A discreet yet remarkably efficient solution to optimize the thermal comfort of your home
At AirGreen, we install and maintain HVAC systems (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) throughout Greater Montréal, including Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore. Among the emerging brands catching our attention—and that of many homeowners—the Tosot central heat pump stands out for its energy efficiency, quiet operation, reliability, and discretion in the market. Today, we're opening the door to a world still too little known, but which deserves the full attention of Quebec households seeking performance and comfort.
A brand on the rise in the residential HVAC world
Tosot, the premium division of the Chinese group Gree Electric Appliances, combines solid industrial expertise with an innovation strategy tailored to North American standards. Its range of central heat pumps is gaining popularity among single-family homes and small rental properties thanks to its excellent quality-price ratio, proven reliability, and easy compatibility with existing ductwork.
Technical features of the Tosot central heat pump
We often recommend models from the Tosot T-VRF and T-GC series, available in various capacities, generally ranging from 24,000 to 60,000 BTU, to meet most residential needs. Here are some technical features that make this central heat pump particularly attractive:
-
Inverter Technology: enables modulated and quieter operation while ensuring reduced energy consumption.
-
Energy Efficiency (SEER and HSPF): Tosot models boast SEER ratings over 16 and HSPF ratings above 9, making them eligible for grants.
-
Toshiba-GMCC Compressor: known for its durability and reliable performance, even in harsh Quebec winters.
-
Heating operation down to -25°C, making it perfectly suited to the region’s tough climate.
-
Integrated Wi-Fi Smart Control: remote control via an intuitive mobile app.
A look back at a recent installation in Blainville (North Shore)
In a recent project in Blainville, a retired couple wanted to replace their old oil-fueled forced-air system with a greener, more economical, and especially quieter solution. After a full thermal analysis, we recommended a Tosot 36,000 BTU central heat pump, perfectly suited to the size of their home.
Challenges encountered:
-
The air distribution plenum had to be modified to accommodate the new evaporator.
-
The home's electrical system had to be upgraded to meet power requirements (adding a 40A breaker and dedicated wiring).
-
Special care was taken with acoustic insulation around the outdoor unit to reduce vibrations and noise.
Results:
-
Immediate improvement in thermal comfort, especially with humidity control.
-
A 35% reduction in their energy bill over the first few months.
-
Very positive feedback on the extremely low noise level, even overnight.
-
The project was eligible for Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program, which earned the clients a $2,460 grant.
Why choose the Tosot central heat pump?
A smart choice for renovation or new construction
Whether for an energy-efficient retrofit or a new build, integrating a Tosot central heat pump helps achieve the following goals:
-
Significant heating cost reductions compared to gas or oil systems.
-
A centralized and discreet system, with no visible wall units.
-
Increased property value, particularly in resale scenarios.
Easy maintenance and long-term reliability
At AirGreen, we emphasize the importance of regular HVAC system maintenance to ensure optimal operation. Tosot heat pumps are designed with easy access to components, making technician work easier and reducing maintenance costs for homeowners. The filters are washable, the electronic components well protected, and error diagnostics are simple thanks to a clear and accessible code system.

One of the major advantages of the Tosot central heat pump is that it is eligible for several grants, including:
-
Hydro-Québec's LogisVert: up to $2,460 for replacing a fossil fuel system.
-
Rénoclimat Program: stackable, based on energy evaluation.
-
Chauffez Vert: up to $5,000 for eliminating fossil fuels.
We assist each client with the administrative process, from verifying eligibility criteria to submitting installation proof.
Our tips before choosing a Tosot central heat pump
-
Have your thermal needs assessed by a certified professional (like our team at AirGreen).
-
Ensure your air ducts are in good condition and properly sized to avoid heat loss.
-
Plan a budget for electrical upgrades, often required during replacements.
