An elegant and discreet installation project in a heritage residence
At AirGreen , we pay particular attention to every detail, especially when we work on homes with architectural value. This time, our team was commissioned in Outremont , a neighborhood known for its unique homes, to install a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump with a modern and refined design.
The client's goal: to integrate an efficient, quiet HVAC system that would be aesthetically harmonious with the interior decor, without compromising the classic style of the house.
Step 1: Location assessment and device selection
Before any installation, our certified technicians carried out a complete analysis of the space .
The main challenge lay in the optimal positioning of the wall unit : the room, with large wooden windows and a load-bearing wall, required integration that respected both the structure and visual symmetry.
After inspection, we recommended a Sharp 12,000 BTU heat pump , a model from the Plasmacluster series , known for its built-in air purification and energy-efficient inverter technology .
Selection criteria:
-
Quiet operation (less than 21 dB) ;
-
Sleek design suited to a high-end residential environment;
-
Ideal capacity to efficiently heat and air condition an open area of 35 m²;
-
Automatic sensing technology to adjust temperature based on presence.
Step 2: Preparing and precisely tracing the installation
The unit was to be mounted high on a side wall , close to a door leading to the terrace.
Our team carefully determined the point where the refrigeration pipe and the condensate drain would pass through to avoid any visible traces.
The conduit routing was designed to disappear behind the French window frame , guaranteeing a perfect finish, without visual impact.
The core drill created a precise passage for the refrigeration lines, thermally insulated to maximize system efficiency.
Step 3: Fixing and connecting the Sharp heat pump
Once the structure is prepared, we have:
-
Secure the wall bracket with reinforced anchors suitable for gypsum walls on wood frames;
-
Position the Sharp indoor unit , ensuring millimetric alignment with the upper frame;
-
Connected the copper refrigeration lines with professional brazing and nitrogen pressure testing;
-
Connect the condensate drain to the outside with a controlled slope to avoid any backflow;
-
Made the electrical connection according to CSA standards and checked the grounding.
Each step was inspected before moving on to vacuuming the circuit, guaranteeing zero leaks and a perfect seal .
Step 4: Performance Testing and Calibration
After commissioning the system, our technicians carried out a series of comprehensive tests :
-
Measurement of blown air flow and outlet temperature;
-
Checking the ambient humidity level and thermal comfort;
-
Calibration of the temperature sensor and the directional flap ;
-
Check the actual sound level to confirm compliance with the announced threshold.
The results exceeded expectations:
in air conditioning mode, the blown temperature dropped to 8°C , with a room stabilization time of less than 10 minutes .
In heating mode, the heat pump provided a constant flow of 43°C , ensuring rapid comfort even in cool outdoor temperatures.
Step 5: Aesthetic integration and customer satisfaction
The Sharp unit blended in perfectly with the decor.
Its minimalist matte white design matches the wall color and complements the natural wood window frames.
The client, sensitive to aesthetics and performance, was impressed by the system's sound discretion , to the point of describing it as "so quiet you forget it's working."
We finalized the project by proceeding to:
-
Personalized training on the use of the remote control and eco modes;
-
A test of the Plasmacluster air purification mode , particularly popular for allergy-sensitive homes;
-
A final check of the external installation , ensuring smooth drain flow and optimal compressor ventilation.
