A wall-mounted heat pump installation perfectly suited to residential comfort in Laval
At AirGreen , we recently installed a Sharp ZHU1 wall-mounted heat pump in a residential garage in the Chomedey area of Laval . This installation perfectly illustrates our expertise in modern HVAC solutions , suitable for both living spaces and outbuildings such as garages, which are often overlooked in terms of thermal comfort.
A strategic choice: the Sharp ZHU1
The Sharp ZHU1 range is part of the new generation of units operating with R-32 refrigerant, renowned for its energy efficiency and low environmental impact. With a power range varying from 12,000 to 18,000 BTU , this model is ideally suited to medium-sized rooms, while ensuring stable performance down to −25 °C .
By choosing this wall-mounted heat pump, the owner benefits from:
-
Fast and even heating during the Laval winter.
-
Efficient air conditioning in summer, even in a garage or workshop.
-
Reduced consumption , thanks to integrated inverter technology.
-
The possibility of accessing grant programs available for Energy Star equipment in Quebec.
Features of installing in a residential garage
The installation was carried out on a concrete load-bearing wall , located between the garage and the entrance to the outdoor parking lot. Several technical points were taken into account:
-
Metal wall bracket securely fixed to the central concrete column.
-
Discreet passage of refrigerant and electrical connections , with routing in a technical duct towards the interior.
-
Gravity drainage of condensation water, avoiding the addition of a pump.
-
Space optimization : despite the presence of winter tires, a bicycle and an electric vehicle, the outdoor unit was positioned so as not to hinder traffic or the use of the garage.
This approach allows the owner to maintain a functional space, while enjoying constant thermal comfort .
Challenges and solutions provided
A garage presents specific constraints:
-
Moisture and condensation – We have added high quality insulation around the pipes to prevent any risk of frost or drips.
-
Vibrations and noise – Anti-vibration mounts installed under the compressor ensure quiet operation, essential in a family home.
-
Electrical safety – The unit has been connected to a dedicated circuit breaker, compliant with current standards, ensuring optimal protection.
