The Perfect Balance Between Discretion and Power: A Successful HVAC Installation in Montreal
At AirGreen, we faced a unique challenge during an installation in a home in Montreal, where the client wanted a powerful heat pump, but also one that was discreet. The goal was to enjoy the benefits of an effective heating and cooling system while minimizing the visual impact of the unit. This challenge led us to combine performance, comfort, and discretion in a custom HVAC solution.
The Client’s Expectations: Discretion and Power
The client, a family living in a residential neighborhood in Montreal, wanted to improve the energy efficiency of their home by installing a heat pump, while minimizing the visual impact of the unit. The objective was to maintain a comfortable temperature year-round with a device powerful enough to cover the entire house, but without sacrificing the aesthetic of the living space.
Choosing the Model: A Compromise Between Power and Aesthetics
After discussing the client’s specific needs, we chose a Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump with 18,000 BTU. This model has several advantages:
-
Energy Efficiency: The Fujitsu model offers excellent COP (coefficient of performance), ensuring optimal energy use with relatively low operating costs.
-
Discretion: Its wall-mounted design allows for discreet integration into the space, while still offering optimal performance for medium to large-sized areas.
-
Inverter Technology: This model uses Inverter technology, which adjusts the compressor speed based on room temperature, preventing frequent on-and-off cycles and enhancing overall comfort.
The challenge was that, while choosing a unit with 18,000 BTU, we needed to ensure that the installation remained discreet and in harmony with the home’s design. A unit that was too bulky or poorly placed could compromise the aesthetic of the room while failing to meet heating or cooling needs.
The Installation: A Precise Job
Once the model was chosen, our team got to work. The main challenge was finding the optimal location for the Fujitsu heat pump while ensuring the unit’s performance. We opted for a side wall in the living room, a strategic location that allowed for even air distribution while minimizing the visual impact.
Here are some key details of the installation:
-
Optimal Placement: We installed the unit on a side wall, away from high-traffic areas, while ensuring that cool and warm air would be evenly distributed throughout the room.
-
Discretion: The Fujitsu wall-mounted unit was carefully integrated into the decor, blending perfectly with the room’s design thanks to its sleek color and modern look.
-
Thermal Performance: After installation, the unit was tested to ensure it maintained a consistent temperature throughout the house, including the more distant rooms from the thermostat.
The installation took about a day, and the clients immediately noticed an improvement in their thermal comfort, along with a reduction in heating and cooling costs.
The Results: Maximum Efficiency with Minimal Impact
The results of this installation exceeded the client’s expectations. Not only was the Fujitsu heat pump able to maintain a comfortable temperature in all areas of the house, but the discreet installation preserved the interior aesthetic. Here’s what the client noticed after the installation:
-
Improved Comfort: The system provided consistent heat in the winter and pleasant coolness in the summer, without the temperature fluctuations seen with less powerful or poorly sized systems.
-
Reduced Energy Costs: Thanks to the Inverter technology and the energy efficiency of the model, their monthly energy bills significantly decreased.
-
Aesthetic Preserved: The wall-mounted unit was perfectly integrated into the room’s design, seamlessly blending into the space without disturbing the overall look of the house.
This project demonstrated the importance of truly understanding a client’s unique needs and recommending solutions that balance performance, aesthetics, and discretion.
