The Rouville RCM: houses and rural properties
In the Rouville RCM, in Montérégie, AirGreen serves 8 municipalities. Most of our work there is in single-family homes, village houses and country properties. On a large lot the outdoor unit is easy to place, but snow, maintenance access and a solid base must be planned. Our teams cover the whole region from our Boucherville showroom, including Marieville, Saint-Mathias-sur-Richelieu, Ange-Gardien and Saint-Paul-d'Abbotsford.
The Rouville RCM by the numbers: the 2021 Census
In the 2021 Census, the Rouville RCM had 37,889 residents (up 3.7% since 2016) on 483 km²; AirGreen serves 8 of its municipalities. Of 15,755 occupied dwellings, 60% are single-detached houses, 28% are apartments in duplexes or buildings under five storeys and 10% are semi-detached and row houses. 47% of homes were built before 1981 and 29% since 2001; 69% of households own their home. This mix of houses and apartments is why every quote starts with an assessment of the building, on site or from photos. Source: Statistics Canada, 2021 Census of Population.

Where to install the outdoor unit in the Rouville RCM
Balcony, terrace, side wall or flat roof: the location is decided on site. We consider the distance to neighbours, noise, defrost water drainage in winter, access for maintenance and municipal rules and, in a condo, the syndicate's rules. Rules change from one town to the next: before installing, check your town's page.
Humid summers, cold winters: choosing the right capacity
In the Rouville RCM, as everywhere in southern Québec, summer brings humid heat waves and winter long stretches below freezing. A correctly sized heat pump dries the air in July without short cycling, and a cold-climate model keeps heating in January. We size it from the floor area, orientation, windows and insulation, never by guesswork.
Repair, maintain, replace
We also repair units we did not install. Cleaning the filters and coils every spring keeps a heat pump efficient and the air healthy. And if a repair would cost more than a replacement, we say so and show you the price before any work starts.
