An architectural HVAC solution designed for real comfort, not theoretical.
In many contemporary residential , commercial , or multi-unit projects, the issue is never limited to a simple BTU rating. The challenges are more subtle and much more concrete: uniform air distribution , temperature stability , visual discretion , noise level , reliability in the depths of a Quebec winter , and controlled operating costs .
The GREE EXTREME R32 8-way ceiling cassette heat pump – 18,000 BTU – was specifically developed to meet these requirements. At AirGreen, we recommend this type of system when customers want a highly integrated, high-performance, and sustainable HVAC solution capable of operating without compromise at -30°C , while remaining visually unobtrusive.
We regularly install it in Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , on the North Shore and the South Shore , both in modern condos and in commercial spaces where aesthetics and comfort are inseparable.
360° air diffusion: a real difference in everyday life
The 8-way design of this ceiling cassette is not just a marketing gimmick. It truly transforms the thermal experience in the room. Thanks to its eight independent air outlets , air is distributed in a circular and balanced manner, without blowing directly onto the occupants.
Unlike traditional wall units, this technology allows:
-
A consistent temperature from floor to ceiling
-
Eliminating cold or overheated areas
-
A constant feeling of comfort, even in large open rooms
In projects carried out by AirGreen, this type of distribution is particularly appreciated in:
-
Open-concept condos with standard or slightly lowered ceilings
-
Professional offices where workstations are distributed across the entire surface
-
Shops , restaurants , clinics and waiting rooms
-
Multi-use spaces where occupancy varies throughout the day
The cassette integrates perfectly into a suspended ceiling, with a discreet flush grid that respects the interior architecture.
Acoustic comfort: an often underestimated criterion
A high-performance but noisy HVAC system quickly becomes a source of discomfort. The GREE EXTREME 8-way cassette unit was designed to operate with a very controlled noise level , thanks to:
-
Multiple ventilation speeds adapted to actual occupancy
-
An internal design optimized to reduce vibrations
-
A distributed airflow, avoiding direct blasts.
At AirGreen, we've installed this model in sensitive environments where silence is essential: closed offices, consultation rooms, bedrooms, and home office spaces. Clients quickly notice a virtually imperceptible noise level , even when the system runs continuously during periods of extreme cold.
Heating and air conditioning performance: designed for Quebec
The GREE EXTREME range has been developed to offer stable performance in demanding climatic conditions. This 18,000 BTU model is capable of providing efficient heating down to -30°C , making it a credible solution as a primary heating source in many well-insulated buildings.

R-32 refrigerant: a technical and strategic choice
The R-32 refrigerant gas represents a significant advancement in the world of HVAC. It enables:
-
Superior energy efficiency
-
Reduced refrigerant charge for the same capacity
-
A smaller environmental impact compared to previous generations
At AirGreen, we find that R-32 systems offer better long-term performance stability, while meeting current and future environmental requirements.
HVAC Installation: Where Everything Really Happens
An 8-way ceiling cassette is never a "plug and play" product. Its efficiency depends directly on the quality of the HVAC installation . That's why AirGreen pays particular attention to each step:
-
Precise analysis of surface area and thermal loads
-
Optimal central positioning for balanced diffusion
-
Rigorous management of condensate drainage (integrated pump and safety switch)
-
Exact sizing of refrigeration lines (1/4 – 5/8 in)
-
Compliance with electrical parameters ( 220 V , MCA 23A , MOP 25A )
-
Calibration of airflow rates according to the actual use of the building
We regularly work on systems that were initially poorly installed, where the problems stem not from the equipment itself, but from improper implementation. A professional installation makes all the difference.
Real-life examples of AirGreen installations
-
New condo in Laval : 18,000 BTU cassette installed in an open-concept living room-kitchen of over 900 sq ft. Result: uniform temperature, no drafts, stable comfort winter and summer.
-
Professional office in Longueuil : replacement of a noisy wall system with a ceiling cassette to improve employee comfort without altering the aesthetics.
-
Retail on the South Shore : a discreet solution that maintains a clean ceiling while ensuring constant air conditioning despite variations in customer traffic.
Controls, options and flexibility of use
The heat pump comes with a simple and intuitive wireless remote control with an LCD screen . Depending on your needs, you can add:
-
A wired thermostat for more centralized control
-
A WiFi option for remote control
-
Integration with building management systems
This flexibility is particularly appreciated in commercial or multi-residential projects where precise temperature control is essential.
HVAC maintenance and long-term durability
Regular maintenance helps to preserve:
-
Energy efficiency
-
Indoor air quality
-
The lifespan of the compressor and components
At AirGreen, we recommend annual HVAC maintenance , especially for commercial or high-traffic installations. Access to filters and internal components facilitates inspections and reduces long-term maintenance costs.
Warranty and peace-of-mind options
The standard warranty covers:
-
10 years on the compressor
-
10-year warranty on parts
-
0 years on the workforce
Additional warranty options are available, and our team assists each customer in choosing the protection best suited to their needs and budget.
