A ceiling cassette that blends aesthetics and performance thanks to AirGreen’s expertise
Installing a ceiling cassette unit in a residential or commercial space should never come at the expense of aesthetics. At AirGreen, we strongly believe that a successful HVAC installation is just as much about energy performance as it is about visual harmony within a space. This principle guides every one of our projects, whether in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, or on the North Shore and South Shore.
Today, we’re giving you a behind-the-scenes look at one of our most representative projects: the installation of a ceiling cassette heat pump in a high-end home located in Boucherville, on the South Shore of Montréal. With our technical expertise and an uncompromising aesthetic approach, we delivered optimal comfort for our client while preserving the architectural integrity of their interior.
Why choose a ceiling cassette for your HVAC system?
Ceiling cassette units are the ideal solution for those looking to combine energy performance, visual discretion, and even air distribution. Installed flush in the ceiling, these units free up wall space while delivering excellent air coverage. They are particularly well-suited for environments where aesthetics are paramount: modern offices, contemporary living rooms, upscale condos, and commercial spaces.
However, their integration requires a high level of precision. A poorly executed installation can lead to visible misalignments, poor air circulation, or unwanted noise. That’s why calling on an experienced team like AirGreen is essential.
Boucherville Project: a custom installation
The challenge: integrate without altering the design
In this contemporary Boucherville residence, the client wanted year-round thermal comfort, while maintaining the clean lines of their suspended ceiling. The ceiling already featured sophisticated recessed lighting, and any modifications had to respect this configuration without adding visual clutter.
Equipment selection
We chose a FUJITSU AUHG12LVLA 4-way cassette, a discreet 12,000 BTU unit, perfect for efficiently cooling open areas with barely perceptible noise. This model offers:
-
Multi-directional airflow distribution (4 adjustable louvers),
-
Ultra-quiet operation,
-
A minimalist design with a discreet white finish panel,
-
High energy efficiency, eligible for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert grants,
-
Compatibility with standard 600 x 600 mm ceiling tiles.
Technical steps of the installation
Integration was completed in several phases:
-
Ceiling analysis: we located joists, existing wiring, and ventilation ducts to ensure a central unit placement with no interference.
-
Opening preparation: the ceiling was cut with millimetric precision to install the cassette without any overhang or gaps.
-
Indoor unit mounting: installed using anti-vibration hangers for silent operation.
-
Refrigerant line connection and discreetly sloped gravity condensate drain installation.
-
Electrical wiring to the main panel, compliant with Québec’s Electrical Code.
-
Full system testing: pressure checks, airflow control, and wall-mounted remote calibration.
Result: a powerful and invisible system
The result is a perfectly integrated unit into the ceiling: barely visible to the eye. The client now enjoys even comfort, both in summer and winter, without ever compromising on interior design. No disturbing noise, no uncomfortable temperature fluctuations. A complete success.
