A tailor-made HVAC solution for a contemporary home on the South Shore
At AirGreen, we know that every HVAC installation project is unique. For this job in Brossard, on Montréal’s South Shore, we were contracted to equip a modern two-story home with a central heat pump system from the Elios brand—a high-performance, energy-efficient choice perfectly suited for the needs of new or renovated residential constructions.
Our client, the owner of a recently built home, wanted a discreet, quiet, and efficient solution to ensure year-round thermal comfort. After a personalized assessment of their needs, we recommended installing a central Elios heat pump, a smart choice that combines energy performance, grant eligibility, and seamless integration with modern architecture.
Why choose a central heat pump from Elios?
The Elios brand, well-known in the field of central heating and air conditioning, offers systems specifically designed for Québec’s harsh winters and hot, humid summers. In this Brossard home, we installed a 36,000 BTU Elios central heat pump, capable of maintaining uniform comfort throughout the house—from the basement to the upper level.
Technical specifications of the installed unit:
-
Capacity: 36,000 BTU
-
Type: central heat pump with high-efficiency coils
-
Refrigerant: R-410A, pending upgrade to R-32 for future models
-
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio): 17
-
HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor): 9.5
-
Noise level: low, ideal for quiet residential neighborhoods
-
Eligibility for LogisVert grants: YES ($2,357 for this installation)
Key stages of the installation in Brossard
1. Full technical evaluation of the home
Our team began with a thorough thermal analysis of the house. Using modeling tools, we calculated the ideal heating and cooling load. This allowed us to properly size the Elios unit and optimize the existing air duct system.
2. Preparation and adaptation of the ductwork
Although the house already had a duct system, it wasn’t fully compatible with a modern central heat pump. We therefore carried out a full cleaning, followed by reinforced insulation of the main ducts, ensuring even air distribution without energy loss.
3. Installation of the outdoor and indoor units
The Elios outdoor unit was placed on a raised concrete slab, protected from frost and weather. The indoor unit was installed in the mechanical room, with easy access for future maintenance. Both were connected by insulated copper refrigerant lines.
4. Integration of the smart thermostat and system calibration
We integrated a Wi-Fi smart thermostat, allowing the client to control room-by-room temperatures directly from their phone. After installation, our technicians performed a series of performance and pressure tests, ensuring the system ran smoothly and efficiently.
Challenges encountered and solutions delivered
The main challenge in this installation was the limited attic space, where part of the air distribution network had to pass. Instead of modifying the structure, we opted for flexible insulated ducts, easier to maneuver in tight areas, while still maintaining excellent thermal efficiency.
Another consideration: the client wanted to minimize noise, especially near the bedrooms. We selected an outdoor unit with an Inverter compressor, much quieter than conventional models, and added an acoustic panel inside the mechanical room walls.
A sustainable and energy-efficient solution for the South Shore
This Brossard installation once again demonstrates our expertise in central heat pumps, and our ability to design highly customized solutions. Thanks to the Elios central heat pump, this family now benefits from:

Practical tips for owners of modern homes
Before installing a central heat pump:
-
Have your ductwork inspected: a well-insulated system improves overall performance
-
Choose the right capacity: too powerful, the unit wears out prematurely; too weak, it won't heat properly
-
Look into available grants: some heat pumps like the Elios models can qualify for financial incentives up to $2,500
-
Choose a certified installer with RBQ and TEQ certifications, like AirGreen
