In Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, many duplexes and triplexes are situated on flat roofs and narrow streets. It is precisely in this type of building that we installed thisSharp wall-mounted heat pump , a high-performance and discreet solution to ensure comfort in both summer and winter, without sacrificing aesthetics or space.
The customer's need: more comfort, less noise
Our client wanted:
-
Replacing a noisy and energy-inefficient portable air conditioner;
-
Enjoy a truly efficient heating system in winter, without being totally dependent on electric baseboard heaters;
-
Install the outdoor equipment discreetly and safely on a flat roof, without transmitting vibrations into the dwelling;
-
Opt for a recognized brand and a certified installation, eligible for various energy efficiency programs.
After analyzing the thermal load and constraints of the building, we recommended a Sharp ZU1 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump , a modern Inverter model perfectly suited to the needs of a well-insulated 4 1/2–5 1/2 type home.
The installed system: a high-performance Sharp wall-mounted heat pump
The chosen solution is based on:
-
Brand: Sharp
-
System type: wall-mounted heat pump (single-zone mini-split)
-
Model: Sharp ZU1, Eco Inverter technology
-
Use: Four-season heating and cooling, with high energy efficiency
Inverter technology allows the compressor's power to be continuously adjusted according to actual demand. The result:
-
fewer temperature variations;
-
quieter operation;
-
reduced electricity consumption;
-
improved component durability.
Sharp's ZU1 series is designed to withstand Quebec winters , with stable heating capacity at low temperatures, while also providing efficient air conditioning during the humid heat waves of July and August.
Outdoor installation details: stability, durability and aesthetics
The photo shows the installed Sharp Eco Inverter outdoor unit:
-
On an elevated aluminum support , itself anchored on treated wooden blocks to distribute the load on the roof membrane;
-
With anti-vibration pads under the feet of the support to limit the transmission of vibrations to the structure;
-
Placed against a protected facade wall and directly sheltered from prevailing winds, this improves the device's performance in heating mode;
-
Positioned at a sufficient height to remain clear of water, accumulated snow and debris;
-
With a lateral clearance respected in relation to the fence and the wall, ensuring good air circulation around the condenser.
This configuration allows:
-
optimal flow of hot air in summer and cold air in winter;
-
a reduction in the risk of ice buildup on the unit;
-
simplified access for maintenance and seasonal checks.
We also paid particular attention to the routing of the refrigerant lines and electrical wiring, all protected in aesthetically pleasing and UV-resistant conduits. The result: a clean installation, well integrated into the building, and easy to inspect.

Inside the dwelling, the Sharp wall-mounted head was installed:
-
In the main living area, at a height allowing for even air distribution ;
-
In order to avoid blowing directly on the occupants, for a gentle and constant comfort;
-
With an adequate slope for condensate drainage, reducing the risk of drips or bad odors.
The indoor unit is controlled via an easy-to-use wall-mounted remote control. The customer can:
-
precisely adjust the desired temperature;
