A new era of indoor comfort is settling in Laval with smart floor-ceiling units
At AirGreen, we’re proud to be part of the evolution of the HVAC sector by offering installations that combine technology, comfort, and energy efficiency. Recently, we had the opportunity to install a next-generation connected floor-ceiling unit for a residential client in Laval—a project that perfectly showcases the shift toward smart, customizable comfort. This article dives into the details of that installation and explains why these new units are transforming the heating and cooling market in the Greater Montréal area.
Why choose a connected floor-ceiling unit?
Floor-ceiling units stand out for their installation flexibility and powerful air distribution, all while taking up a minimal amount of wall space. The latest generation we install comes with smart features, allowing for precise control via Wi-Fi, mobile apps, or even voice assistants.
Key advantages:
-
Remote control (smartphone, tablet, etc.)
-
Smart scheduling based on your lifestyle
-
Energy savings thanks to built-in sensors
-
Flexible installation: floor or ceiling position
-
Even air distribution, even in large rooms
-
Compatible with central heat pumps or multi-zone systems
In our recent installation in Laval, we installed a FUJITSU floor-ceiling unit, model ABYG18KRTA, compatible with the new eco-friendly R-32 refrigerant, making it a choice that is both high-performance and environmentally responsible.
Technical details of the Laval installation
Client profile:
Owner of a single-family home in a residential neighborhood in Laval. Their goal was to improve comfort in their cathedral-style living room with high ceilings, while maintaining a clean, minimalist wall aesthetic.
Machine selection:
We recommended the FUJITSU ABYG18KRTA model (18,000 BTU), known for its ultra-quiet operation, multi-directional air diffusion, and seasonal energy efficiency (SEER 20 and HSPF 10.5).
Technical features:
-
High-efficiency Inverter technology
-
Connected wall-mounted remote control with intuitive interface
-
"Powerful Mode" for quick temperature rise
-
Dual installation options (floor or ceiling)
On-site challenges and solutions
One of the major challenges of this installation was the architectural layout of the room: sloped wall, high ceiling, and very little usable wall space. Thanks to our extensive experience in residential HVAC across Laval, we opted for a ceiling-mounted installation, ensuring optimal air distribution without compromising the furniture layout or aesthetics.
We also needed to enhance the soundproofing of the outdoor unit to comply with municipal noise regulations. We installed anti-vibration mounts, a discreet enclosure, and reorganized the piping layout to minimize visual impact outside.
Why is this technology taking off in Laval?
More and more homeowners in Laval, as well as on the North Shore and South Shore, are looking for smart, efficient, and space-saving solutions. The connected floor-ceiling unit is becoming a high-end alternative to traditional wall-mounted systems, especially in rooms with high ceilings, modern condos, or small commercial spaces.
An installation eligible for government grants
Another major advantage of this installation: it is eligible for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program, which offers up to $1,860 in grants for high-efficiency systems. With our administrative support, the client was able to take full advantage of this financial assistance, significantly reducing their project cost.

“I was looking for a discreet yet powerful solution to heat and cool my living room without using up my wall space. The AirGreen team offered exactly what I needed. The comfort is incredible, I control everything with my phone, and the installation is super clean. Well done!” – M. Leduc, Laval
Our professional tips for a successful project
Before installing a floor-ceiling unit, here are a few recommendations:
-
Have your needs evaluated by a specialist: room size, insulation, and sun exposure all play a key role.
-
Choose a unit compatible with R-32 or R-454B for higher efficiency and lower environmental impact.
-
Check for local grant eligibility (we can help with this).
-
Ensure unobstructed airflow around the unit for optimal performance.
