Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.
The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.
Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.
The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.
On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.
The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.
An Energy-Efficient Solution for Harsh Canadian Winters
At AirGreen, we pride ourselves on delivering high-performance HVAC installations that cater to our clients’ needs. Recently, we installed a Sharp BU DoubleZone Heat Pump at a residence in Repentigny, providing our customer with a solution designed to handle the harsh Canadian climate. With an advanced system that ensures both energy efficiency and effective temperature control, this installation offers optimal comfort throughout the year.
Why the Sharp BU DoubleZone Heat Pump?
The Sharp BU DoubleZone Heat Pump stands out among its competitors due to its ability to provide reliable heating and cooling across two distinct zones within a home. This versatility not only makes it ideal for diverse room configurations but also ensures that each area gets the appropriate climate control it needs. Here’s why it’s a perfect choice:
- 24,000 BTU Cooling Capacity: The external compressor handles up to 24,000 BTUs, efficiently cooling the entire home, even during the hottest summer days.
- Heating Capacity Down to -27°C: With the capacity to function effectively at extremely low temperatures, this model ensures consistent warmth during Montreal’s coldest winter nights.
- Dual Zone Flexibility: It’s equipped with two 12,000 BTU indoor units, which are perfectly suited for separate spaces, allowing tailored temperature settings based on each room's requirements.
- Third Zone Capability: Although this installation currently manages two zones, the system can be expanded to include a third, making it adaptable for future needs.
Installation Challenges and Solutions
When we arrived in Repentigny, we encountered a few obstacles that required innovative problem-solving:
Limited Exterior Space
The residence had limited exterior wall space for mounting the compressor. Our experienced technicians found a secure position that maximized airflow while maintaining a neat and aesthetically pleasing appearance. We mounted the unit using a specialized bracket designed to withstand Quebec’s snow loads, ensuring both safety and performance.
Optimizing Indoor Airflow
Inside the home, we carefully placed the two 12,000 BTU units to maximize airflow and minimize temperature variations. One unit was installed in the living area, providing consistent cooling and heating where the family spends most of their time. The second unit was strategically placed in the master bedroom, ensuring a comfortable night’s sleep regardless of outside temperatures.
Technological Advancements in the Sharp BU Model
The Sharp BU DoubleZone isn't just about heating and cooling; it’s also packed with innovative technology that boosts indoor air quality and efficiency:
- Energy Star® Certified: The unit meets stringent energy efficiency standards, reducing energy consumption and saving homeowners on utility bills.
- 24.0 SEER Efficiency: With a 24.0 SEER rating, this system delivers some of the highest efficiency on the market, making it an eco-friendly choice that supports sustainability.
- WiFi Control: The integrated WiFi capability allows users to control their system remotely, providing unmatched convenience. Whether adjusting the temperature from the comfort of their couch or managing settings on the go, users have full control.
- AHRI Certified: With certification number 213927543, the Sharp BU ensures compliance with industry standards for performance and efficiency.
Ensuring Comfort and Health: Plasmacluster Technology
Sharp’s patented Plasmacluster technology is an integral feature of this heat pump, contributing to a healthier indoor environment:
Air Purification Benefits
- Neutralizes Allergens: This technology significantly reduces common allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and mold spores.
- Odor Elimination: It helps eliminate unpleasant odors, providing a consistently fresh atmosphere inside the home.
- Enhanced Air Quality: By releasing positive and negative ions, the system neutralizes airborne bacteria and viruses, promoting a healthier living space.
Economic and Environmental Benefits
The customer in Repentigny was particularly interested in the economic advantages of the Sharp BU DoubleZone Heat Pump. This model’s use of R-32 refrigerant not only enhances energy efficiency but also lowers the system’s global warming potential (GWP):
- Lower Energy Bills: The efficient heat transfer of R-32 reduces electricity consumption, translating into lower utility bills.
- Environmental Responsibility: The R-32 refrigerant has a lower GWP, aligning with eco-friendly initiatives and reducing the overall carbon footprint.
- Easy Recyclability: R-32 is recyclable, simplifying end-of-life disposal and supporting sustainable HVAC practices.
Durability and Long-Term Reliability
The Sharp BU DoubleZone Heat Pump is designed for durability and reliability, offering a comprehensive 10-year warranty on the compressor, parts, and labor. This not only reassures homeowners of the product’s longevity but also emphasizes its resistance to Montreal’s varied weather conditions.
Noise Reduction and Comfort
Another significant advantage of this model is its sound pressure level of just 50.0 dB(A) for the exterior unit, making it one of the quieter options on the market. This is especially important in suburban settings like Repentigny, where peace and quiet are highly valued.
Government Rebates and Financial Benefits
The Sharp BU DoubleZone Heat Pump is eligible for up to $3,000 in rebates through the LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec. This financial incentive makes it even more appealing to homeowners looking for cost-effective heating and cooling solutions.

Among the year’s most efficient according to ENERGY STAR, on top of its cold-climate certification.
Minimum certified capacity (NEEP): it slows down instead of stopping when a single room calls.
NEEP still lists 14,600 BTU/h at a COP of 1.84 at −17 °F.
Global warming potential of R-32, versus 2,088 for R-410A (ENERGY STAR).

Data read live from the airgreen.ca page of each size (NEEP / AHRI certified performance). When the title names the installed size, it is highlighted; otherwise the whole range is shown.

And at your place?
Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.
Baseboards and electric furnaces turn 1 kWh of electricity into 1 kWh of heat. A heat pump delivers more: that is its COP. At Hydro-Québec’s rate D (11.142¢/kWh above 40 kWh a day, since 1 April 2026):
Hydro-Québec: a heat pump can be up to three times more efficient than baseboards for heating in the colder months.
Estimate per kWh of heat, at the chosen temperature, using the certified COP from the product page. Taxes, access charge and backup heat not included.
Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.
