A central ADD-ON solution designed for existing buildings in Quebec

At AirGreen , we work daily on central HVAC installations in real, often complex contexts: houses built in the 70s in Montreal with still-functional electric furnaces, multi-unit residential buildings in Laval where mechanical space is limited, businesses in Longueuil requiring constant thermal stability, or properties on the North Shore and South Shore exposed to severe winter conditions.
The Elios 30,000 BTU ADD-ON Central Heat Pump with coils and cabinet precisely addresses these needs. It was not designed as a generic central system, but as a smart integration solution for replacement , energy conversion , or optimization projects for existing installations.

In most of the projects we undertake, clients aren't looking to completely overhaul their HVAC system. They want to improve efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and increase comfort without turning their building into a major construction site. It's precisely in this type of scenario that the Elios model truly shines.

The ADD-ON approach: a pragmatic approach, not a complete overhaul

An add-on system, when properly understood and installed, allows you to leverage existing systems rather than unnecessarily replacing them. In practice, this translates to:

• The use of the existing air distribution system , when it is adequate.

• Direct integration with an existing electric furnace or hybrid system.

• A significant reduction in carpentry, electrical and finishing work.

• Faster commissioning, with fewer interruptions for occupants.

In Montreal, we regularly encounter homes where the ductwork is properly sized, but the central heating system is energy-inefficient or poorly suited to today's winters. In these cases, the ADD-ON approach allows for an efficient transition to a modern central heat pump without compromising heating reliability.

Heating to -30°C: a non-negotiable requirement in Quebec

The critical factor for any central heat pump installed in Quebec remains its ability to heat efficiently during periods of intense cold. The ADD-ON Elios 30,000 BTU Central Heat Pump was designed to operate down to -30°C , with remarkable stability of heating capacity.

Thermal capacities adapted to real-world conditions

• Rated power : 30,000 BTU

• Power measured at -8°C : approximately 25,000 BTU

• Power measured at -15°C : up to 32,000 BTU

• Continuous operation without abrupt cycles , even in extreme cold.

In projects carried out by AirGreen on the South Shore , this consistency of performance has made it possible to eliminate frequent complaints related to temperature variations between floors, a common problem with central systems poorly adapted to low temperatures.

Energy efficiency: figures that translate into concrete savings

Energy efficiency ratings are not simply technical data. They directly influence the annual energy bill, especially in a climate where heating represents the largest share of electricity consumption.

• SEER2: 16.1 for air conditioning

• HSPF2: 8.2 for heating

• High COP even at low temperatures , ensuring good winter performance

• ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate Certification

In practice, this means the heat pump continuously adjusts its power output, avoiding energy-intensive on/off cycles. For several customers in Laval and Longueuil, this modulation resulted in a significant reduction in electricity consumption from the very first heating season.

Coils WITH cabinet: a strategic choice for sustainability

The choice of a coil WITH cabinet is often underestimated, yet it plays a key role in the longevity and quality of the installation.

Advantages observed on our construction sites

• Improved structural rigidity , reducing long-term vibrations.

• Increased protection against dust, moisture and accidental impacts.

• More consistent sealing, limiting unwanted air leaks.

• Cleaner installation in narrow or shared mechanical rooms.

In several multi-unit residential buildings in Montreal, this format has facilitated future maintenance and reduced the risks of premature deterioration, an essential point for property managers.

R-454B refrigerant: a responsible and future-proof choice

R-454B is a next-generation refrigerant, designed to meet current environmental requirements while ensuring stable thermal performance.

• Reduced environmental impact compared to previous generations.

• Compatibility with current and future safety standards.

• Integrated leak detection , with automatic shutdown in case of anomaly.

• Enhanced security for residential and commercial facilities.

At AirGreen, we systematically favour solutions that will remain compliant and insurable over time, in order to avoid costly premature replacements for our customers.

Acoustic comfort: an essential criterion in urban environments

With an external sound level of approximately 62 dB(A) and a horizontal discharge design, this ADD-ON central heat pump integrates discreetly into dense environments.

In neighborhoods like Villeray, Rosemont or certain areas of the North Shore, this feature makes a real difference, both for the comfort of the occupants and for the immediate neighborhood.

LogisVert grant: structuring financial support

The ADD-ON Elios 30,000 BTU Central Heat Pump is eligible for the $3,000 LogisVert provincial grant , subject to compliance with the applicable criteria.

At AirGreen , we don't just mention the subsidy. We:

• Let's check the building's eligibility.

• We ensure that the installation meets all technical requirements.

• We assist the client with the administrative procedures.

This helps to avoid refusals or delays after installation.

AirGreen feedback: what we actually observe

• Single-family home in Laval : ADD-ON integration on existing furnace, immediate improvement in winter comfort, reduced noise and more precise thermal control.

• Triplex in Longueuil : cramped mechanical room, coils WITH cabinet installed without major structural modification.

• Small business on the South Shore : need for stable heating from the first hours of opening, efficient modulation and reduction of peak consumption.

These projects illustrate the true versatility of this model when it is properly sized and installed.

Why AirGreen is the right partner for this type of project

Installing a high-performance ADD-ON central heat pump requires more than just replacing equipment.

At AirGreen, we offer:

• A precise thermal analysis of the building.

• Specific expertise in central ADD-ON configurations .

• Qualified and experienced refrigeration technicians.

• A $5,000,000 liability insurance policy.

• Clear, detailed and final submissions before work begins.

Our approach aims for long-term reliability, not a quick fix without follow-up.

Who is the ADD-ON Elios 30,000 BTU Central Heat Pump for?

This system is particularly suitable for:

• Residential owners wishing to upgrade their central heating.

• Multi-unit residential buildings with mechanical constraints.

• Businesses requiring stable performance in winter.

• Energy conversion projects in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore and South Shore .
