Installation of a Sharp Eco Inverter wall-mounted heat pump in Anjou
AirGreen installed a Sharp Eco Inverter wall-mounted heat pump in Anjou, combining energy performance and discreet aesthetics for four-season comfort.
In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.
Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.
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.
A residential project that combines performance and aesthetics
At AirGreen , we understand that every wall-mounted heat pump installation in Greater Montreal must meet two imperatives: energy efficiency and seamless integration into the home. This project in Anjou perfectly illustrates this philosophy. Our client wanted a reliable system capable of ensuring optimal comfort in all seasons, while preserving the exterior aesthetics of their brick home.
The solution chosen was a Sharp Eco Inverter , a heat pump known for its stable performance, even during Quebec's harsh winters. This inverter technology allows for continuous power adjustment, ensuring substantial energy savings and quiet operation.
An installation adapted to brick architecture
Support and positioning
The outdoor unit is mounted on a raised metal support, ideal for avoiding direct contact with the ground, especially when snow accumulates. This positioning protects the compressor and ensures optimal air circulation.
Discreet capping and harmonized color
A key element of this project was the installation of brown capping , perfectly matching the red brick of the house. This aesthetic treatment allows the refrigerant and electrical conduits to be concealed, while protecting the installation from the elements. The layout follows the contour of the facade, ensuring a discreet and elegant integration.
Electrical connection
The electrical box was installed in close proximity to the compressor, ensuring increased safety and facilitating access for future maintenance. The proximity to the main panel helped limit the length of wiring, thus reducing potential energy losses.
Four-season comfort with the Sharp Eco Inverter
Energy performance
The Sharp Eco Inverter heat pump is designed to offer:
-
High energy efficiency in heating and air conditioning mode,
-
Stable performance even in extreme cold,
-
A significant reduction in electricity consumption thanks to continuous modulation of the compressor.
Potential grants
In the Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore and South Shore areas, several financial assistance programs recognize the performance of Energy Star models like this Sharp unit. This often results in an accelerated return on investment for homeowners.
Site-specific challenges and solutions
Each house has its own unique features. Here, the outdoor space was limited by a garden wall and existing landscaping. Our technicians adapted the pipe layout to circumvent these obstacles, while ensuring the strength of the support or the aesthetics of the plantings were not compromised. Drainage was optimized with a discreet, gravity-fed outlet, preventing any water from pooling near the foundations.

Floors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
A single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
Set on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
Connected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
A dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
Leak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
Remote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.

And at your place?
Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.
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.
What to do, season by season
Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.
- Clean the indoor unit's filters.
- Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
- Test cooling before the first hot days.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
