A discreet and efficient HVAC solution adapted to a Montreal interior
At AirGreen , we recently completed a Sharp Eco Inverter wall-mounted heat pump installation in a charming home in Montreal's Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood. The unit, carefully integrated above a light opening, perfectly illustrates how modern HVAC technology can complement an already decorated living space without compromising the interior aesthetic.
Project background
The owner of this duplex had expressed two specific needs: to improve comfort in the summer during increasingly frequent heat waves and to benefit from an efficient heating solution during the Montreal winter, particularly during the cold days of January and February. The layout of the living room, with large southwest-facing windows, created a significant heat gain that the old air conditioning unit was no longer able to compensate for.
Choice of brand and model
We recommended a wall-mounted Sharp Eco Inverter , known for its reliability and quiet operation. This model offers a capacity of approximately 12,000 BTUs , which perfectly matched the energy needs of this living area. Inverter technology allows for power modulation based on temperature variations, thus reducing electricity consumption and extending the life of the compressor.
Technical details of the installation
-
Strategic positioning : the wall unit was mounted high above a central space to ensure even air distribution throughout the ground floor.
-
Discreet drilling : a single drilling was sufficient to connect the internal head to the external compressor. The route was reduced to a strict minimum, limiting the piping length to approximately 3 meters.
-
Condensate management : the drain was connected by gravity, thus avoiding the need for a pump and reducing the risk of additional maintenance.
-
Wiring and power supply : we connected the device directly to the existing electrical panel, with a dedicated circuit breaker, guaranteeing safety and compliance with the standards of the Quebec Electrical Code.
-
Aesthetic finish : we used a white capping adapted to the existing moldings, allowing for discreet visual integration.
Challenges encountered and solutions provided
One of the major challenges of this project was the available space: the unit had to be placed above a piece of art already hanging on the wall. To avoid any interference with air diffusion and to respect the aesthetics, we adjusted the installation height and secured the unit with reinforced brackets. The result: a stable, efficient, and elegant installation.
Results obtained
The difference was immediately noticeable. Fresh air was distributed evenly throughout the living and dining rooms, creating immediate comfort. In heating mode, the unit is able to maintain a stable temperature even when the outside thermometer dips below -20°C . The owner has already noticed a significant reduction in energy consumption , compared to his old air conditioner and electric space heaters.
Available Grants and Programs
Sharp Eco Inverter wall-mounted heat pumps are eligible for certain financial assistance programs, such as Rénoclimat and LogisVert . In this case, we assisted the client in the application process, maximizing their return on investment. The installation not only improved their comfort but also optimized their energy budget.
