Saint-Ours: houses and rural properties
Saint-Ours is part of the Pierre-De Saurel RCM, in Montérégie. Single-family homes, village houses and rural properties dominate. Many are heated with electric baseboards: a wall-mounted or multi-zone heat pump cools in summer and helps lower the heating bill in winter. Near the Richelieu River, summer humidity is often very noticeable: a heat pump with a good dehumidification mode makes a difference. Our teams come from our Boucherville showroom, about 45 km away, and also work in nearby towns: Saint-Roch-de-Richelieu, Contrecoeur, Sainte-Victoire-de-Sorel and Saint-Bernard-de-Michaudville.
Saint-Ours by the numbers: the 2021 Census
In the 2021 Census, Saint-Ours had 1,723 residents (up 3.2% since 2016) on 59.2 km², or 29 people per km². Of 795 occupied dwellings, 83% are single-detached houses, 9% are apartments in duplexes or buildings under five storeys and 7% are semi-detached and row houses. 67% of homes were built before 1981 and 14% since 2001; 84% of households own their home. Many of these houses predate current insulation standards: we check insulation, windows and electrical panel capacity before choosing the capacity.

What our 3 jobs in Saint-Ours taught us
Since August 2026, we have published 3 air conditioning job reports in Saint-Ours: 3 installations. Multi-zone systems lead with 1 installation. Next come central and ducted heat pumps (1) and wall-mounted heat pumps (1). For brands, our clients mostly chose GREE (2) and Fujitsu (1). To give you a better idea of our work, the gallery above also shows recent jobs from nearby towns.
Where to install the outdoor unit in Saint-Ours
In Saint-Ours, where 83% of homes are single-detached houses, the outdoor unit usually sits on a raised ground pad or a wall bracket at the side or back of the house. We keep it above the snow, away from neighbours' windows, and respect the setbacks set by the municipality. Before installing, see our page on permits and bylaws in Saint-Ours.
Humid summers, cold winters: choosing the right capacity
In Saint-Ours, as everywhere in Greater Montréal, summers can be hot and humid and winters harsh. A unit that is too small can't keep up during heat waves; one that is too big cycles on and off without drying the air properly. That's why we measure rooms, windows and insulation before recommending a capacity. A cold-climate heat pump also keeps heating efficiently in winter.
Repair, maintain, replace
Our refrigeration technicians repair all brands, including ones we did not install. A spring maintenance visit, before the heat arrives, keeps efficiency and air quality up. And when an old unit costs more to repair than to replace, we tell you plainly, with the price explained before any work.
