An Unmatched Heating and Cooling Experience Tailored for Sainte-Thérèse’s Climate
At AirGreen, we take great pride in providing our clients with cutting-edge HVAC solutions tailored for optimal performance, no matter the season. Our latest project brought us to the scenic city of Sainte-Thérèse, where we completed an impressive installation of a SHARP ZU1 Mini Split Heat Pump. This energy-efficient unit not only enhances indoor comfort but also ensures top-tier performance even during the harshest Quebec winters. Here’s a detailed account of this installation, along with some key highlights of the impressive SHARP ZU1.
Understanding the Needs of Our Sainte-Thérèse Client
Sainte-Thérèse, known for its charming neighborhoods and historic charm, experiences wide temperature fluctuations throughout the year. Our client sought an HVAC solution that could offer reliable heating in the freezing winter months, as well as efficient cooling during the humid summer days. The SHARP ZU1, with its 18,000 BTU cooling capacity and outstanding performance down to -27°C, was the perfect answer to this challenge.
Key Features of the SHARP ZU1 Mini Split Heat Pump
Extreme Cold Performance
One of the standout features of the SHARP ZU1 Mini Split is its ability to deliver heat even in bone-chilling temperatures as low as -27°C. This ensures that our clients in Sainte-Thérèse stay warm and cozy, even when winter decides to show its fiercest face. The heat pump’s HOT GAS PIPE system prevents ice buildup, keeping the unit functioning smoothly throughout extreme weather conditions.
Ultra-Quiet Operation
When installing a unit in a peaceful residential area, noise levels matter. The SHARP ZU1 boasts a whisper-quiet indoor operation, ranging from 25 to 49 dB(A), making it perfect for maintaining a serene indoor environment. Even the outdoor unit, with a sound pressure level of 52 dB(A), operates unobtrusively, preserving the neighborhood's tranquility.

Installation Challenges and How We Overcame Them
Our team was tasked with ensuring that the heat pump’s placement maximized efficiency while adhering to the aesthetic and practical needs of the homeowner. The sleek design of the SHARP indoor unit, with dimensions of 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 inches, made it possible to mount it discreetly in the living space without compromising on decor. Meanwhile, the outdoor unit was installed securely, with special attention given to drainage to prevent water accumulation during defrost cycles.
Smart Placement
The outdoor unit, measuring 33.47 x 13 x 27.94 inches, was positioned strategically to ensure optimal air circulation and efficient operation. Our team made sure that all connections were meticulously sealed, preventing energy loss and enhancing the system’s longevity.
Grant Benefits: A Financial Win for the Homeowner
One of the exciting aspects of this project was informing the homeowner about the significant financial incentives available. The SHARP ZU1 qualifies for the highest LogisVert Grant from Hydro-Québec, amounting to $2,640 for units in the 18,000 BTU category. This grant not only reduces the initial investment but also underscores the environmental benefits of installing a high-efficiency heat pump.
Superior Air Quality with Plasmacluster Technology
The SHARP ZU1 is not just a heating and cooling powerhouse; it also enhances indoor air quality through its unique Plasmacluster ion technology. This innovative feature neutralizes airborne bacteria, viruses, and allergens, creating a healthier living space for the entire family. Say goodbye to musty odors and hello to fresh, clean air, all year round.
What Makes This Installation Unique?
Every project we undertake is unique, and this one was no exception. The Sainte-Thérèse homeowner was particularly concerned about indoor air quality and energy efficiency, which made the SHARP ZU1 an ideal match. The unit’s smart Wi-Fi capabilities allow for remote monitoring and adjustment, providing maximum convenience and energy savings. The client can now preheat their home on a cold winter evening with just a tap on their smartphone or ensure the house stays cool during summer heatwaves.
