Vaudreuil-Dorion: houses, semis and condos
Vaudreuil-Dorion is part of the Vaudreuil-Soulanges RCM, west of the island of Montréal. We cool single-family homes, semi-detached houses, townhouses and condos there. Each building type changes how we install: a condo often needs the syndicate's approval, and a multi-storey house is best cooled room by room with a multi-zone system. Our teams come from our Montréal office, about 45 km away, and also work in nearby towns: Vaudreuil-sur-le-Lac, Terrasse-Vaudreuil, L'Île-Cadieux and Pincourt.
Vaudreuil-Dorion by the numbers: the 2021 Census
In the 2021 Census, Vaudreuil-Dorion had 43,268 residents (up 13.5% since 2016) on 72.7 km², or 596 people per km². Of 16,715 occupied dwellings, 53% are single-detached houses, 32% are apartments in duplexes or buildings under five storeys, 12% are semi-detached and row houses and 3% are apartments in buildings of five storeys or more. 26% of homes were built before 1981 and 54% since 2001; 73% of households own their home. Between houses and apartments, no two buildings are alike: every quote starts from an assessment of the home, on site or from photos. Source: Statistics Canada, 2021 Census of Population.

Where to install the outdoor unit in Vaudreuil-Dorion
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. Before installing, see our page on permits and bylaws in Vaudreuil-Dorion.
Humid summers, cold winters: choosing the right capacity
In Vaudreuil-Dorion, as everywhere in Greater Montréal, 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: in Vaudreuil-Dorion, our technicians have worked on GREE, York, Mitsubishi and Fujitsu systems, among others. 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.
