In Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, red brick plexes are part of the landscape. In this vibrant neighbourhood where winters are harsh and summers increasingly hot, our clients were looking for a heating and air conditioning solution that was efficient, discreet and energy-saving.
We recommended they install a new generation Sharp wall-mounted heat pump , with an Eco Inverter outdoor unit and Ion Plasmacluster technology, perfectly suited to the Montreal climate.
Project context in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie
The building is a typical brick residential building with a concrete base slightly raised above sidewalk level. The owners wanted:
-
Improve comfort in summer as well as winter;
-
Reduce electricity bills compared to old electric convectors;
-
Enjoy a silent system that does not disturb their peace or that of the neighborhood;
-
Opt for a clean, reliable and sustainable solution, compatible with energy efficiency programs.
The Sharp wall-mounted heat pump , in a single-zone configuration, perfectly met these requirements.
The Sharp wall-mounted heat pump: performance and reliability
The Sharp Eco Inverter range is distinguished by:
-
A variable speed inverter compressor, which continuously adapts the power supplied;
-
Excellent energy efficiency, particularly beneficial in the mid-season;
-
Reliable operating capability in Quebec winters, with efficient heating down to well below freezing temperatures;
-
Ion Plasmacluster technology, which improves air quality by reducing certain particles and allergens.
In this project, we installed a Sharp Eco Inverter wall-mounted outdoor unit, sized to cover the main living area (living room, dining room, and open-plan kitchen). The sizing was determined taking into account:
-
Of the actual surface area of the rooms;
-
From the existing insulation of the brick plex;
-
Regarding window orientation and solar gain;
-
Occupancy habits of the occupants.
Details of the outdoor installation
The photo clearly shows the Sharp outdoor unit attached to the brick rear facade. Several technical choices were made to guarantee performance, durability, and aesthetics.
1. Wall mounting on raised supports
The unit is installed on sturdy wall brackets securely anchored to the wall:
-
Height calculated to keep the device above the snow in winter, while remaining accessible for maintenance;
-
Clearance distances respected to ensure good air circulation around the device;
-
Optimized tilt and positioning to promote condensate drainage and avoid vibrations.
This configuration prevents the accumulation of snow and ice around the condenser and facilitates service operations.
2. Protection of the building envelope and integration with the facade
The red and brown brick facade is typical of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie. We paid particular attention to visual integration:
-
Minimal and carefully sealed perforations;
-
Passing of refrigeration lines and cables through aesthetic conduits (casing) for a clean finish;
-
Respect for the existing structure: no unnecessary overloading of the masonry.
The result: a well-integrated outdoor unit that blends into the facade without cluttering it.
3. Noise and Neighborhood Management
Sharp Eco Inverter heat pumps are known for their low noise level :
-
The fan and compressor are designed to limit noise in low and medium speed mode;
-
The positioning was chosen to direct noise and airflow away from neighboring windows ;
-
Wall mounting with silent blocks reduces vibrations transmitted to the structure.
Neighbors therefore benefit from a quiet environment, even on the hottest days of summer.
Indoor installation details (wall unit)
Even though the indoor unit is not visible in the photo, its location has been carefully planned:
-
High installation on a clear wall in the living/dining room , for uniform air distribution;
-
Positioning that avoids blowing directly on the occupants;
-
Discreet routing of refrigeration lines to the outside, behind the unit, to minimize visual impact.
The combination of indoor wall unit and Sharp Eco Inverter outdoor unit allows for very precise temperature control :
-
Efficient heating mode in winter, even during intense cold;
-
Comfortable air conditioning mode in summer, without unpleasant drafts;
-
Dehumidification mode is convenient for hot and humid days.
Four-season comfort in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie
With this Sharp wall-mounted heat pump, the family now benefits from:
-
Stable and comfortable heating throughout the winter, without sudden temperature variations;
-
Efficient air conditioning during heat waves, keeping the house cool while controlling electricity consumption;
-
Healthier indoor air thanks to Ion Plasmacluster technology;
-
A discreet, silent and aesthetically pleasing solution for both indoor and outdoor use.
The system also helps to reduce reliance on less efficient traditional electrical systems, resulting in medium and long-term energy savings .
