This system is extremely energy-efficient because it uses electricity only to move heat , not to generate it. It can provide up to three times more heat or cooling per kilowatt consumed than a conventional electric heating system or gas furnace. This results in optimized energy use.

Thanks to its high efficiency, a central heat pump can significantly reduce your heating and cooling costs . Over the course of a year, you'll see substantial savings on your electricity or heating oil bills, making the investment very profitable in the long run.

This same system provides heating in the winter and air conditioning in the summer . You only need one unit to manage to maintain the ideal temperature in every season, simplifying your life and ensuring year-round comfort in Montreal's varied climate. Say goodbye to sweltering summers and freezing winters – the central heat pump adjusts to your needs at all times.

By using a well-designed ductwork system, the central heat pump eliminates hot and cold spots in the home by distributing air evenly. In addition, the system helps to continuously filter and dehumidify the indoor air. This maintains a balanced humidity level and reduces the risk of mold growth, thus improving indoor air quality for your family.

By using less energy for the same level of comfort, central heat pumps reduce your home's carbon footprint. Here in Quebec, electricity is primarily renewable, meaning that running a heat pump emits very few greenhouse gases. The newer refrigerants used (such as R-32 or R-454B) are also less polluting than older ones. Choosing a central heat pump is therefore a concrete step for the environment while enjoying a greener home.

At AirGreen, we adapt our estimation method to the type of project , not the other way around. Our goal is simple: to give you a fair, realistic, and applicable price , without approximations or unpleasant surprises.

• Standard replacement : when the existing system is comparable (same type of ducts, similar power, known configuration), we can carry out a quick online estimate from photos, technical information, plans or a detailed exchange with you.
  
• Complex or custom project : when there are technical uncertainties, significant modifications to be expected or access constraints, we prefer an on-site visit in order to properly assess every detail.
  

In all cases, the estimate is 100% free , without pressure and without obligation.

The complete and detailed submission is usually submitted within 24 hours.

When ductwork is already in place (existing forced-air furnace), we analyze the entire system , not just the machine:

• the general condition and sizing of the air ducts
  
• the actual compatibility of the network with a modern central heat pump
  
• the condition of the refrigeration pipes , fittings, supports and insulation
  
• the configuration and capacity of the existing power supply
  

We pay particular attention to conversion situations (e.g., from oil or gas heating to a 100% electric system).

In these cases, the central heat pump and electric furnace often require:

• higher capacity electrical wiring
  
• suitable circuit breakers
  
• Sometimes an upgrade to the electrical panel or the addition of dedicated circuits is required.
  

💡 AirGreen Key Point

Even when an estimate is carried out remotely, our teams always arrive on site with all the necessary equipment , including:

• new refrigeration piping
  
• fittings, supports and insulation
  
• electrical cables of various gauges
  
• appropriate circuit breakers and electrical components
  

If we find on site that certain existing elements (pipes, electrical wires, protections, connections) are inadequate, undersized or worn , we correct the situation immediately , safely and in accordance with regulations, without improvisation and without delaying the installation .

Our priority is simple: to ensure a reliable, safe and durable installation, perfectly suited to your building and the actual requirements of the installed system.

Once the model is selected and the quote approved, our team carries out a complete, structured and methodical installation:

• safe and compliant installation of the outdoor unit
  
• optimal integration of the indoor unit (evaporator, plenum, existing furnace or new configuration)
  
• precise connection of refrigeration lines, drainage and electrical supply
  
• mechanical and structural adjustments as needed
  

Even if some conditions differ slightly from the initial assessment (more complex access, aging components, supports to be modified), we do the job correctly from the first visit , with a sustainable and professional approach.

Before considering the work complete, we carry out a thorough and rigorous commissioning :

• refrigeration circuit leak tests
  
• verification of pressures and operating parameters
  
• tests in heating and cooling modes
  
• precise thermostat and control settings
  

We also take the time to explain things clearly to you :

• the system's operation
  
• recommended settings according to the seasons
  
• basic maintenance to be performed
  
• best practices to maximize lifespan and efficiency
  

Our goal: that you feel completely comfortable and confident with your new central heat pump from day one.

The installation is just the beginning.

AirGreen offers a structured and reliable after-sales service , including:

• periodic preventive maintenance
  
• accessible technical support
  
• quick repairs when needed

A well-installed and well-maintained central heat pump can operate for 15 to 20 years , and our team remains available throughout the life of your system to advise you, intervene and optimize its performance.

It is crucial to choose a model whose heating/cooling capacity (expressed in BTU/h or "tonnes") matches the square footage and volume of your home. An undersized heat pump will not provide sufficient heating in the depths of winter, while an oversized model will cost more and operate inefficiently (cycles that are too short, less effective dehumidification in summer). To determine the correct capacity, several factors are considered: square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, number of windows, home orientation, etc. As a guideline , a 1.5-tonne (18,000 BTU/h) central heat pump is generally suitable for approximately 600 to 800 square feet, while a 5-tonne (60,000 BTU/h) model can heat/cool a residence of 2,800 to 3,200 square feet. Our experts will perform a precise thermal load calculation in order to offer you an optimal capacity, guaranteeing comfort and energy savings.

All heat pump models have efficiency ratings that measure their performance. The SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) indicates the efficiency in cooling mode over a season, and the HSPF2 (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) indicates the efficiency in heating mode. The higher these numbers, the more efficient and economical the unit is to operate. For example, a SEER2 of 15 or higher and an HSPF2 above 8 are considered very good for the Quebec climate. Also look for Energy Star certification, which guarantees that the model offers above-average performance. Choosing a high-efficiency heat pump ensures you maximize your electricity savings and reduce your environmental impact.

Purchasing a central heat pump is a long-term investment, so it's important to choose a brand known for its reliability and service. AirGreen offers a wide selection of central heat pumps from the best manufacturers on the market .

By choosing AirGreen, you have the peace of mind of knowing you're getting the quality of leading brands .

The noise level of a central heat pump can be a comfort factor, especially if the outdoor unit is to be installed near a bedroom or a neighbor's home. Manufacturers indicate the noise level in decibels (dB) for their indoor and outdoor units. For the quietest experience possible, choose a low-noise model – some variable-speed (Inverter) compressors and specially designed fan blades can reduce the outdoor unit's noise level to around 55-60 dB , barely louder than a conversation. Furthermore, proper installation (for example, on an anti-vibration base, with strategic placement) will help reduce noise and vibration transmission. Our consultants can guide you toward the quietest central heat pumps on the market if this is a priority for you.

The cost of installing a central heat pump can vary significantly depending on the brand, capacity, and the extent of the installation work (ductwork modifications, electrical configuration, etc.). On average, a central system with existing ductwork costs between $6,000 and $10,000 all-inclusive, while a project including a new electric furnace or a complete ductwork system can cost between $10,000 and $15,000 . Fortunately, as mentioned above, numerous rebates are available to help reduce the cost. Learn about the government programs in effect at the time of your purchase: the Canada Greener Homes federal grant (rebate up to $5,000), Hydro-Québec's Chauffez Vert/LogisVert program (rebates of $1,000 to $6,700 depending on the unit's efficiency, and up to $22,000 with a heat storage system), as well as certain municipal grants or manufacturer offers. AirGreen can guide you through these processes and provide you with the necessary documents to obtain your rebates. By planning your project carefully, your central heat pump could be largely financed by financial assistance , maximizing your return on investment.
