A modern comfort solution for a Montreal condo
At AirGreen , we recently completed the installation of a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump in a condo in the Ahuntsic-Cartierville district of Montreal. The goal was to offer the client an energy-efficient, quiet and efficient solution, perfectly suited to the configuration of her urban home.
The chosen wall unit, from the Sharp ZU1 range, met the essential criteria: reliable heating performance down to low temperatures, air conditioning comfort in summer and discreet integration into a modern living space.
Project analysis and installation preparation
Before proceeding, our team conducted a comprehensive assessment of the condo's thermal needs , which covered approximately 900 sq. ft. Several factors guided our selection and planning:
-
Exposure : the large bay window in the living room encouraged solar gain in summer, requiring suitable air conditioning capacity.
-
Insulation : well-insulated walls reduced losses, allowing the sizing of the heat pump to be optimized.
-
Accessibility : the wall installation had to be done on an interior wall directly overlooking a facade, which simplified the piping route and reduced the work.
These parameters determined that a 12,000 BTU unit was ideally suited to provide consistent comfort throughout the main space.
Key steps of installation
Fixing and strategic location
The indoor unit was mounted high on a central wall, promoting even air distribution throughout the living room and open-plan kitchen. The optimal height also allowed for more efficient operation in heating mode in winter.
Passage of conduits
We opted for a discreet piercing of the exterior facade , with a pipe route limited to approximately 2.5 meters. Everything was carefully covered with white capping in harmony with the aesthetics of the building.
Drainage management
A gravity drainage system was chosen, allowing condensation water to drain naturally, without requiring an additional pump.
Electrical connection
The proximity of the electrical panel facilitated the installation of a dedicated circuit breaker , ensuring safety and compliance with RBQ standards.
Results achieved and benefits for the customer
From the moment it was put into service, the difference was noticeable:
-
Immediate comfort : a stable and pleasant temperature in all the main rooms.
-
Remarkable silence : the Sharp unit is known for its low noise level, which is ideal in a condo setting.
-
Energy savings : thanks to its high energy efficiency, the customer will benefit from a reduction in their electricity bill, particularly in mid-season heating mode.
-
Grant eligibility : This Energy Star model allows you to benefit from financial assistance programs such as LogisVert and certain municipal subsidies, reducing the overall cost of the investment.
