A winter installation optimized for comfort and performance
At AirGreen , we know that indoor comfort shouldn't depend on the seasons. This winter in Laval , our team installed a Sharp ZU1 wall-mounted heat pump , a system renowned for its reliability, energy efficiency, and ability to withstand Quebec's harsh winters. This installation perfectly illustrates our expertise in installing residential HVAC systems in the harsh climates of Greater Montreal.
A typical Laval facade suitable for wall installation
The residence, a single-family home with aggregate siding, required a careful approach to ensure both mechanical stability and winter safety for the outdoor unit. We opted for installation on galvanized aluminum wall brackets , positioned at a sufficient height to prevent obstruction due to snow accumulation. This choice not only ensures better durability , but also optimal ventilation of the condenser throughout the year.
Choosing the Sharp ZU1: a reliable and efficient heat pump
The Sharp ZU1 is one of the brand's newest models, using R-32 refrigerant , which is more environmentally friendly and efficient than the older R-410A gases. This system is designed to provide consistent performance down to -25°C , making it an ideal solution for the Laval climate.
Among its main advantages:
-
High energy efficiency with a SEER that can exceed 23.
-
Quiet operation , both indoors and outdoors.
-
Inverter technology ensuring precise temperature control.
-
Compatibility with provincial grant programs (Hydro-Québec, ÉnerGuide).
By choosing the Sharp range, the owner benefits from a system that is economical , ecological and sustainable , perfectly meeting Quebec energy efficiency standards.
A careful installation down to the smallest detail
Every step of this installation has been designed to maximize system performance. Our technicians have:
-
Drilled the foundation with precision , ensuring a perfectly sealed passage for the refrigerant pipes.
-
Cover the connections with a rigid conduit matching the facade, guaranteeing a clean aesthetic and protection against bad weather.
-
Carried out a precise leveling of the wall structure to ensure natural gravity flow of condensates.
-
Tested and calibrated the operation of the heat pump immediately after switching on, even in negative temperatures.
The indoor unit (not visible here) was installed in a central location on the ground floor, allowing for even heat distribution and efficient cooling in summer.
