Installation of a Sharp ZU1 wall-mounted heat pump in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie

A comfort solution adapted to Rosemont homes

At AirGreen , we regularly carry out wall-mounted heat pump projects in residential areas of Montreal. In this installation, our team worked in a typical house in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , an area where there are a large number of duplexes and triplexes with compact but bright rooms. Our clients' goal: to improve four-season comfort with a Sharp ZU1 heat pump running on R-32 refrigerant , known for its energy efficiency and its ability to heat even in Quebec's cold weather.

Why choose the Sharp ZU1 R-32?

The Sharp ZU1 series is one of the latest models designed for the Quebec climate. Here are its main advantages:

  • Reliable heating capacity down to -25°C , perfectly suited to Montreal.

  • Inverter technology to adjust power according to actual needs.

  • R-32 refrigerant , more environmentally friendly and efficient than R-410A.

  • Sleek design that fits discreetly into a renovated or traditional interior.

  • Eligibility for Hydro-Québec and LogisVert subsidies , promoting an accelerated return on investment.

Steps to moving into a Rosemont duplex

Our technicians carried out an optimized installation, taking into account the constraints specific to old buildings in the area.

Preliminary analysis

  • Checking available wall space: clear wall, ideal for air circulation.

  • Study of the passage for refrigerant connections: choice of a short route to limit losses.

  • Check the proximity of the electrical panel to ensure a safe connection.

Installation of the indoor unit

  • Install the Sharp ZU1 wall head at approximately 7 feet in height, ensuring even air distribution.

  • Respect the clearance from the molded ceiling and woodwork, without altering the aesthetics of the room.

  • Sturdy mounting with a wall plate suitable for common plaster walls in Rosemont homes.

Connection to the outdoor unit

  • Discreet drilling with white capping to match the facade.

  • Refrigerant connections insulated and protected against humidity.

  • Connection to a compact outdoor unit installed on a slab, suitable for snowy winters.

Condensate management

  • Gravity drainage provided to the outside, avoiding the use of a lifting pump.

  • Optimized slope to prevent any water backflow.

Results obtained

Owners now benefit from a system:

  • Quiet (reduced noise level in the rooms).

  • Economical : estimated 30% reduction in their heating costs compared to their old electric system.

  • Versatile : efficient cooling in summer and stable heating in winter.

Maintenance and practical advice

At AirGreen, we always remind you of the importance of HVAC maintenance :

  • Clean the filter every 2 to 3 months.

  • Complete annual inspection of the heat pump to maintain energy efficiency.

  • Regularly check clearances around the outdoor unit (snow, leaves).
