Floor consoles that combine comfort, discretion, and performance for homes in Montréal, Laval, and surrounding areas
In Québec households, thermal comfort plays a crucial role in everyday quality of life. At AirGreen, we've seen a growing number of families in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and the South Shore looking for HVAC solutions that are high-performing, quiet, and adapted to our region’s climate. That’s exactly what floor consoles offer—an elegant and efficient alternative to traditional wall-mounted units, often chosen for their visual discretion and consistent performance even during extreme cold.
Here is our selection of the top 5 floor console models, chosen for their performance, reliability, compact design, and ability to meet the specific needs of Montréal families.
Why choose a floor console for your home?
Unlike wall-mounted air conditioners, floor consoles are installed low on the wall, like a baseboard heater, and blend in perfectly in rooms with low ceilings, sunrooms, finished basements, or areas without available wall space up high. They ensure even distribution of hot or cold air, avoiding temperature imbalances—an ideal solution in multi-level family homes or intergenerational residences.
In addition to their energy efficiency, several models are eligible for government grants, such as Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert program, making them both an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option.
1. Fujitsu RGLX 12K/15K/18K BTU – Compact Dual-Flow Series
Perfectly suited to Montréal homes, the Fujitsu RGLX console is known for its ultra-quiet operation, dual airflow (top and bottom), and ability to deliver fast, consistent comfort even at -25°C. Available in 12,000 BTU, 15,000 BTU, and 18,000 BTU versions, it works well in both apartments and single-family homes.
Highlights:
-
High-efficiency Inverter technology
-
Very low sound levels (as low as 22 dB)
-
Stable heating performance down to -25°C
-
Eligible for the LogisVert grant, depending on BTU and efficiency
At AirGreen, we recently installed this model in a century-old home in Outremont, where the wall setup made a wall-mounted unit impossible. The result: a perfect fit under the windows and immediate improvement in family comfort, even during deep freezes.
2. Gree U-Crown Console – 9000 to 18,000 BTU Model
The Gree U-Crown console stands out for its sleek design, smart detection technology, and excellent year-round performance. It’s ideal for families wanting a unit that intelligently adapts to room occupancy and ambient temperature.
Benefits:
-
A++ energy class in cooling mode
-
IFeel function for optimal regulation based on perceived temperature
-
Built-in Wi-Fi control
-
Shallow depth for discreet installation
A recent installation in a Laval home allowed a large family to benefit from an efficient heating system in their basement-turned-playroom. The unit was installed without changing the room layout or sacrificing any wall space.
3. Mitsubishi MFZ-KJ – High-Performance, Compact Console
The MFZ-KJ console from Mitsubishi Electric is a high-end model built for maximum performance in extreme winter conditions typical of the North and South Shores.
Technical Features:
-
Effective heating down to -25°C
-
Dual airflow (top and bottom)
-
Precise temperature control with infrared or wall-mounted remote
-
Available from 9,000 to 18,000 BTU
In a renovated duplex in Longueuil owned by a retired couple, this console replaced an old inefficient electric heater. The result was immediate: lower energy bills, better heat distribution, and improved comfort—especially in rooms facing north.
4. Daikin FVXS – Japanese Efficiency for Comfort
Daikin, a brand known globally for its reliability, offers the FVXS console, a high-performance model with a clean, modern design. It’s perfect for Montréal homes with limited wall-mounting options.
Key Features:
-
Weekly programming for automated management
-
Quiet operation

Rapid heating even during deep cold spells

Easy maintenance thanks to a removable front panel
This unit was installed by AirGreen in a Ville-Marie condo where load-bearing walls and window placement made a wall-mounted system impossible. Thanks to its compactness, the FVXS fit under a bay window without compromising aesthetics or performance.
5. Tosot Lomo Floor – A Budget-Friendly and Efficient Option
For families looking for an affordable solution without sacrificing comfort, the Tosot Lomo Floor is an excellent choice. Offered between 9,000 and 18,000 BTU, it provides fast and efficient heating, ideal for small homes or semi-detached properties.
Advantages:
-
Excellent quality-to-price ratio
-
Integrated air filtration
-
Quiet mode for bedrooms or offices
-
Eligible for certain HVAC tax credits
A family in Brossard contacted us to improve the heating in their open-concept space overlooking the backyard. The Tosot unit was installed in just a few hours beneath a panoramic window, enhancing comfort without obstructing the view.
When is a floor console better than a wall-mounted unit?
Here are typical situations we’ve encountered where a floor-mounted HVAC unit proved to be the best solution:
-
No available wall space up high
-
Presence of large windows or wall décor
-
Unusual or sloped room configurations
-
Need for high-performance heating in a finished basement
-
Renovation projects with architectural constraints
