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 residential project in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , our AirGreen team installed aSharp wall-mounted heat pump , a choice perfectly suited to Montreal homes where comfort, discretion and energy performance are essential all year round.
An urban neighborhood with very specific needs

In this context, the wall-mounted heat pump stands out as an ideal option: it offers heating and air conditioning without heavy construction work or complex ductwork.

-
its flexibility for installation in confined spaces,
-
its high efficiency in both heating and air conditioning ,
-
Its silent operation, a key criterion in urban environments,
-
the absence of ducts, which limits energy losses.

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.
