A flat roof installation designed for durability and efficiency
At AirGreen , we are regularly called upon to intervene in a variety of contexts that require specific expertise. The installation of this Sharp Eco Inverter wall-mounted heat pump in the Saint-Laurent borough is an excellent example. On this project, the client owned a residential building with a flat roof, a situation that requires a specific approach in terms of support, waterproofing, and duct management.
Why choose a Sharp Eco Inverter?
The Sharp Eco Inverter heat pump is a popular solution in Greater Montreal, particularly for:
-
Its efficient operation even in moderate cold conditions.
-
Its inverter technology allows precise adjustment of power and reduced energy consumption.
-
Its compact size is ideal for urban installations on flat roofs or small balconies.
-
Its compatibility with Quebec subsidy programs aimed at energy efficiency.
With this model, the customer benefits from four-season comfort : efficient air conditioning in summer and reliable heating in winter, while reducing operating costs.
Technical details of the installation
Flat roof support
The external compressor was mounted on a solid aluminum support, which was itself placed on wooden skids treated with insulating plates. This configuration allows:
-
To avoid any direct contact with the roof membrane, thus preserving the waterproofing.
-
To reduce vibrations transmitted to the structure.
-
To facilitate future maintenance of the heat pump.
Protection and connections
-
The unit is connected to a secure electrical box attached directly to the bracket.
-
The refrigerant pipes and wiring are protected by a curved metal cover ensuring a sealed exit through the roof.
-
The layout complies with the electrical and mechanical standards applicable in Quebec, guaranteeing a safe and durable installation.
Climate context
As the device is installed on an exposed roof, it was necessary to anticipate:
-
Montreal's climate variations (rain, snow, ice).
-
The need for sufficient clearances around the compressor to optimize airflow.
-
The orientation of the unit to limit the accumulation of wind-blown snow.
An exemplary project for multi-unit buildings
This type of installation is common in urban districts like Saint-Laurent, Villeray or Rosemont , where flat roofs dominate. AirGreen's intervention not only ensures optimal performance of the heat pump , but also peace of mind for the owner thanks to a compliant, robust installation designed to last.
What the customer gains from it
-
Increased energy efficiency : reduced heating and cooling bills.
-
Comfort in all seasons : reliable heating down to -25°C and efficient air conditioning during heat waves.
-
Durability : secure installation on a flat roof, limiting risks linked to infiltration and vibrations.
-
Simplified maintenance : easy access to the compressor for annual inspections and services.
