An elegant and efficient installation in the heart of Plateau-Mont-Royal
At AirGreen , we recently completed the installation of a Sharp ZHU1 wall-mounted heat pump in a charming condo in Plateau-Mont-Royal , an iconic area of Montreal where energy efficiency and comfort are priorities for owners. This project perfectly illustrates our approach: combining cutting-edge Japanese technology , aesthetic discretion and meticulous HVAC installation adapted to Montreal's urban realities.
A highly effective solution for Montreal condos
The Sharp ZHU1 , a wall-mounted heat pump with R-32 refrigerant , stands out for its high energy efficiency and its ability to provide constant comfort down to -25 °C . In a typical Plateau condo, where spaces are often compact and ceilings are low, this type of equipment is ideal:
-
Discreet wall format , blending harmoniously into interior decoration.
-
Remarkably quiet , perfect for open living spaces.
-
Inverter technology guarantees smooth operation and substantial savings on energy bills.
Thanks to its extreme cold design, the ZHU1 ensures stable performance even during the harsh winters of Greater Montreal, while reducing dependence on electric supplemental heating.
Technical details and installation approach
Our team carried out an optimized installation for this Plateau-Mont-Royal condo:
-
Indoor head installed high above a wall-mounted TV, ensuring even air distribution without direct drafts.
-
Straight wall outlet , minimizing the length of the refrigerant path and promoting maximum thermal efficiency .
-
Carefully fitted white capping , ensuring a clean and uniform finish, in perfect harmony with the light walls of the room.
-
Gravity condensate drainage , without additional pump, which simplifies maintenance and improves system reliability.
This configuration not only offers impeccable aesthetics, but also increased durability thanks to the reduction of mechanical stress on the refrigerant lines.
Sharp's choice: technology, reliability and comfort
Sharp heat pumps have earned the trust of many Montreal residents thanks to their manufacturing quality and their exclusive Plasmacluster technology , which purifies the ambient air while conditioning it.
The ZHU1 model combines:
-
A high-efficiency Energy Star certified compressor,
-
An extended operating range (−25°C to +46°C),
-
And a minimalist design ideal for modern urban environments.
This installation is part of our commitment to offering sustainable HVAC solutions , adapted to the ecological and architectural requirements of Greater Montreal.
Why Plateau-Mont-Royal requires a tailored approach
Buildings in the Plateau-Mont-Royal often feature load-bearing brick walls , low ceilings , and shared spaces that require careful planning.
During this project, our technicians:
-
Evaluated the best blowing direction to optimize air distribution in the room.
-
Choose a minimalist route to reduce energy losses.
-
Ensured an installation without visual nuisance , an essential point for downtown condominiums.
The result: a quiet, efficient and elegant installation, perfectly adapted to Montreal's urban life.
Energy subsidies and savings
Sharp ZHU1 heat pumps meet the criteria of several provincial and federal financial assistance programs , notably for their superior energy efficiency and their use of low-impact R-32 refrigerant .
Plateau-Mont-Royal property owners can thus benefit from credits and subsidies to reduce their initial investment, while enjoying a significant reduction in long-term operating costs.
