Effective integration into a house under renovation
At AirGreen , we recently installed a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump in a home undergoing renovation in the Villeray–Saint-Michel–Parc-Extension neighborhood of Montreal . This project perfectly illustrates our team's ability to integrate a high-performance HVAC system into an environment still under construction, anticipating finishing needs and ensuring a durable installation.
Installation context
The client wanted to take advantage of the interior renovation period to replace their old, energy-intensive electric heating system with a more ecological and economical solution . The Sharp ZU1 series heat pump, 12,000 BTU , was chosen because of:
-
Its superior energy efficiency , Energy Star certified.
-
Its heating capacity down to -25°C , suitable for Montreal winters.
-
Its reliability and ease of maintenance.
Technical details and integration choices
The installation took place on a newly renovated wall, adjacent to a window overlooking the alley. The main steps include:
-
Precise wall drilling allowing the passage of refrigerant pipes to the exterior, without interfering with the new interior finishes.
-
Discreet white capping , installed to match the future paint and planned moldings.
-
Gravity drain for condensate evacuation, limiting the risk of additional maintenance.
-
External support on galvanized wall brackets , designed to ensure stability and resistance to freeze-thaw cycles.
Challenges encountered and solutions applied
-
Renovation in progress : the wall still had areas to grout and paint. Our technicians carefully positioned the unit to facilitate subsequent finishing.
-
Proximity to the window : the drilling had to be adjusted so that the passage of the conduits would not affect the structure or the insulation around the window frame.
Benefits for the customer
With this installation, the customer now benefits from an HVAC system that:
-
Significantly improves comfort in both summer and winter.
-
Helps reduce your electricity bill thanks to optimal efficiency.
-
Makes the house eligible for several government grant programs (LogisVert, Rénoclimat, Greener Homes).
