Important Information for Heat Pump Installation in Verdun

Dear Verdun residents,

At AirGreen, we take pride in providing you with top-quality heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) services. Before proceeding with the installation of a heat pump or a permanent air conditioning unit in your Verdun residence, it's crucial to be aware of the prevailing regulations. Here's a summary of the official guidelines to assist you:

Installation Permit:

  • A permit is required for the installation of a heat pump or a permanent air conditioning unit.
  • If the unit is removable, no permit is needed.

Ground Installation:

  • Permitted in all yards.
  • The unit must be positioned at a minimum distance of 1 meter from any property boundary.
  • In the front yard, the unit should be concealed by plants or a screen of the same height as the unit.
  • For buildings with 12 units or fewer in Île-des-Soeurs, installation in the backyard is prohibited.

Balcony Installation:

  • Only buildings with 13 units or more can have installations on a balcony.
  • The unit must not exceed the height of the railings.
  • Wires and conduits should match the color of the wall they are attached to.

  • Permitted on a rear or side wall.
  • On a side wall, the unit must be at least 2 meters away from the front facade wall.

Roof Installation:

  • Only allowed on the flat roof of a main building.
  • If the unit is visible from a public road (except an alley), it should be hidden behind a metallic screen.
  • The screen must adhere to specific height and width dimensions relative to the unit.
  • The screen should also be positioned a certain distance from a facade wall.

Exception:

  • The installation of a removable air conditioning unit is prohibited in Île-des-Soeurs.

Important Note: Before starting your procedures, we recommend contacting the Verdun borough to ensure your installation complies with regulations.

Lastly, we'd like to emphasize that while we are here to guide and assist you, it is up to each customer to ensure their installation complies with regulations and to obtain neighbor agreements when necessary. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, obtaining the permit remains the customer's responsibility. However, rest assured that we are always by your side to provide all the necessary support.

Thank you for trusting us with your HVAC needs in Verdun.

Warm regards,

The AirGreen Team.
