Heat pump systems
A heat pump can provide efficient heating and cooling for your home, especially if you live in a climate that ranges from -30°C to +30°C, like in the greater Montreal area. When properly installed, a heat pump can provide a home with 1.5 to 3 times more heat than the electrical energy it consumes.
Most wall-mounted or central heat pumps are split systems, meaning they have an indoor air handling unit and an outdoor heat pump.
Every residential heat pump sold in this country carries an EnergyGuide label, which displays the heat pump’s heating and cooling efficiency.
We will show you this information and help you make an informed choice.
Air conditioning systems
Wall-mounted air conditioners draw in warm ambient air, dehumidifying, filtering, and cooling it through their evaporator coil. After cooling the air to 8 to 12 degrees Celsius below the ambient temperature, it is exhausted from the bottom of the same unit. There is no exchange of air with the outside.
Central air conditioners circulate cool air through a system of supply and return ducts. Supply ducts and registers (openings in walls, floors, or ceilings covered with grilles) carry the cooled air from the unit into the home. This cooled air becomes warmer as it circulates through the house; then it returns to the central air conditioner via return ducts and registers. There is no exchange of air with the outside.
Air conditioners help dehumidify incoming air, but in extremely humid climates or if the air conditioner is oversized, it may not achieve a low humidity level.
Selecting an Air Conditioner:
Every residential air conditioner sold in this country carries an EnergyGuide label, which displays the air conditioner’s cooling efficiency rating.
We will work with you to ensure that the system you choose meets your heating and cooling needs.
