionals. Why? Because behind its quiet image lies reliable, durable technology that’s perfectly suited to Québec’s climate needs. Let’s dive into the reasons behind its growing success.
Haxxair technology: efficiency that delivers performance
A compressor built for northern climates
Haxxair wall-mounted heat pumps are equipped with high-performance compressors designed to withstand extreme temperatures, going as low as -30°C. This technical feature, far from being minor, is a major advantage for the harsh winters in Montréal and surrounding areas.
Many competing models lose efficiency when the mercury drops, forcing homeowners to rely on secondary heating. In contrast, Haxxair units maintain stable heating capacity even in deep cold, making them a perfect choice for single-family homes or multiplexes on the North Shore.
Certified energy efficiency
Haxxair isn’t just reliable—it’s also economical. With an average SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) of 22 to 26, depending on the model, and an HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) often exceeding 10, these units meet the most stringent energy efficiency standards, making them eligible for various government grants, particularly through Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program.
What installers love: simplicity, durability, and accessibility
A design made with technicians in mind
One aspect often overlooked by consumers but critical for HVAC installers is how easy a system is to install and maintain. Haxxair offers units that feature simplified access to internal components, significantly reducing labour time and, as a result, lowering client costs.
Fewer service calls, more trust
At AirGreen, after installing dozens of Haxxair wall-mounted heat pumps throughout Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, and surrounding regions, we’ve seen an extremely low rate of post-installation issues or returns. This operational reliability, combined with an excellent manufacturer’s warranty (up to 10 years on the compressor), further reinforces professionals’ trust in the brand.
Case study: a successful installation in Sainte-Thérèse
We recently completed an installation of an 18,000 BTU Haxxair wall-mounted heat pump in a Canadian-style home in Sainte-Thérèse, on the North Shore. The client’s goal was to replace an aging wall-mounted air conditioner with a more efficient solution capable of providing reliable auxiliary heating in winter.
Project challenges:
-
Limited access to the exterior wall, requiring an elevated bracket installation.
-
Partially insulated home, demanding a unit capable of efficiently heating uneven spaces.
-
Client was working within a strict budget.
Our solution:
-
Recommended model: Haxxair 18,000 BTU, SEER 23, HSPF 11.3.
-
Installation completed in one day, including wall drilling, refrigerant line connection, pressure testing, and commissioning.
-
LogisVert grant application submitted by our team on behalf of the client.
The result? A more comfortable indoor temperature, virtually silent indoor unit, and an immediate drop in electricity consumption. The client, impressed by the value for money, recommended us to two of their neighbours.
A unique position in Québec’s HVAC market
Comparable quality to top brands, at a better price
Unlike some high-end brands like Fujitsu or Daikin, Haxxair delivers highly competitive performance at a cost generally 20 to 30% lower. For families in Montréal or Laval looking to maximize return on their HVAC investment, this is a smart choice.
Local support and fast availability
Haxxair products are well distributed across Québec, with strong local inventory and fast after-sales service. This allows professionals like us to provide fast installations even during peak seasons, such as spring and fall.
When should you choose Haxxair for your HVAC project?
We recommend Haxxair wall-mounted heat pumps in the following situations:

You’re looking for a reliable and affordable solution without sacrificing performance.
-
You live in an area with harsh winters like Laval or the North Shore.
-
You want to benefit from grants while keeping your upfront costs low.

Customer testimonial: long-term satisfaction in Longueuil
Ms. R. contacted us in Longueuil to install a 12,000 BTU Haxxair unit in her condo. She previously had an old, noisy, and energy-hungry unit. After a quick assessment, we replaced the system in under six hours. Three months later, she emailed us to say she had saved nearly 30% on her electricity bill. Another clear example that quality and affordability can go hand in hand.
