In this single-family home in Boucherville , our team installed aSharp wall-mounted heat pump in the main living area. The client's objective was clear: to transform this bright, windowed living room/office into a comfortable space year-round, without compromising the aesthetics of the media wall where the television will be installed.
A bright living room that needed controlled comfort
The room shown in the photo is typical of houses on the South Shore:
-
Two large twin windows frame the central wall;
-
A desk with a screen, headphones and electronic accessories occupies the space;
-
A wall mount for a television is already in place in the center of the wall.
This type of configuration often creates comfort challenges:
-
Summer overheating occurs when the sun directly hits the windows;
-
Cold spots near windows in winter;
-
Significant temperature variation between the office area and the rest of the living room.
The client therefore wanted:
-
a silent solution for working and relaxing;
-
a powerful device, but visually discreet ;
-
a system capable of providing air conditioning and heating with excellent energy efficiency.
Choosing the Sharp TU 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump
For this project, we recommended a Sharp TU wall-mounted heat pump of approximately 18,000 BTU , perfectly suited for a large open ground floor room.
Performance and efficiency
The Sharp TU series offers:
-
Inverter technology that continuously adjusts power according to actual heating or cooling demand;
-
very good energy efficiency, allowing for a reduction in electricity consumption and the overall heating bill;
-
a comfortable operating range for Quebec winters, ideal as a complement to an existing heating system.
R-32 refrigerant, more modern and more responsible
Like other recent Sharp ranges, this heat pump uses R-32 refrigerant , classified A2L:
-
Reduced global warming potential compared to older refrigerants;
-
Improved volumetric efficiency, allowing a lower charge to be used for the same performance;
-
Compliance with current standards for residential systems installed in Quebec.
A seamless integration between the two windows
The photo clearly shows the care taken with the interior integration:
-
The Sharp wall-mounted head is installed high up, centered above the television mount ;
-
It aligns harmoniously with the top of the windows, creating a coherent visual line;
-
The white color of the unit blends perfectly with the framing and alternating canvases.
This position offers several advantages:
-
Optimal air distribution
The unit is positioned to blow the conditioned or heated air along the wall, allowing the airflow to reach the center of the room, the office area, and the passageway. -
Freedom of development
The wall-mounted TV bracket below remains perfectly usable: the screen will not obstruct air circulation or access to the heat pump for maintenance. -
Clean, minimalist aesthetic
No visible pipes disrupt the wall finish. The routing of refrigeration lines, the drain, and wiring is carefully planned to remain invisible in the living space .
Technical details of the installation
Inside
Our technicians have:
-
fixed the heat pump mounting plate ensuring perfect solidity (walls often made of gypsum on a wooden frame);
-
checked the clearances required by Sharp above, below and on the sides of the unit;
-
optimized the angle of the horizontal and vertical shutters in order to limit drafts directly onto the workstation.
The result: a device that operates in very quiet mode , ideal for video conferences, extended work periods or movie nights.
Exterior side
Even though the outdoor unit is not visible in the photo, its placement was designed with the same logic in mind:
-
installation on a wall bracket or raised base , protected from snow accumulation;
-
sufficient clearance for air circulation and defrosting operations;
-
insulated and protected refrigeration lines in a discreet external casing .
Particular attention is paid to the management of the condensate drain , which is essential both for air conditioning in the summer and for defrosting in the winter.
Four-season comfort for a Boucherville home
With this Sharp wall-mounted heat pump, the customer now benefits from:
In summer
-
of a living room that stays cool even in the middle of a heatwave , despite the large windows;
-
a reduction in indoor humidity , which greatly improves perceived comfort;
-
the ability to set a precise temperature to work all day without discomfort.
In winter
-
of a gentle and even heat , without the sensation of a cold draft near the windows;
-
a decrease in the use of electric baseboard heaters or the main heating system, which is directly reflected in the electricity bill;
-
of a system capable of functioning efficiently during the extreme cold typical of the South Shore.
During the off-season
In spring and autumn, the heat pump takes over almost completely from traditional heating:
-
We use light air conditioning on abnormally hot days;
-
We heat in heat pump mode as soon as the temperature drops in the evening.
All this with significantly reduced energy consumption compared to 100% electric heating.
Sharp Heat Pump Maintenance and Longevity
To maintain optimal performance, we recommend the owner:
-
to clean the wall head filters every month or as needed;
-
to ensure that the outdoor unit remains clear of snow, leaves and debris;
-
to have periodic professional maintenance carried out (inspection, performance test, verification of refrigerant charge and connections).
A well-maintained Sharp wall-mounted heat pump offers many years of reliable service in the climatic conditions of Boucherville and Greater Montreal.
