Project Overview: SHARP ZU1 24,000 BTU Mini Split in Oka
Our client in Oka needed a system that would deliver efficient cooling in the summer and powerful heating during Quebec’s cold winters. The SHARP ZU1 mini split heat pump was the perfect fit, offering a cooling capacity of 24,000 BTU and the ability to maintain heat down to an impressive -27°C. Beyond functionality, the SHARP ZU1 unit includes WiFi connectivity, enabling our client to control their home’s climate effortlessly from their smartphone. This installation not only enhances comfort but also brings significant energy savings, which we’ll explore below.
Why Choose the SHARP ZU1 for Your Home?
The SHARP ZU1 model stands out among mini split systems for several reasons, making it an ideal choice for Quebec’s fluctuating weather conditions. Here’s what makes this unit exceptional:
- High Efficiency: With a SEER rating of 22.0, this heat pump offers substantial energy savings. Clients can enjoy a comfortable home without worrying about sky-high energy bills.
- Extended Warranty: AirGreen offers a 10-year warranty on the compressor, parts, and labor. This assurance provides peace of mind, as clients know their investment is protected.
- Eco-Friendly R-32 Refrigerant: SHARP uses R-32, a refrigerant with lower environmental impact, reducing the carbon footprint while ensuring effective cooling and heating.
- Quiet Operation: With a sound pressure level of 25-49 dB(A) indoors, this unit operates quietly, blending seamlessly into the home environment without causing any disturbances.
The Installation Process in Oka
The installation took place on a picturesque property in Oka, a location that beautifully blends nature and modern living. Our team began by assessing the site to ensure optimal placement for both the indoor and outdoor units. The indoor unit (Serial Number: AY-XP24ZU1) was carefully mounted in a central area to maximize airflow throughout the space. Measuring 41.42 inches in length, 9.80 inches in depth, and 12.44 inches in height, this unit was a perfect fit for the client’s living room, providing efficient heating and cooling coverage.
The outdoor unit (Serial Number: AE-X24ZU1) was strategically installed to endure Quebec's extreme winter conditions. Equipped with SHARP's innovative defrosting system, it ensures continuous heating even when temperatures plummet. The Plasmacluster technology incorporated in the unit also works to purify the air, eliminating airborne contaminants, which is particularly beneficial in a natural setting like Oka.
Plasmacluster Technology: Cleaner Air for Healthier Living
One of the standout features of the SHARP ZU1 series is its Plasmacluster technology, which generates positive and negative ions to clean and purify indoor air. This advanced filtration system goes beyond standard HVAC filters by neutralizing bacteria, mold, viruses, and other pollutants. For our client in Oka, this means not only a comfortable home but also a healthier indoor environment.
Benefits of Plasmacluster Technology:
- Removes Airborne Viruses and Bacteria: Provides cleaner, safer air by neutralizing harmful pathogens.
- Eliminates Odors: Helps in reducing unwanted smells, making indoor spaces fresher and more pleasant.
- Decreases Allergens: Neutralizes common allergens, including pet dander and dust mites, creating a more comfortable home for those with sensitivities.
Energy Efficiency and Cost Savings
The SHARP ZU1’s impressive efficiency rating means lower utility bills for the client, especially during Quebec’s high-demand seasons. Thanks to the 22.0 SEER rating, this unit can significantly reduce energy consumption compared to older systems or non-inverter models. Additionally, with the use of the R-32 refrigerant, this heat pump not only minimizes energy use but also supports environmental sustainability, aligning with AirGreen’s commitment to eco-friendly solutions.
Financial Incentives: Maximizing Savings with Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert Grant
One of the most exciting aspects of this installation was the Hydro-Québec LogisVert Grant eligibility. Given the SHARP ZU1’s high energy efficiency, the client qualifies for a $2,688 grant, the highest available in the 18,000 BTU category. This grant brings substantial savings, making this advanced system an even more attractive investment. At AirGreen, we guide our clients through the grant application process, ensuring they receive the financial benefits they deserve.
