An HVAC solution adapted to Montreal's brick buildings
In a residential area of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , AirGreen recently installed a Sharp ZU1 series wall-mounted heat pump on a typical Montreal brick building. This installation perfectly illustrates our expertise in urban environments where every technical detail counts to ensure comfort, performance and durability.
Why Sharp's ZU1 series?
The Sharp ZU1 series is one of the most popular in Greater Montreal. It combines:
-
A capacity of 12,000 BTU , perfectly suited for an average-sized home.
-
High energy efficiency, Energy Star certified, reducing electricity costs.
-
Stable operation down to -25°C , which guarantees reliable heating even in the middle of Montreal winter.
-
Eco Inverter technology ensures precise temperature control and quiet operation.
These advantages make it a preferred choice for families living in brick buildings where energy efficiency and comfort are essential.
The technical challenges of the installation
The installation of this Sharp wall-mounted heat pump required meticulous planning to respect the building's configuration:
-
Secure outdoor mounting : The condenser has been installed on sturdy wall brackets , keeping the unit off the ground and protecting it from snow and water accumulation.
-
Vertical white capping : the refrigerant lines and electrical wiring have been carefully integrated into a white capping rising along the entire brick facade, ensuring both aesthetics and protection of the ducts.
-
Dedicated power supply : the condenser is connected to an independent circuit breaker, compliant with the standards of the Quebec Electrical Code.
-
Gravity drainage : the configuration of the land and the masonry allowed the condensates to be transported by gravity, without the need for a pump.
Each step has been designed to combine visual discretion and technical efficiency.
Comfort and savings for the customer
Since its commissioning, this installation has offered several advantages:
-
Effective air conditioning during summer heat waves.
-
Stable and economical heating even at -20°C.
-
Reduced energy costs thanks to the performance of inverter technology.
-
Improved interior comfort , with a uniform temperature throughout the home.
The owner also benefits from access to subsidies available in Quebec for the installation of a high-efficiency heat pump, which significantly reduces the net investment.
