One Day, One Console, One Happy Client: A Closer Look at a Successful HVAC Installation in Montréal
At AirGreen, our mission is clear: to deliver efficient, fast, and long-lasting HVAC solutions to our clients in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore, and the South Shore. Today, we’re sharing a concrete example of a successful project: the installation of a floor console HVAC unit in just one day in a residential home in Montréal, carried out with precision, expertise, and close attention to detail. This project perfectly represents our commitment to high-quality service, fast turnaround, and optimal performance.
The Context: A Discreet and Efficient HVAC Solution for a Montréal Condo
We were contacted by a couple living in a condo in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighbourhood of Montréal. Their request was straightforward: replace an old electric baseboard heater with a more energy-efficient, visually discreet, and architecturally appropriate heating and cooling solution (low ceilings, limited space, co-ownership).
After a thorough on-site assessment by our certified technicians, we recommended a floor console from Fujitsu, model RL2 (12,000 BTU). This model offers excellent energy efficiency, quiet operation, and fits perfectly in tight spaces — ideal for urban residential projects.
Why Choose a Floor Console?
Floor consoles are an elegant alternative to traditional wall-mounted units. Here's why more and more clients in Montréal and surrounding areas are choosing them:
-
Low-wall installation, perfect for rooms with limited ceiling height
-
Even air distribution thanks to dual air outlets (top and bottom)
-
Compact and sleek design that blends easily with any interior
-
Easier HVAC maintenance access
-
Compatible with multi-zone heat pump systems
Installation Process: Precision and Efficiency in Just One Day
On-Site Evaluation and Planning
We started with a technical site visit to assess the electrical setup, thermal insulation, and the location for the outdoor unit. This step is crucial to ensure a code-compliant HVAC installation with no surprises.
Preparing the Worksite
Our team arrived at 8:00 AM on installation day. We protected the floors, shut off the electricity, and confirmed access points—nothing was left to chance. The indoor unit was to be installed in the living room, replacing an old convector heater.
Installing the Indoor Unit
We proceeded with the wall-mounted installation of the floor console, discreetly routing the refrigerant lines through a load-bearing concrete wall. This required specialized tools (diamond core drill) and a meticulous approach to avoid noise and dust.
Setting Up the Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit was installed on the rear balcony, using anti-vibration mounts. Special attention was given to soundproofing, a key element to preserve neighborhood peace and quiet.
Connections, Commissioning, and Testing
Refrigerant and electrical connections were completed following the highest safety standards. After purging the system, we pressurized and fully commissioned the system. The result: a fully operational system by 4:00 PM, ready to deliver comfort and performance.
