An installation perfectly suited to a typical brick house in southwest Montreal
At AirGreen , we recently completed the installation of a Sharp ZU1 wall-mounted heat pump in a single-family residence in the LaSalle neighborhood, a residential area known for its red brick houses and typical covered balconies. This installation illustrates our expertise in adapting HVAC equipment to the architectural features of Greater Montreal homes.
Project context: comfort and efficiency in a sheltered space
The owner wanted to improve the thermal comfort of his ground floor while reducing his annual energy consumption. The Sharp ZU1 , with its high-efficiency inverter compressor and Ion Plasmacluster technology , was the optimal choice. This model is renowned for its consistent performance down to −25 °C , its reliability and its compatibility with Quebec grant programs.
Technical details of the installation
The outdoor unit was installed on galvanized wall brackets , securely fixed in brick masonry. This configuration ensures:
-
good air circulation around the condenser;
-
protection against the accumulation of snow and moisture ;
-
reduced vibrations thanks to silent blocks installed under the supports.
The refrigeration connections and electrical cables were carefully sheathed and routed through the rear wall using discreet beige capping , matching the facade. The passage to the interior head was made with a sealed and insulated drilling , guaranteeing optimal performance in all seasons.
Adaptation to site constraints
The installation required an intervention at intermediate height , under a wooden balcony structure. The AirGreen team took care of:
-
preserve the ventilation of the condenser , despite the proximity of the ceiling;
-
optimize side clearance to allow easy maintenance;
-
Secure electrical wiring with UV-resistant ties.
This approach allows the Sharp ZU1 unit to operate efficiently, without excessive noise or vibrations transmitted to the structure.
A high-performance and ecological model
The Sharp ZU1 operates with R-32 refrigerant , a more environmentally friendly fluid than R-410A, reducing its environmental impact while improving heat exchange. Its advantages include:
-
High coefficient of performance (COP greater than 4.0) ;
-
Eco Inverter technology to automatically adjust power according to actual demand;
-
Advanced Ion Plasmacluster Filtration , improving indoor air quality;
-
Compact and quiet design , ideal for urban environments like LaSalle.
Result: immediate comfort and lasting performance
From the moment it was put into service, the residence benefited from consistent thermal comfort and a significant reduction in noise compared to the old system. The owner particularly appreciated the temperature stability and controlled consumption , proof that the Sharp ZU1 perfectly meets the requirements of Montreal winters.
