Comfort, healthy air and sustainability: what makes the difference
-
3-in-1 : cools , heats and purifies the air .
-
FrostWash 3.0 : three-stage cycle (heats the coil, freezes to approx. -15°C , then melts) which loosens and removes dust, pollen and grease deposited on the exchanger — effective in maintaining efficiency and limiting odors.
-
PM2.5 filtration with activated carbon : reduction of fine particles and anti-VOCs for healthier air.
-
Mold Guard : automatic internal drying (≈ 60 min with coil heating to approx. 50°C ) after shutdown to limit residual humidity and mold formation.
-
Smart Eco (presence sensor): lowers consumption during absences and resumes the settings upon return.
-
SleepSense : Gently adjusts temperature during sleep, preventing deviations and reducing costs.
-
airCloud Go : mobile application (weekly programming, cost estimation, Smart-Fence geolocation, voice commands).
-
Anti-corrosion outdoor unit (“blue coating”, fireproof and rust-proof metal body) and self-cleaning condenser for long-lasting performance.
Who is it ideal for?
-
Montreal townhouses with adjoining walls: need a quiet heat pump with continuous heating in very cold weather .
-
Duplex/Triplex : 24,000 BTU power suitable for large open spaces, kitchen + living room + hallway, and adjacent bedrooms.
-
Neighborhood offices (Plateau, Vieux-Longueuil, Chomedey): stable temperature, PM2.5 filtration and deodorization useful for the comfort of teams and customers.
AirGreen Field Feedback & Installation Scenarios
Case Study #1 — Villeray (Townhouse)
Project: open living room + dining room + kitchen (~48 m²), bedrooms upstairs.
AirGreen Solutions: high interior positioning on central load-bearing wall; optimized line length < 25 m; drain slope protected against frost; exterior wall support with de-icing hatch .
Result: at -22°C , the house remains stable at 21°C without additional heating. The customer reports a ~28% reduction in his winter bill in the first season and more odor-neutral air thanks to FrostWash + activated carbon.
Case Study #2 — Laval (large corner condo)
Project: glazed south facade; issues of summer overheating and drought .
Solutions: fine calibration of fan speeds to limit background noise, occasional Dry mode on humid days ( up to ~4 L/h of dehumidification) and SleepSense programming.
Result: reduced day/night amplitude, more stable sleep , and significantly reduced condensation on windows in mid-season.
Case Study #3 — Longueuil (medical office)
Project: two consultation rooms + reception; needs for clean air and silence.
Solutions: orientation of the blowing to avoid direct airflow on patients, DuraSpin pre-filtration cleaning, implementation of a quarterly HVAC maintenance plan .
Result: very discreet perceived noise level in “Low” mode, odors (disinfectants, gloves) reduced; positive feedback from staff.
AirGreen Engineering Tips for Sustainable Installation
Sizing & actual performance
-
Load calculation : we validate losses (insulation, infiltration, glazing) to guarantee that 24,000 BTUs cover your peaks at -25°C .
-
Interior layout : sufficient clearance above doors or partitions for uniform diffusion and maintenance access.
-
Exterior installation : compliant rear/side clearance, snow-free base , directed defrosting drain (avoids ice on the ground).
-
Acoustics : selection of anti-vibration anchors and resonance control on bricks/concrete; fan speed adjustment for quiet nights.
Recommended HVAC maintenance
-
FrostWash : let the automatic cycle run at regular intervals (or trigger manually via remote control/app).
-
Filters : Rinse the stainless steel pre-filter every 1–2 months; replace the PM2.5/carbon filter according to use.
-
Seasonal cleaning : inspection of the condensate tray , soft coil brush, check of the R-32 refrigerant flow , test of the presence sensors/thermistors .
-
App update : Adjust airCloud Go scheduling to routines (work, vacation).
Regular maintenance maintains efficiency, limits odors and extends the warranty .
