Permits and regulations for the installation of a heat pump or air conditioning system in LaSalle

Understanding the municipal requirements for your HVAC work in LaSalle

At AirGreen , we support our LaSalle clients in all their steps related to the installation of heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Although some installations do not require a specific permit, it remains essential to comply with current urban planning regulations and municipal standards .
Here is a complete, clear and up-to-date guide to ensure your project is compliant from the start.


Municipal permits in LaSalle: what you need to know

No permit required for most residential installations

Good news: Installing a heat pump or air conditioning unit generally does not require a permit in the borough of LaSalle . This simplifies your process and allows you to plan your project more quickly.

However, the absence of a permit does not mean an absence of rules . The installation must comply with the provisions of the LaSalle Urban Planning Regulations in order to ensure the safety, comfort and tranquility of the neighborhood.


Urban planning regulations: rules and constraints to be respected

Device location

  • Prohibition in the front yard : it is strictly forbidden to install your air conditioning or heat pump unit in the front yard .
    This rule aims to preserve the aesthetics of the facades and maintain visual uniformity in the neighborhood.

  • Minimum distances :

    • The device must be installed at least 2 meters from the rear property line.

    • A distance of at least 1 meter must be respected from the lateral limits .

Sound level

Your heat pump or air conditioner must not exceed 50 decibels at the edge of your property.
This requirement guarantees a calm and harmonious environment for all residents.
At AirGreen , we offer modern, low-noise devices that are perfectly suited to these municipal criteria.

Land located at an intersection

If your land is at the intersection of two public roads, the requirements may differ.
We recommend contacting the LaSalle permit counter directly to obtain details specific to your situation.


Best practices and installation tips

  1. Always check the regulations before you begin : even without a permit, local requirements can change.

  2. Avoid neighborhood conflicts by informing your neighbors of your project, especially if the device is close to property lines.

  3. Choose an Energy Star certified appliance to maximize your energy efficiency and reduce your long-term costs.

  4. Entrust your installation to qualified professionals : our technicians at AirGreen comply with all RBQ , CCQ and Hydro-Québec standards.
