The discreet elegance of floor-ceiling systems: an ideal HVAC solution for design-conscious interiors in Laval
In the field of residential heating and air conditioning in Laval, one unit stands out for its sleek design, flexible installation options, and energy efficiency: the floor-ceiling indoor unit. Increasingly favored by interior designers and architects in Québec, this solution integrates seamlessly into modern residential environments where style and performance must coexist without compromise. At AirGreen, we recently installed this type of system in a high-end home located in the Val-des-Arbres neighborhood of Laval, and the results were as visually refined as they were technically impressive.
Why the floor-ceiling unit is gaining popularity in Laval
Laval is a city where expectations for thermal comfort go hand-in-hand with refined architectural considerations. In newer homes, ceilings are sometimes sloped, walls are often adorned with full-height windows, and clients prefer to avoid the sometimes bulky look of traditional wall-mounted units.
That’s where the floor-ceiling unit truly shines:
-
It can be mounted close to the floor like a classic console, or on the horizontal ceiling, offering maximum flexibility.
-
Its discreet form blends into the space without clashing with the décor.
-
It provides multidirectional airflow, ensuring even air distribution throughout the room.
In the installation we completed in Laval, we positioned the unit on the lower part of the north wall in the living room, just beneath a large bay window, for uninterrupted thermal comfort without obstructing the view.
Technical details of the Laval installation
For this project, our AirGreen team installed a Gree brand floor-ceiling unit, model U-Match, with a capacity of 18,000 BTU, connected to an outdoor Gree GMV5 compressor, optimized for superior energy efficiency and compliant with Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert grant program.
-
Model installed: Gree U-Match floor-ceiling 18,000 BTU
-
Energy class: A++ in cooling mode, A+ in heating mode
-
Refrigerant used: R-32, environmentally friendly with a low GWP
-
Grant eligibility: Yes, up to $1,704 under LogisVert criteria
-

Challenges and solutions on-site
Every project comes with its own set of challenges. In this case, the chosen location for the indoor unit required maximum discretion. Since the wall was adjacent to a glass section, we had to:
-
Adapt the mounting bracket for a lightweight structure without excessive drilling.
-
Route the condensate drain through an existing partition, without compromising aesthetics.
-
Use a discreet rooftop outlet for the refrigerant line.
Thanks to our team of experts in HVAC installation in Laval, we were able to deliver a result that was both efficient and visually refined, with no compromises on design.
Client testimonial: the perfect blend of comfort and style

“I’m thrilled with the result. The unit is practically invisible and provides consistent comfort—even in the heart of January. I now recommend AirGreen to all my clients.”
