Elegance, efficiency and precise control for small spaces heated to -30°C
The GREE CLIVIA R32 9,000 BTU (black) is designed for condo, apartment and townhouse occupants who want consistent comfort all year round, without sacrificing aesthetics or peace and quiet. Its anthracite gray facade blends into modern decor; its interior noise level from 20 dB(A) allows for peaceful rest; its heating capacity down to -30 °C guarantees a constant atmosphere even during the bitter cold in Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , North Shore and South Shore . The peak performance (SEER2 26.0 , HSPF2 10.4 , EER2 15.0 , COP 3.90 at +8 °C ) comes from a G20 Inverter compressor that adjusts power to the nearest second. Wi-Fi connectivity and self-cleaning functionality simplify daily life, reduce maintenance and maintain healthier indoor air.
What you actually get at AirGreen
Why 9,000 BTU is often the “sweet spot”
For rooms of 250 to 450 sq ft (master bedroom, compact living room, closed office), 9,000 BTU offers the ideal balance between comfort, quietness, and energy savings. An oversized unit creates drafts and cycling ; an undersized unit works too hard and wears out prematurely. We perform an on-site thermal assessment : orientation, insulation, glazing, air infiltration, internal loads (lighting, appliances, occupants). Our recommendation is the result of a rigorous calculation, not an approximation.
Advanced features that are useful on a daily basis
G20 Inverter : fine modulation for stable temperature and better bill control.
AI & humidity : the algorithm learns from your room (surface area, humidity, inertia) and adjusts drying to maintain a comfortable humidity level (often 40–50% in winter, 45–55% in summer).
Self-cleaning : automatic drying of the evaporator to limit residual humidity and odors.
Blue-fin exchangers : increased protection against corrosion (salt spray), useful in urban environments and near major roads.
Wi-Fi included : via GREE+ , plan Day/Night/Away slots, lock the locker, receive alerts, share access to the home.
AirGreen HVAC Installation: A Proven Method
We serve Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , North Shore and South Shore with a compliant and careful HVAC installation :
100% free on-site estimate : validation of clearances, line routes, drilling, power supply.
Interior location : respect clearances, avoid obstacles (rods, cupboards), position shutters to limit direct jets onto the bed.
Outdoor unit : clearance outside snow accumulation area; wall support recommended if the area is covered in snow; anti-vibration devices to limit solid transmission.
Drainage : continuous slope towards the outside; heated tracing if passing through a cold zone; flow test before closing the gutters.
Refrigeration : secure brazing, nitrogen priming , leak test, deep vacuum (<500 microns), R-32 charge adjusted to the nearest gram according to the actual length.
Electrical : dedicated circuit breaker, compliant rating, emergency cut-off near the condenser; check for voltage drops.
Commissioning : superheat/subcooling control, fan balancing, parameter updates, GREE+ tutorial.
Standard warranty : 12 years compressor – 12 years parts – 0 years labor (12-12-0).
Extended Warranty : Add-on labor available for full coverage.
Provincial LogisVert grant : $440 for the 9,000 BTU (subject to eligibility).
Transparent prices : a final offer is sent before work; payment at the end when everything is functional.
RBQ : 5645-9605-01 ; our refrigeration engineers are trained in R-32 and safety procedures.
Case studies (real, representative)
Plateau-Mont-Royal (Montreal)
Context : 420 sq ft condo, bedroom + small living room, skylight, solar gains in the afternoon.
Solution : CLIVIA 9,000 BTU ; 25 ft of lines; damped wall mount; anthracite trunking; optional XE-71 wired thermostat to stabilize variations in sunlight.
Result : silent night (fan on low setting), reduced consumption during heat waves thanks to modulation; rapid defrosting at -22°C ; no odor in mid-season thanks to the self-drying cycle.
Sainte-Dorothée (Laval)
Context : 300 sq ft closed office; noticeable summer humidity.
Solution : Use humidity range to aim for 45–50%; reinforced line insulation; drain at constant slope.
Result : drier air , stable 22°C, no more condensation on the north window, better comfort during long periods of teleworking.
Is this 9k enough for a 4 1/2? Often not for the entire home. The 9k is suitable for one zone (bedroom, office, compact living room). To cover several rooms, consider multi-zone or several single-zone systems.
Is it noisy at night? At 20 dB(A) in low mode, it is very discreet. The perceived noise also depends on the support, vibrations and the orientation of the blowing - hence the interest in careful installation .
Does consumption increase in dehumidification? Humidity AI helps keep costs down. Set a realistic setpoint (e.g., 45–50%); beyond that, the device is working too hard.
Is an annual maintenance required? Yes. Preventative HVAC maintenance maintains efficiency, extends lifespan, and keeps indoor air healthier.
