A discreet, high-performance, eco-friendly heating and cooling solution
At AirGreen, we recently carried out a HVAC installation of a SHARP ZU1 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in a single-family home located in Montréal-Nord. This project is a perfect example of our commitment to quality, energy performance, and residential comfort—even in urban areas with harsh climate conditions. This heat pump is equipped with Plasmacluster technology, runs on R-32 refrigerant, and delivers consistent performance down to -27°C, making it an ideal choice for the Québec climate.
Why choose the SHARP ZU1 18,000 BTU in Montréal-Nord?
The SHARP ZU1 model was selected for several technical and practical reasons. The client was looking for an energy-efficient, quiet solution capable of effectively heating her open-concept space, while also offering cooling during the summer months.
Key features of the unit include:
-
18,000 BTU capacity – Perfect for a large open room, such as a dining area or living room with adjoining kitchen.
-
Plasmacluster Ion Technology – Purifies indoor air by eliminating mold, viruses, bacteria, and allergens.
-
R-32 refrigerant – More environmentally friendly than R-410A, with a 66% lower global warming potential (GWP).
-
Extreme cold operation down to -27°C – Perfect for Montréal-Nord’s winter climate.
A customized installation in a complex room layout
In this home, the wall-mounted heat pump was installed on a bright interior wall, adjacent to a large glass door and double-pane window. The room’s configuration required special attention for visual alignment, as well as ensuring a balanced air distribution throughout the space.
Our certified technicians conducted:
-
A heat load analysis to ensure the 18,000 BTU unit was properly sized.
-
Installation of the indoor unit at a high, centered position to avoid direct airflow on occupants.
-
Discreet routing of electrical and refrigeration lines to preserve the room’s aesthetics.
-
Outdoor unit placement on a vibration-dampening base, protected from snow buildup.
Enhanced comfort and air quality optimization
The SHARP ZU1 comes with unique features that were especially appreciated by the client:
-
Coanda heating mode – Warm air flows along the floor to keep feet warm and cozy.
-
Multi-space air distribution with a large oscillating flap, providing air coverage up to 50 feet.
-
Triple filtration: Antibacterial HEPA, activated charcoal deodorizer, and washable pre-filter.
-
Automatic self-cleaning – Reduces humidity and prevents mold buildup inside the unit.
-
Built-in Wi-Fi – Remote control via mobile app, even while away from home or at work.
Rebates and energy efficiency
This SHARP wall-mounted heat pump qualifies for the Hydro-Québec LogisVert program, with rebates of up to $1,704, depending on the home’s energy consumption profile and system type.
With a SEER of 24 and HSPF up to 11.5, this unit delivers:
-
Significant reductions in electricity usage, especially in heating mode.
-
Fast return on investment, thanks to seasonal energy savings.
-
A warranty of up to 10 years, offered by the manufacturer (compressor, parts, and labor).
Customer testimonial and final outcome
The homeowner told us she noticed an immediate improvement in thermal comfort in the room within the first few hours of operation. The system is nearly silent, even at high power, and she especially values the purified air quality, especially during winter when windows are often kept closed.
She also praised our team’s punctuality, clean workmanship, and the quality of the system walkthrough and setup instructions provided during commissioning.
