A discreet but highly technical residential project
At AirGreen , we recently installed a Sharp Eco Inverter wall-mounted heat pump in a residential building in Sainte-Dorothée, Laval . Behind the apparent simplicity of this project lies careful planning: not only did we need to optimize the system's energy performance, but we also needed to ensure a harmonious integration with the house's architecture.
An informed customer choice
The client was looking for an energy-efficient, quiet, and durable solution to replace their inefficient and energy-consuming portable air conditioner. After careful analysis, the Sharp Eco Inverter wall-mounted heat pump emerged as the best option, thanks in particular to:
-
Its inverter technology , which automatically adjusts the power according to actual heating or air conditioning needs.
-
Its energy efficiency helps reduce annual electricity costs.
-
Its ability to maintain stable comfort even during harsh Laval winters .
-
Its Plasmacluster Ion system, contributing to superior indoor air quality.
Features of the installation
The outdoor compressor has been mounted on a raised galvanized steel stand , ensuring both robustness and protection against ground moisture and snow accumulation. This choice avoids the frequent problems of premature wear encountered when the equipment rests directly on the ground.
The routing of the refrigerant and electrical conduits was carefully planned. Discreet white capping was installed to channel the lines to the electrical panel, ensuring both lasting protection and aesthetic integration with the house's pale facade.
We also installed a safety disconnect directly next to the outdoor unit, complying with current electrical standards while providing convenient access for future maintenance.
Challenges encountered and solutions provided
-
Proximity to the window : the outdoor unit had to be placed a good distance from the opening in order to comply with clearance regulations while optimizing air circulation.
-
Condensate management : in this specific case, gravity drainage was preferred thanks to the configuration of the land, thus avoiding the installation of a lifting pump.
Results obtained
Upon commissioning, the customer immediately noticed:
-
Nearly silent operation of the outdoor unit.
-
Indoor temperature stability without the usual fluctuations of older systems.
-
An anticipated reduction in the annual energy bill of nearly 25%, according to our estimates based on the typical consumption of a Laval house.
