An optimized installation in an urban residential environment
In the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood, characterized by its typical spiral staircases and brick facades, our AirGreen team recently installed a Sharp Eco Inverter wall-mounted heat pump . This intervention perfectly illustrates our expertise in adapting residential HVAC systems to the architectural constraints specific to Montreal plexes.
The chosen device, a Sharp Eco Inverter , is renowned for its energy efficiency and reliability in northern climates. Thanks to its inverter technology, it ensures constant comfort while reducing electricity consumption.
Technical details of the installation
The outdoor unit was mounted on a sturdy wall mount , raised to avoid contact with ground moisture and allow for optimal gravity drainage. This configuration is particularly advantageous for Montreal's harsh winters, where snow accumulation can compromise the performance of a ground-mounted condenser.
Highlights of this installation:
-
Galvanized steel wall bracket , fixed to the foundation wall, guaranteeing stability and longevity.
-
Electrical wiring routed directly to a dedicated junction box, compliant with current standards.
-
Clean and discreet refrigerant path , with careful insulation and capping to protect the lines.
-
Optimal clearance height allowing free air circulation, without obstruction by external stairs.
This configuration not only ensures optimal machine performance, but also easy maintenance.
Energy performance and comfort for the customer
The installed Sharp Eco Inverter wall-mounted heat pump is designed to provide stable performance down to very low winter temperatures. This choice allows the customer to benefit from:
-
Reliable heating in winter and efficient air conditioning in summer.
-
Significant reductions on electricity bills , thanks to high energy efficiency (SEER and HSPF compliant with Energy Star standards).
-
Eligibility for provincial and federal subsidies for the energy transition, notably through programs applicable in the greater Montreal region, Laval, the North Shore and the South Shore.
Challenges and solutions during installation
One of the main challenges of this installation was the close proximity of the spiral metal staircase. To ensure maximum safety and avoid any traffic restrictions, our team carefully calculated the unit's positioning to meet the necessary clearances while maintaining a discreet aesthetic.
Additionally, limited access to the rear of the building required careful planning for the routing of wiring and refrigerant lines. Thanks to the experience of our technicians, the installation was completed in a single day, without disrupting the occupants' daily lives.
A sustainable choice for Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie
With this installation, the owner now benefits from a high-performance, energy-efficient HVAC system perfectly suited to Montreal conditions . The combination of Sharp technology and AirGreen expertise guarantees long-term comfort, with simplified maintenance and optimized performance.
At AirGreen , we make it a point of honor to combine precision engineering , respect for local architecture and attention to detail, so that each installation contributes to improving residential comfort while reducing the energy footprint of Montreal homes.
