Why the SHARP ZHU1 is a Game-Changer for Montreal Homes
Impressive Energy Efficiency with R-32 Refrigerant
At AirGreen, we understand the importance of energy conservation and sustainability. The SHARP ZHU1 uses R-32 refrigerant, a cutting-edge alternative with a significantly lower global warming potential compared to older refrigerants like R-22. Not only does this refrigerant improve the unit’s energy efficiency by 10%, but it also reduces the overall environmental footprint—ideal for eco-conscious homeowners in Montréal.
Optimal Performance in Extreme Cold
Montréal winters can be brutal, but the SHARP ZHU1 thrives even in sub-zero temperatures. With a heating capacity that remains efficient down to -27°C, this mini split ensures uninterrupted warmth throughout the chilliest months. Whether battling a deep freeze or enjoying mild spring days, this unit delivers consistent, reliable comfort.
Ultra-Quiet Operation
Home comfort isn’t just about temperature; noise levels play a significant role too. With sound pressure levels as low as 22 dB(A) for indoor operation and 49 dB(A) outdoors, the SHARP ZHU1 operates almost silently, allowing homeowners to enjoy peace and quiet alongside perfect climate control.
The Installation: A Blend of Expertise and Precision
The installation process in Montréal was meticulously planned to ensure maximum efficiency and aesthetics. The outdoor unit, measuring 30.72 x 10.59 x 21.25 inches, was securely mounted on the rooftop using specialized supports to guarantee stability and durability against wind and weather. The indoor unit, with dimensions of 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 inches, was installed in a central location to maximize airflow distribution across the space.
Our team ensured seamless connectivity between the indoor and outdoor units using high-quality 1/4" and 3/8" piping, and we double-checked all electrical connections to align with the unit’s 220V voltage requirement. Every detail, from the placement of the units to the calibration of the airflow, was handled with care to deliver optimal performance.
Advanced Features That Set the SHARP ZHU1 Apart
Plasmacluster Air Purification
One of the standout features of the SHARP ZHU1 is its Plasmacluster technology, which purifies the air by neutralizing airborne bacteria, viruses, and mold. This system mimics nature’s ion balance to create cleaner, healthier indoor air, making it a perfect choice for families and individuals with allergies or respiratory sensitivities.
Nature-Inspired Fan Blade Design
The SHARP ZHU1’s fan blades are inspired by the natural shapes of dragonfly wings, golden eagles, and albatrosses. These innovative designs improve airflow efficiency by up to 30%, reducing energy consumption while ensuring powerful, consistent airflow.
Coanda Airflow Control
With Coanda technology, the SHARP ZHU1 strategically directs airflow along walls and ceilings, ensuring even temperature distribution throughout the room. This eliminates cold drafts and creates a balanced, comfortable environment.
Smart Connectivity
The unit’s WiFi-enabled controls allow homeowners to monitor and adjust settings remotely. Features like real-time temperature and humidity monitoring, energy consumption tracking, and motion-sensor notifications make this system as intelligent as it is efficient.
