A ceiling cassette installation in Longueuil that changed a homeowner’s daily life
At AirGreen, we have the privilege of transforming not only homes but also the quality of life of our clients through efficient, discreet, and tailored HVAC solutions. In this article, we’re sharing the story of a Longueuil resident who chose to install a premium ceiling cassette unit to tackle the summer heat while preserving the aesthetic and discretion of their interior space.
This client testimonial perfectly illustrates the real benefits of ceiling cassette indoor units, as well as our personalized and meticulous approach to residential HVAC installation on the South Shore of Montréal.
Why choose a ceiling cassette in Longueuil?
The client, the owner of a renovated condo in downtown Longueuil, was looking for a quiet, efficient, and unobtrusive cooling solution. His main criterion? Preserve the aesthetics of his suspended-ceiling living room while ensuring optimal comfort during heat waves.
After a detailed assessment of the layout of the home, our team recommended the installation of a 4-way ceiling cassette unit, perfectly suited to this type of space. This option combined performance, visual discretion, and even air distribution.
Technical details of the installation
Brand and model installed
We installed a Fujitsu RGLX 18,000 BTU ceiling cassette, a unit known for its compact design, low energy consumption, and highly effective 360-degree airflow. This unit, paired with a high-efficiency outdoor Fujitsu heat pump, allows the home to be cooled in the summer and heated in the winter, with an impressive seasonal energy efficiency rating (SEER 20 / HSPF 10.3).
Available grants
Thanks to its high energy performance rating, this installation qualified for the LogisVert grant from Hydro-Québec, allowing the client to receive up to $1,704 in financial aid. Our team handled all the administrative procedures, which greatly simplified the process for our client.
Configuration and ceiling integration
The cassette was integrated into an existing opening in the suspended ceiling, minimizing the need for structural work. We carefully coordinated the routing of the refrigerant lines, drainage, and electrical wiring with the existing ceiling grid, avoiding any visible traces or major modifications to the structure.
Duration of the work
The work was completed in a single day, including preparation, installation of both the indoor and outdoor units, performance testing, and a full walkthrough for the client on how to use the system.
The result: invisible comfort, outstanding efficiency
The client told us that, for the first time since moving into this condo, he was able to fully enjoy the summer without relying on fans or noisy window ACs. Thanks to the 360° airflow, the temperature is even throughout the space, with no unpleasant drafts. The wall-mounted remote allows for intuitive control of temperature and fan speeds.
Client testimonial
“Honestly, I didn’t think something so discreet could be this powerful. What I love the most is that I barely hear anything—and I barely see anything either. AirGreen was professional from start to finish. My summer in Longueuil was completely transformed!”
Why choose a ceiling cassette?
Optimal air distribution
Unlike standard wall-mounted units, a ceiling cassette distributes air evenly in all directions, making it ideal for open spaces or large rooms.
Visual discretion
Only the decorative grille is visible, flush with the ceiling. This solution is perfect for modern or design-conscious environments where clutter is not welcome.
Year-round heating and cooling
Thanks to reversible heat pump technology, these units can cool in the summer and heat efficiently in winter, even when outdoor temperatures drop significantly.
Our tips for a successful installation
-
Check your ceiling height: a cassette unit typically requires at least 12 inches (30 cm) of clearance.
-
Choose a reputable brand like Fujitsu, Daikin, or Mitsubishi to ensure durability.
-
Have a professional heat load calculation done to select the right BTU rating.
-
Trust your installation to a certified company like AirGreen to ensure compliance with electrical codes, manufacturer warranties, and optimized performance.
