The article, chapter by chapter
We recently completed a Sharp Eco Inverter wall-mounted heat pump installation in a residential area of Anjou , characterized by its red brick buildings and open exterior layouts. The provided photo shows a clean facade, a uniform masonry wall, and a concrete foundation—an ideal environment for a durable installation that meets AirGreen standards.
A high-performance wall-mounted system: Sharp Eco Inverter
The installed heat pump belongs to the Sharp Eco Inverter range, widely recognized for:
-
its low energy consumption ,
-
its stable and quiet operation ,
-
its ability to provide reliable heating in winter ,
-
and its air conditioning performance adapted to the hot and humid summers of Greater Montreal.
Given the condenser design and known features of the Sharp residential range, this is a model consistent with the Sharp ZU1/TU series, two common ranges for simple wall installations.
Technical details visible on the installation
The photo reveals several essential elements of a professional and meticulous installation, compliant with AirGreen's requirements:
1. Installation on galvanized wall brackets
The outdoor unit is securely fixed using robust wall brackets , providing:
-
a safe elevation above the ground,
-
protection against snow accumulation in winter,
-
improved air circulation to promote efficiency,
-
simplified access for seasonal maintenance.
This height is essential to guarantee the performance of the Sharp heat pump in the heart of Quebec winters, especially during periods of frost and defrosting.
2. Controlled drainage
Natural traces are visible beneath the unit, indicating normal defrosting due to evaporation during the cold season. The elevated positioning allows this water to drain freely without risk of damaging the foundation.
3. Cable management and finishing
The refrigeration and electrical connections are made on the right side of the unit, protected by a vertical trunking running along the front panel. This approach ensures:
-
a distinctive aesthetic ,
-
protection against the elements,
-
and long-term robustness of the connections.
4. Optimal Location
The installation is carried out on an unobstructed facade, free from visual obstructions or overhanging vegetation. This choice maximizes:
-
Airflow , essential for heating and cooling cycles,
-
noise discretion ,
-
ease of access during maintenance visits.
Interior performance: four-season comfort
A Sharp wall-mounted heat pump works in tandem with a compact, discreet, and quiet indoor unit. Thanks to this installation, the occupants now benefit from:
-
rapid and stable cooling in summer,
-
efficient heating for much of the winter,
-
controlled dehumidification ,
-
and consistent comfort throughout the main rooms.
Inverter technology optimizes electricity consumption, resulting in substantial savings compared to fully electric heating.
An installation adapted to the climate of Anjou
Buildings in Anjou often feature clean, rigid brick facades, perfect for accommodating a wall-mounted heat pump. In this particular case, the environment offers:
-
an outside temperature controlled due to the clearance around the condenser,
-
an ideal positioning to avoid the recirculation of hot air,
-
sufficient clearance to allow for effective maintenance throughout the year.
The whole thing blends harmoniously into the residential landscape and meets the safety and performance standards required by AirGreen.

The job tools
Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.
Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.
How the job unfolds
The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.
We look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
Model, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
Floors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
A single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
Set on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
Connected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
A dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
Leak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
Remote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.

What we check on a job like this one
Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.
In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.
Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.
Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.
The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.
Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.
The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.
On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.
The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.
Is your home ready?
Check what applies at your place. A "no" is not a refusal: it is what we sort out during the estimate.
Good habits, once the unit is in place
Six simple habits that keep the unit going. Your list stays on this device.
What to do, season by season
Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.
- Clean the indoor unit's filters.
- Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
- Test cooling before the first hot days.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
The right pages, at the right time
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.
During defrost cycles. That water must drain away without forming ice.
2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.
Windows, insulation, orientation and how the room is used all count. Capacity is chosen on site.
3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.
One head per room, all on the same condenser. Each room keeps its own temperature.
4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.
It must stay accessible: it is what shuts the unit off for service.
