Elegant, powerful, and discreet solutions for optimal indoor comfort
At AirGreen, we’ve always focused on innovation to provide our clients with the best HVAC solutions available in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore. The arrival of smart ceiling cassette indoor units marks a major advancement in the world of indoor comfort. This technology, once reserved for high-end commercial environments, is now perfectly suited for Québec homes seeking performance, discretion, and energy efficiency.
What is a smart ceiling cassette?
A ceiling cassette is an indoor unit of a central or wall-mounted heat pump installed in the ceiling, usually at the center of the room, for even air distribution. It is embedded in a drop ceiling or suspended ceiling, with only the decorative grille visible. The smart version goes even further: presence sensors, multi-zone control, Wi-Fi connectivity, compatibility with home automation systems (Google Home, Alexa), and automatic adjustments based on room occupancy or ambient temperature.
Why are these cassettes becoming popular in Montréal?
In Montréal and the surrounding areas, modern interior design favors solutions that are invisible yet effective. Cassettes perfectly meet this demand by combining power, silence, and architectural integration. Unlike traditional wall-mounted heat pumps, they don’t affect wall aesthetics while offering 360-degree air diffusion.
The main advantages of smart cassettes
Discreet and integrated design
One of the biggest strengths of ceiling cassettes is their discretion. The unit is fully integrated into the ceiling, allowing for complete freedom in interior design, whether in modern homes or commercial offices.
Even air distribution
Thanks to their four-way airflow system, cassette units provide consistent comfort throughout the room, without cold or overheated zones. This capability is especially useful in large open-plan spaces, which are very common in recent constructions in Montréal and Laval.
High energy efficiency
The models we install at AirGreen, such as the GREE U-Match Cassette R-32 or the Fujitsu Airstage Mini Cassette, include next-gen inverter compressors and low environmental impact refrigerants (R-32, R-454B). The result: high seasonal performance (SEER/HSPF) and lower bills.
Eligibility for grants
The smart cassettes installed by AirGreen are often eligible for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert grants, which can go up to $5,000 when replacing a less efficient system. Our advisors handle eligibility verification and prepare all the paperwork to help you benefit from these programs.
Real-life examples of installations completed by AirGreen
Residential project – Outremont, Montréal
In a large renovated century-old home in Outremont, we installed two Fujitsu 18,000 BTU cassette units connected to a high-efficiency central heat pump. Integration into a wood beam ceiling required careful structural modifications, handled in collaboration with the project’s carpenters. The result: optimal comfort with no aesthetic compromises.
Commercial project – Laval
A dental clinic in Laval was looking for a quiet and discreet solution for its treatment rooms. We installed four GREE U-Match cassette units of 12,000 BTU each, all equipped with presence sensors and a central control system. The system automatically adjusts the temperature based on occupancy, reducing energy use outside of consultation hours.

Common challenges and solutions provided by AirGreen
Installing smart ceiling cassettes is no simple task. It requires:
-
Sufficient ceiling space (min. 10 to 12 inches)
-
A solid structural support
-
Proper condensation drainage
-
Easy access for maintenance
Our technicians always take the time to conduct a thorough site inspection before proposing a solution. If the ceiling is too low, we turn to console or discreet wall-mounted models. If the structure is complex, we work closely with architects to ensure a safe and uncompromised installation.
