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.
In a neighbourhood like Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , where multi-unit brick buildings are commonplace, the installation of a wall-mounted heat pump requires careful planning. At AirGreen , we recently completed the installation of aSharp wall-mounted heat pump , a choice perfectly suited to this type of Montreal urban environment, offering both year-round comfort and energy efficiency.
A Sharp wall-mounted heat pump designed for the Quebec climate
The installed system is a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump from the Sharp ZU1 series, renowned for its reliability and performance in both heating and cooling. This type of mini wall-mounted split system is particularly popular in the duplexes and apartment buildings of Rosemont, where interior space is precious and where extensive ductwork work is to be avoided.
Thanks to Inverter technology, the heat pump continuously adjusts its power according to the actual needs of the home. The result:
-
stable temperature
-
optimized electricity consumption
-
quieter operation, both indoors and outdoors.
A Sharp model consistent with the residential needs of Rosemont
The Sharp ZU1 perfectly meets the typical needs of the sector:
-
medium-sized apartments,
-
standard ceilings,
-
exterior masonry walls,
-
increased requirements regarding noise and aesthetics.
Operating with R-32 refrigerant , this model meets current environmental standards while offering excellent heating capacity in winter, a crucial point for Montreal residents facing prolonged negative temperatures.
Installation details observed on the project
Several technical elements were taken into account for this specific project in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie:
-
Wall-mounted outdoor unit , securely fixed on galvanized steel supports, with anti-vibration isolators to reduce noise transmission to the brick structure.

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.
