Installation Details and Challenges
Our team faced a unique set of challenges during this installation. The primary concern was the visibility of the pipes. In many older homes, like this one in Ahuntsic-Cartierville, it is physically impossible to hide the pipes within the walls or ceilings. This can sometimes lead to aesthetic concerns. However, we always aim to leave our installations looking as clean and unobtrusive as possible.
Professional Finishing Touches
Fortunately, we collaborate with a professional plasterer who steps in after our installation to conceal the pipes and add finishing touches. This ensures that even when the pipes can't be hidden within the walls, they are tastefully covered, maintaining the home's aesthetic integrity.
Performance in Extreme Conditions
One of the standout features of the Sharp ZU1 is its performance in extreme conditions. This model can heat efficiently even at temperatures as low as -27°C, making it ideal for the harsh Quebec winters. The Hot Gas Pipe System and Defrosting Technology ensure that the unit remains operational and efficient, even in the most challenging weather.
Advanced Airflow and Purification Technologies
The Coanda Airflow system directs air along the walls and ceiling to prevent drafts and ensure uniform temperature distribution. This technology, combined with the Plasmacluster Technology, provides not only comfort but also health benefits by purifying the air, eliminating mold, bacteria, and allergens.
How Plasmacluster Works:
- Ion Diffusion: Positive and negative ions are released into the air.
- Contaminant Neutralization: These ions surround and deactivate harmful particles.
- Return to Nature: The ions recombine to form water, adding humidity to the air.
Customer Satisfaction and Environmental Responsibility
The homeowner was particularly pleased with the environmentally friendly R-32 refrigerant, which reduces greenhouse gases and enhances energy efficiency. This refrigerant, along with the unit's high SEER rating, contributes to lower electricity bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
Future-Proofing Your Home
The Sharp ZU1 is not just about immediate comfort and savings; it's also about future-proofing your home. With impending changes in government energy efficiency standards, having a unit that is already compliant means one less thing to worry about.
Features to Highlight:
- Inverter Technology: Saves energy by adjusting the power according to the room's needs.
- Auto Changeover: Automatically switches between heating and cooling as needed.
