A comfort solution adapted to urban realities
In condominium buildings in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood of Montreal , space available for heating and air conditioning equipment is often limited. This is why installing aSharp wall-mounted heat pump is a perfectly adapted solution: compact, quiet, and efficient, it blends harmoniously into an urban living space without encroaching on the living area.
Client context and needs
The owner of this condo was looking for an energy-efficient option to maintain optimal comfort in both summer and winter, while reducing his dependence on traditional electric heating. The natural choice was a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump , renowned for its reliability and energy efficiency, particularly in high-density residential environments like Rosemont.
The characteristics of the installed unit
-
Brand: Sharp
-
Type: Wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split)
-
Capacity: 12,000 BTU , ideal for the target area (approximately 35 m² – living room and open space).
-
Energy performance : Energy Star certified, stable operation down to -25°C.
-
Noise level : less than 22 dB at low speed, an essential criterion in co-ownership.
This unit offers an excellent compromise between energy efficiency , quiet comfort and eligibility for provincial subsidies (notably LogisVert and Hydro-Québec, according to seasonal efficiency criteria).
Technical challenges encountered
Moving into a condo often involves structural and regulatory constraints :
-
Load-bearing walls require precise and limited drilling.
-
Refrigerant pipes must be routed in an aesthetic manner, respecting the rules of the co-ownership.
-
Condensate management must avoid any risk of water damage in a restricted indoor environment.
Solutions implemented by AirGreen
Our technicians met these challenges with a methodical approach:
-
Drilling and routing of the conduits : a discreet route along the ceiling was chosen to minimize the visual impact. The conduits were protected by white capping, blending perfectly into the decor.
-
Condensate drain management : a gravity slope was chosen to avoid the installation of a noisy lifting pump.
-
Safety and Compliance : The unit has been fixed to a sturdy interior wall, with anti-vibration sealing to prevent any sound resonance.
Results obtained
Upon startup, the customer noted:
-
Uniform freshness in the living room and adjacent space.
-
A significant reduction in electricity consumption compared to a portable air conditioner.
-
A gain in acoustic comfort , the unit operating almost inaudibly, a major advantage in an urban environment.
