Installation of a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie
Discover a professional installation of a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie. A high-performance, discreet system ideal for Montreal's climate, by AirGreen.

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.
As part of a recent residential project in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , our AirGreen team completed the installation of aSharp wall-mounted heat pump , a particularly suitable choice for the brick buildings typical of this Montreal neighbourhood. This type of dense urban environment demands a precise approach, both technically and aesthetically, and that is exactly what we delivered.
An HVAC system perfectly suited to the urban context of Rosemont
The Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighbourhood is primarily composed of duplexes and small residential buildings with rear balconies, brick facades, and limited access. In this context, the wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split) stands out as an efficient, discreet, and high-performing solution.
For this project, we installed a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump from the Sharp Eco Inverter range, known for its reliability, high energy efficiency and quiet operation.
Technical details of the installed Sharp wall-mounted heat pump
Even when the exact model is not explicitly indicated on the visible plate, the configuration and format of the outdoor unit perfectly match a Sharp ZU1 , a model very common in residential installations in Greater Montreal.
Key features of the Sharp ZU1 system
-
Inverter technology for precise power modulation
-
Efficient operation in heating and air conditioning
-
Excellent performance in Quebec winter conditions
-
Low noise level, ideal for balconies and urban areas
-
Modern refrigerant (R-32), more environmentally friendly
This type of Sharp wall-mounted heat pump is perfectly suited to condos, duplexes and triplexes in Rosemont, where outdoor space is limited but comfort needs are high.
A neat and compliant outdoor installation
In the project photos, several important elements that we always take into account at AirGreen are clearly visible:
-
Outdoor unit installed on a raised aluminum bracket , securely anchored to the balcony
-
Adequate clearance to ensure good air circulation
-
Refrigerated lines protected and properly routed

In a neighbourhood like Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, these details are essential, not only for the performance of the system, but also for the peace of mind of the occupants and neighbours.

How it goes, from the first call to the end
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.

And 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.
