Integrating a High-Efficiency Ducted System in a Laval Home: A Sustainable, Discreet, and Powerful Solution
As responsible energy consumption becomes a growing priority for many households in Laval, the demand for eco-friendly and high-performance HVAC systems continues to rise. At AirGreen, we respond to these evolving expectations with tailored solutions designed to meet the thermal needs, comfort requirements, and architectural layout of each home. The recent installation of an eco-friendly central ducted heat pump system in a single-family house in Laval is a perfect example of this.
A Major Project in the Heart of Laval: Optimizing Comfort Without Compromising Aesthetics
Our teams were tasked with upgrading the heating and air conditioning system of a bungalow located in the Chomedey neighborhood of Laval. The homeowners, eager to reduce their carbon footprint while enhancing home comfort, chose a state-of-the-art central ducted heat pump that complies with the strictest environmental standards.
They selected the Bosch BOVA 36-60 (R-454B) model, well-known for its outstanding performance, quiet operation, and compatibility with low-loss ducted systems. This system stands out thanks to its high seasonal efficiency (SEER 20, HSPF 10.5), low-noise output, and ability to maintain even temperatures across all rooms.
Why Choose a Ducted System for a Residential Home?
The central ducted HVAC system is an ideal solution for homes where aesthetics are a priority, without compromising performance. It offers several major benefits:
-
Absolute discretion: only ventilation grilles are visible.
-
Even comfort: uniform air distribution thanks to a well-designed duct layout.
-
Increased energy efficiency: precise temperature control and reduced thermal losses.
-
Increased property value: homes equipped with central HVAC systems generally have a higher resale value.
In this Laval home, we took advantage of the crawlspace to install a network of insulated flexible ducts, ensuring excellent thermal insulation and a noticeable reduction in airflow noise.
Project Challenges: A Technical Installation in a Tight Space
One of the main challenges of this project was the limited crawlspace. To overcome this, our technical team designed a custom network using a combination of galvanized sheet metal ducts and flexible sections. This hybrid design allowed for optimal airflow while meeting the architectural constraints of the building.
Additionally, the selected heat pump system is compatible with multi-zone smart thermostats, so we created a three-zone configuration (main living space, bedrooms, basement), allowing finely tuned comfort control throughout the day.
A System Eligible for Environmental Rebates
Thanks to its use of R-454B refrigerant, which has a significantly lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared to older generations of refrigerants, this system qualifies for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program. Homeowners in Laval can receive up to $5,000 in financial assistance for the installation of a high-efficiency central system.
Customer Testimonial: “AirGreen Has Transformed Our Home”
“From the very first meeting, the AirGreen team understood our needs and guided us toward a sustainable solution. The installation was flawless, clean, and hassle-free. The comfort is exceptional, and the home is now perfectly tempered, year-round.”
