Installation of a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump in Verdun

In Verdun, many condos and apartments have been designed to maximize every square inch. Utility spaces (laundry, storage, closets) are often grouped together in small, closed cupboards. In this project, our mission at AirGreen was clear: to integrate a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump into a Verdun condo, respecting these space constraints while providing year-round comfort.

Context: Air conditioning and heating without encroaching on living space

The client lives in a modern condo in Verdun, with:

• A laundry closet combining washer-dryer and storage.

• Very few free walls in the main living area.

• A priority: to achieve stable comfort in summer as in winter , without multiplying devices or visible wires.

We suggested installing a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump positioned above the laundry room's sliding doors. This positioning allows for:

• To free up the walls of the living room and bedroom , often occupied by furniture.

• To provide efficient air distribution to the adjacent open area.

• To keep the unit discreet, integrated into the interior architecture.

System type: Sharp R-32 wall-mounted heat pump

The installed unit is a Sharp brand wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split) , using R-32 refrigerant classified A2L . This choice reflects the new generation of more efficient and environmentally friendly systems.

System features:

• Brand: Sharp

• Type: Wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split)

• Model: Sharp ZU1 R-32, 12,000 BTU (ideal configuration for a capacitor of this size)

• Refrigerant: R-32 A2L, with low environmental impact

This ZU1 model offers an excellent compromise between compactness, silence and performance , particularly suitable for condos where the indoor unit is located close to living and sleeping areas.

A neat interior integration above the laundry room

The photo clearly shows:

• The Sharp wall-mounted head is installed at the very top of the wall, near the ceiling.

• Just below, the sliding doors of the laundry room with integrated washer and dryer.

This type of installation requires precise planning:

1. Height and clearances
   The unit is positioned high enough to allow the blown air to descend and distribute itself throughout the room, while respecting the clearances recommended by Sharp above the casing.

2. Access for maintenance
   Despite the proximity of the ceiling, the unit remains accessible for:

   • Cleaning the filters ;

   • Basic checks (indicators, shutters, sensors);

   • Maintenance interventions.

3. Visual discretion
   The heat pump follows the ceiling line and blends in with the white walls. Once the laundry room doors are closed, the unit disappears into the decor and doesn't visually clutter the space.

Performance and comfort in a Verdun condo

This typical Verdun condo now benefits from:

• Rapid air conditioning during summer heat waves;

• Efficient heating from the mid-season onwards, allowing for a reduction in the use of electric baseboard heaters;

• With quiet operation , ideal when the laundry room is located near the bedroom or home office.

Sharp's technology enables:

• Precise temperature regulation , with fine control of ventilation speeds;

• Various operating modes (heating, air conditioning, dehumidification, ventilation only);

• A night mode that reduces noise and temperature variations for a comfortable sleep.

Choosing R-32 A2L: a heat pump designed for the future

The marking A2L , indicating the use of R-32 refrigerant , is clearly visible on the indoor unit. This refrigerant offers several advantages:

• Reduced global warming potential compared to R-410A;

• Better energy efficiency , therefore lower electricity bills for the customer;

• A system designed to last, while respecting current environmental guidelines.

At AirGreen, we have mastered the specific standards for A2L refrigerants (R-32, R-454B, etc.), which guarantees a safe installation, in accordance with the rules in force in Quebec.

An installation designed for everyday use

Beyond the technical aspects, we also took everyday life into account:

• The laundry room remains fully functional : the unit does not obstruct the opening of the doors, nor the use of the washer-dryer.

• The customer can ventilate the laundry room as needed, without disrupting the operation of the heat pump.

• The supply zone is directed towards the main room, which allows the living space to be cooled or heated uniformly .

The result: a virtually invisible system, but whose comfort is felt as soon as you enter the condo.
