Customized acoustic and thermal comfort for a commercial space in the heart of Longueuil
In the world of beauty and wellness, the sound environment is just as important as the ambient temperature. These dual requirements – silence and thermal performance – were exactly what a hair salon in Longueuil wanted to meet when rethinking its heating and cooling system. At AirGreen, we answered the call with a solution that is both aesthetic, efficient, and nearly silent: the installation of a perfectly integrated ceiling cassette indoor unit.
Here’s a detailed look at this HVAC installation, designed to optimize comfort for both customers and staff, while showcasing our team’s expertise and the quiet power of the selected unit.
Why choose a ceiling cassette for a hair salon?
Hair salons, like many commercial spaces, require even air distribution with no unpleasant drafts, a visually discreet system, and above all, absolute silence so conversations and a relaxing atmosphere aren't disrupted.
The ceiling cassette quickly emerged as the ideal solution thanks to its unique advantages:
-
Multidirectional air diffusion for uniform room coverage
-
Unit embedded into a drop ceiling, sleek and aesthetic
-
Extremely low noise level, perfect for noise-sensitive environments
-
Easy access for maintenance, without disrupting business operations

Installation process in Longueuil
1. Needs assessment
Our technicians first visited the salon in Longueuil to evaluate:
-
The total volume of the space
-
The structure of the suspended ceiling
-
Daily foot traffic (number of clients and heat-generating equipment)
-
Aesthetic constraints specific to the interior design
2. Choosing the placement
For optimal comfort, we installed the cassette at the center of the main room, ensuring balanced airflow in all four directions.
3. Installation work
The installation was completed in one day, without disrupting business operations:
-
Ceiling reinforcement to support the unit
-
Connection to the drain line (for condensation)
-
Hook-up to the outdoor unit, located out of sight in the back alley
-
Full system testing, calibration, and client briefing
4. Staff training
We took time to train the salon staff on how to use the remote control, adjust for seasonal changes, and perform simple actions to preserve the equipment's longevity.
Tangible results after installation
Since activation, the feedback from both clients and staff has been extremely positive:
-
Zero noise disturbance: the system runs almost silently, even in a quiet environment
-
Stable temperature: comfort is immediate, summer or winter
-
Preserved aesthetics: the cassette blends perfectly with the suspended lighting and the salon’s minimalist decor
-
Noticeable drop in energy consumption, compared to the older wall-mounted system
