Heat Pump Installation in Pierrefonds-Roxboro

Dear Pierrefonds-Roxboro Residents,

At AirGreen, we understand the significance of maintaining a comfortable environment in your home. If you're considering installing a heat pump or an air conditioning unit in the Pierrefonds-Roxboro borough, here are some essential details you should be aware of:

1. Installation Permit:

   • If you're looking to install a new heat pump or an air conditioning unit, whether it's permanent or removable, a permit is required.
   • Good news! If you're merely replacing an existing unit in the same location, no permit is needed.

2. Installation Rules:

   • Your installation must adhere to the borough's urban planning regulations.
   • Installing these units in the front yard of your building is prohibited. However, an exception is made for buildings with more than 4 units: a bi-block type unit can be installed in the front yard, but it must:
     • Be placed on a balcony or terrace only.
     • When positioned on the ground, it should not be visible from the street.

3. Distances and Visibility:

   • Heat pumps, air conditioners, and compressors located less than 2 meters from your property boundaries should not be visible from the street.
   • These units must be entirely shielded by an opaque acoustic screen. For more information on approved materials, please contact the borough's permit counter.

4. Maintenance of Units:

   • It's crucial that all units are well-maintained and remain in good condition to ensure their efficiency and longevity.

5. Permit Duration and Cost:

   • The installation permit is valid for 3 months.
   • The cost of the permit is $55, taxes included.

6. Please Note:

   • These conditions apply to both residences and businesses alike.

Your Responsibility: While we are always here to guide and assist you throughout the process, it's important to emphasize that it's up to you, our valued customers, to ensure your installation complies with all regulations and to obtain agreement from your neighbors if necessary. Unless otherwise specified in our contract, obtaining the permit remains your responsibility. However, rest assured that we stand by your side to support you at every step.

Thank you for your trust, and we look forward to serving you.

Warm regards,

The AirGreen Team.
