Le Haut-Richelieu RCM: houses and rural properties
In Le Haut-Richelieu RCM, in Montérégie, AirGreen serves 14 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 Lacolle, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Noyan and Saint-Paul-de-l'Île-aux-Noix.

Where to install the outdoor unit in Le Haut-Richelieu 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 Le Haut-Richelieu 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.
