Why BOSCH Central Heat Pumps Are Taking Over the Suburbs of the South Shore

A smart choice for superior comfort in the suburbs of the South Shore

Over the past several months, we’ve seen a sharp rise in requests for BOSCH central heat pump installations in residential areas across the South Shore of Montréal—particularly in Brossard, Saint-Hubert, Longueuil, and Saint-Lambert. What’s behind the hype? It’s a central HVAC system (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) that combines energy efficiency, quiet performance, and German reliability. At AirGreen, we’ve completed several projects like these throughout the suburban neighborhoods of the South Shore, and each time, the results speak for themselves.

Technical overview of the BOSCH BOVA central system – modern performance at its finest

The standout model is the BOSCH BOVA 20 SEER, a central inverter heat pump running on R-410A refrigerant. This unit is compatible with a wide variety of electric or gas furnaces, making it a versatile solution for single-family or duplex homes.

Some of its most appreciated features include:

  • Variable-speed compressor that delivers ultra-quiet operation, with noise levels around 56 dB.

  • Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of 20, offering cooling performance that surpasses most standard systems.

  • Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF) of 10, delivering significant energy savings even during Québec’s harsh winters.

  • Inverter technology that adjusts the compressor speed based on real-time demand, ensuring better thermal comfort and reduced mechanical wear.

This system is eligible for multiple grants, notably the Hydro-Québec LogisVert program, which can provide up to $6,000 for complete projects, depending on eligibility criteria.

Case Study: Central BOSCH heat pump installation in Saint-Constant

A recent project completed by our AirGreen team perfectly illustrates the value of this solution. A retired couple in Saint-Constant wanted to replace their old, energy-hungry electric heating system with something more efficient and high-performing.

Technical challenges we faced:

  • The existing ductwork was over 30 years old and couldn’t handle the airflow required by the BOSCH BOVA.

  • The mechanical room was tight, making it trickier to install the indoor unit.

  • Accessing the exterior wall for the compressor line required precise coordination with the electrician and mason to go through a brick façade without damaging it.

Our custom solutions:

  • Full reconfiguration of the main ducts and installation of a custom-designed distribution plenum to meet airflow needs.

  • Wall-mounted indoor unit installed on a reinforced bracket to optimize floor space.

  • Special anchoring techniques used for the outdoor wall exit, ensuring a flawless finish.

The entire project was completed in two working days, including full system testing and precise calibration of the Wi-Fi-compatible programmable thermostat.

Why is it so popular in the suburbs? It fits the suburban lifestyle perfectly

Homes on the South Shore are generally larger than those on the island of Montréal, making a central heating and cooling system the ideal solution. The BOSCH central heat pump is especially well-suited for:

  • Single-family homes, either bungalow-style or multi-story (typically between 1,500 and 2,500 sq. ft.).

  • Families looking for even comfort in every room, with no hot or cold spots.

  • Homeowners wanting to reduce their electricity bills while increasing the resale value of their homes.

Plus, BOSCH has a solid reputation, which reassures many customers making such a significant investment.

Our concrete commitments:

  • Personalized thermal analysis for every project

  • Transparent quotes with no hidden fees

  • Full management of grant applications (Hydro-Québec, municipalities, etc.)

  • Post-installation technical support and annual maintenance options

Frequently asked questions: What clients often want to know

Does the BOSCH central heat pump perform well in winter?

Yes. Thanks to its inverter compressor, it delivers consistent performance down to -20°C. For extreme cold, we offer an integrated electric furnace backup.

Is it noisy?

Not at all. The BOSCH system is one of the quietest on the market, far quieter than a traditional wall-mounted AC.

How long does installation take?

On average 2 to 3 days, including electrical work and full system testing.

Is it more beneficial than a wall-mounted system?

For medium to large-sized homes, yes. The comfort is even, management is centralized, and energy use is optimized across the entire home.

The takeaway: BOSCH and the South Shore, a winning match

Far from a passing trend, the rise of BOSCH central heat pumps across the South Shore reflects a perfect alignment between local homeowner needs and the system’s strengths. By choosing AirGreen, you get professional installation, tailored support, and access to the best available grants.
