Installation of a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie
In this Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie home, AirGreen installed a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump above the patio door to provide efficient heating in winter and quiet air conditioning in summer, while respecting the aesthetics of the ground floor.

Take a tour of the installation
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.

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.
When this homeowner in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie contacted us, he wanted a more comfortable heating and cooling solution than his electric baseboard heaters , but without losing floor space or sacrificing the aesthetics of his living area. We recommended the installation of aSharp wall-mounted heat pump , a perfect solution for typical homes in the neighborhood with living and dining rooms open onto a patio door.
The project: to modernize the comfort of a typical Rosemont ground floor
The main room opens directly onto a large sliding patio door leading to a glazed extension. In winter, this area was particularly cool; in summer, the sunlight made the space feel heavy and uncomfortable.
Our objectives:
-
Ensuring efficient heating even in the depths of Montreal's coldest weather .
-
Provide quiet air conditioning for the living room and dining area.
-
Integrate the device discreetly and harmoniously into an already furnished setting (furniture, painting, wooden moldings).
-
Reduce your electricity bill by replacing a significant portion of your direct electric heating with a high-efficiency heat pump .
The chosen solution: a new generation Sharp wall-mounted heat pump
We installed a Sharp residential R-32 wall-mounted heat pump , sized to cover the open-concept main floor. This type of mini-split system is ideal for:
-
Townhouses and plexes in Rosemont.
-
Areas where ventilation ducts are to be avoided .
-
Customers who want an excellent comfort/fuel consumption ratio .
The compact, neutrally designed interior module blends seamlessly with the pale walls and wooden frames. Positioned high above the patio door, it optimizes airflow to the living room, dining room, and glazed extension.
Indoor unit positioning: performance and aesthetics
The choice of location is crucial for the performance of a wall-mounted heat pump. In this project, we have:
-
Center the Sharp wall-mounted head above the patio door, at a good distance from the ceiling to allow for optimal air intake .
-
Orient the supply louvers so as to direct the treated air towards the main living area , without blowing directly on the occupants.
-
Respect the necessary clearances for future maintenance (cleaning of filters, inspection of coils, etc.).
Visually, the device is discreet: it fits between a decorative painting and the wooden molding of the patio door, without encroaching on the furniture or passageways.
Refrigerant line routing and condensate drainage
Behind this clean and minimalist installation lies significant technical work:
-
Neat wall penetration : refrigerant lines, communication cable and drainage line pass through the wall to the outside in a single hole, protected by a sleeve and sealed to prevent any air or moisture infiltration.
-
External cable tray : Outside, the pipes are grouped in a rigid, UV-resistant cable tray, matched to the color of the facade to minimize visual impact .
-
Gravity drainage : the condensate pipe is laid with a constant slope to avoid any stagnation of water, an essential point for the durability of the installation and the prevention of odors.
Sharp outdoor unit: discreet and reliable in winter
The Sharp outdoor unit (not visible in the photo) was installed near the patio door, in a location:
-
Sufficiently open to allow good air circulation .
-
Raised on suitable supports to remain above the snow accumulation.
-
Located away from traffic areas, to reduce perceived noise and facilitate snow removal.
Before commissioning, we carried out the following:
-
A nitrogen pressure test to check the tightness of the refrigeration circuit.
-
A thorough vacuuming process to eliminate residual moisture and air.
-
A complete check of the connections, refrigerant charge and electrical protections.
The result: a system ready to face Quebec winters, with stable performance during defrost cycles.
Electrical connection and controls
To power the Sharp heat pump, our partner electricians have:
-
Run a dedicated line from the electrical panel, with a circuit breaker adapted to the power of the appliance.
-
Installed an outdoor circuit breaker (disconnect) near the compressor, in accordance with the Quebec Electrical Code.
The customer now benefits:
-
From an intuitive wall-mounted or portable remote control for everyday use.
-
With adapted operating modes: heating, air conditioning, dehumidification and ventilation.
-
Fine temperature settings, time programming and modulated ventilation for customized comfort .
Everyday comfort: summer and winter in Rosemont
Thanks to this installation, the owner now benefits from:
-
For efficient heating during the biting cold typical of January and February.
-
Gentle and quiet air conditioning during summer heat waves.
-
A substantial reduction in energy consumption , because the heat pump transfers heat instead of producing it solely by electrical resistance.
The location above the patio door also allows for better management of:
-
Solar heat gain from glazed surfaces.
-
The areas that were previously colder near the openings are now uniform thanks to the constant air circulation.

What would it look like at your place?
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.

Your own project, step by step
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.
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.
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.
