Efficient Cooling in the Heart of Griffintown: The Story Behind a Sharp ZU1 24,000 BTU Installation
Griffintown, Montreal, known for its rich history and modern revival, has become a hotspot for new businesses and luxury residences. With such a bustling environment, keeping cool in the summer and warm in the winter is a priority. This is why a recent installation of the Sharp ZU1 24,000 BTU wall-mounted air conditioner became a game-changer for a homeowner looking to maintain year-round comfort in their sleek, modern apartment.
Sharp ZU1: The Perfect Blend of Technology and Performance
The Sharp ZU1 is no ordinary air conditioner. With 24,000 BTU of cooling power, it was the perfect match for the Griffintown home, ensuring not only cooling efficiency during hot summer days but also heating capabilities that can withstand Montreal's cold winters, all the way down to -27°C. This unit is designed with precision, delivering optimal comfort to large spaces.
Beyond cooling, the Sharp ZU1 offers a host of other benefits, making it an ideal choice for residents of the greater Montreal area.
Maximizing Efficiency with a Smart Design
This model features the cutting-edge R-32 refrigerant, a greener, more energy-efficient alternative to the older R-22 and R-410A freons. R-32 is not only more eco-friendly but also reduces the environmental impact by cutting down energy consumption by around 10%. By using this refrigerant, the Sharp ZU1 aligns with Quebec's energy efficiency standards and upcoming federal regulations. This forward-thinking choice by AirGreen positions the homeowner well for future changes in HVAC technology.
Additionally, the plasmacluster technology included in the Sharp ZU1 provides superior air purification. For a home in a bustling neighborhood like Griffintown, where dust, allergens, and other airborne particles are inevitable, this feature ensures clean, fresh air indoors. The system neutralizes airborne bacteria and mold, delivering not just comfort but also healthier living conditions.
The Installation Process: A Tailored Fit for Griffintown
The AirGreen team, recognized for their expertise and attention to detail, took special care in the installation. Given the modern, minimalist design of the apartment in Griffintown, aesthetics were just as important as functionality. Our technicians mounted the outdoor unit on the building's rooftop to maximize space efficiency and minimize visual impact, ensuring the unit blended seamlessly with the urban landscape.
The indoor unit, sleek and modern, was strategically positioned to provide maximum airflow without disturbing the interior design of the home. At just 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 inches, it was a perfect fit for the space. The long Coanda flap, a unique feature of Sharp's air conditioning units, was used to direct airflow along the ceiling, ensuring uniform cooling across the entire living space.
This installation also included 1/4 - 3/8 inch piping to ensure smooth refrigerant flow, while the 53.0 dB(A) exterior noise level kept outdoor sound disturbance to a minimum. Indoors, the noise level remains within 25 to 49 dB(A), maintaining a peaceful environment for the homeowner, ideal for those who appreciate quiet, undisturbed living spaces.
LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec: Significant Savings
A significant bonus for the homeowner was the LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec, which allows up to $2,688 in savings for installing this energy-efficient model. Coupled with a federal grant of $2,500 to $5,000, this installation not only upgraded the home’s climate control but also made financial sense.
