A breath of innovation at the heart of Laval’s new residential developments
In Laval’s newly built condos, homeowners’ expectations in terms of comfort, design, and energy efficiency have never been higher. At AirGreen, we’re noticing a strong trend: floor-ceiling unit installations are becoming an increasingly popular choice in modern residential projects. Combining discretion, performance, and flexibility, this type of HVAC system fits perfectly with the contemporary aesthetic of the open-concept spaces typical of Laval condos.
A solution to the architectural constraints of modern condos
In Laval condominiums, ceilings are often made of concrete, limiting installation options for traditional wall-mounted systems. Moreover, open-plan layouts require systems that can evenly distribute air over a large area. That’s exactly where the floor-ceiling unit stands out.
Flexible installation: floor or ceiling
The greatest strength of this unit lies in its installation versatility. It can be installed near the floor like a console or mounted on the ceiling, allowing for sleek integration without sacrificing wall space—often reserved for decorative elements or large windows.
At AirGreen, we recently carried out the installation of a Mitsubishi floor-ceiling system in a condo on Lévesque Ouest Street in Laval. The unit was mounted flush under a ceiling drop, allowing for optimal air diffusion across an open-concept living space of over 900 square feet. Thanks to its compact design, it blended in seamlessly without disrupting the condo’s minimalist look.
Thermal performance designed for Québec’s climate
The floor-ceiling unit we most often recommend for condos features inverter technology, a high-efficiency compressor, and uses low global warming potential refrigerants like R-32.
Excellent heating and cooling capabilities
Even during winter, when temperatures drop below -20°C, these units maintain stable performance and superior energy efficiency. Our most high-performing models, like the Fujitsu RLF or the Gree U-Match, offer 12,000 to 18,000 BTUs, ideal for spaces ranging from 800 to 1,200 sq. ft.
In a recent installation for a new condo project near the Montmorency metro station, we selected an 18,000 BTU Gree floor-ceiling unit. The challenge was to efficiently heat an open-concept area including a living room, kitchen, and dining room without a central ventilation system. The result: even temperatures, remarkable quietness, and a 35% drop in energy use compared to standard electric systems.
Aesthetic, silence, and enhanced comfort
In Laval’s new condos, interior design is key. Clients don’t want intrusive or unsightly solutions.
Discreet design and absolute quiet
Thanks to their elongated and compact format, floor-ceiling units fit discreetly into recesses, under shelving, or between walls. They also run extremely quietly, with noise levels as low as 22 dB, offering total comfort even at night.
Additionally, these units are equipped with motorized louvers with wide oscillation, ensuring soft and even air distribution without direct drafts.
Eligibility for energy-efficiency grants
Condo owners in Laval may qualify for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert grants when installing these systems. Most of the floor-ceiling units we install meet the required efficiency standards, including:
-
SEER over 16
-
HSPF over 9
-
R-32 or R-454B refrigerant
-
Energy Star certification
In several 2024 projects in the Chomedey and Pont-Viau neighborhoods, our clients received grants ranging from $1,500 to $1,860, significantly lowering their upfront investment.
