A discreet, high-performance HVAC system that adds value: a smart choice for discerning South Shore homeowners
In an increasingly competitive real estate market on the South Shore, every detail matters when it comes to increasing the value of a home. Among the many possible upgrades, installing a ducted HVAC system offers a modern, elegant, and long-lasting solution. At AirGreen, we’ve helped many homeowners in Longueuil, Brossard, Saint-Lambert, Boucherville, and Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville by providing customized installation of high-performance ducted systems that enhance not only interior comfort but also the market value of their property.
Invisible elegance: a powerful selling point
One of the main advantages of a ducted system is its discretion. Unlike wall-mounted heat pumps or visible console units, a ducted system is fully integrated into ceilings or walls, with only subtle air vents visible. This aesthetic integration preserves the architectural harmony of a space—something that particularly appeals to buyers looking for a clean and modern design.
In a recent project in Saint-Lambert, a family wanted to modernize their home built in the 1980s. We installed a 36,000 BTU Fujitsu ducted system, with ducts hidden in the main floor ceiling. The result: uniform thermal comfort in every room, without compromising their newly renovated interior.
Uniform thermal comfort: a feature buyers appreciate
Another undeniable advantage is the even temperature distribution that a ducted system provides. Thanks to centralized air distribution, every room enjoys a stable and pleasant climate, year-round. This ambient comfort is often seen as a luxury by visitors and adds significant perceived value during a home sale.
At AirGreen, we use cutting-edge technology like Bosch BOVA R-454B units or Goodman R-32 systems, both known for their energy efficiency and eligibility for government rebate programs.
Increased perceived value through energy efficiency
In a context of rising energy costs, energy efficiency has become a top priority for buyers. When properly sized and installed, modern ducted systems can lead to substantial savings on heating and cooling bills.
Take the example of an installation we completed in Boucherville: a 1,800 sq. ft. bungalow in need of a complete HVAC upgrade. We chose a high-efficiency 36,000 BTU Goodman system, paired with a central heat pump using the more environmentally friendly R-32 refrigerant. Thanks to this upgrade, the customer saw a 30% reduction in annual energy costs and received a $5,000 LogisVert grant from Hydro-Québec.
A smart investment: a guaranteed return
While the initial cost of a ducted HVAC system may be higher than that of a wall-mounted AC or mini split, the return on investment is very real. A study by APCHQ shows that a quality central HVAC system can add up to 8 to 10% to a home’s resale value in desirable residential sectors on the South Shore.
Add to that the financial incentives offered by provincial and federal governments (like the Chauffez Vert or Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert programs), and you’ve got a winning solution across the board: performance, aesthetics, and added value.
A customized system tailored to your home’s layout
At AirGreen, we understand that every home is unique. That’s why our experts carry out a full thermal analysis, taking into account the surface area, orientation, insulation, and occupant habits. This ensures optimal installation, with no oversizing or energy waste.
We recently worked with a couple in Saint-Bruno-de-Montarville looking to improve comfort in their intergenerational home. Their need: a discreet, efficient solution that could cool and heat two separate floors. We proposed two independent zones, each with smart thermostats, powered by a 60,000 BTU Bosch BOVA central system. The result: personalized comfort on each floor and a fully enhanced home.
Professional installation: the key to success
A high-performance ducted system only works properly when installed by a qualified team. At AirGreen, our certified technicians handle every step with precision: accurate sizing, custom ductwork, duct insulation, air balancing, and controlled system startup.
We document every project, like the one completed in Longueuil, where we had to work around a complex ceiling structure. Thanks to our expertise, we integrated all ductwork without modifying the existing framework while maintaining maximum efficiency. This kind of execution showcases our ability to adapt our methods to real-world constraints and deliver flawless results.
Rebates and savings: maximize your benefits
Installing a ducted system can make you eligible for several government rebates. In 2025, Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program offers up to $5,000 for installing a high-efficiency central system, depending on your location and the home’s characteristics.
We assist our clients through every step of the application process, from the initial energy evaluation to final paperwork submission. This turnkey service is highly appreciated, as it speeds up the process and maximizes savings.
