In the heart of the Plateau-Mont-Royal , AirGreen recently completed the installation of aSharp wall-mounted heat pump in a bright apartment, typical of Montreal buildings where there are large windows, clean walls and a clear need: to obtain stable comfort in all seasons, without weighing down the space or sacrificing aesthetics.
This intervention perfectly illustrates our approach: a discreet, precise and durable installation, designed as much for performance as for quality of finish.
System type: wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split)
The photo shows the wall-mounted indoor unit installed high up, near the ceiling. This is the most common configuration in residential settings in Montreal, particularly in dense areas like the Plateau, because it offers:
-
excellent air distribution in the main room;
-
a quick response in air conditioning in the summer (immediate comfort);
-
an efficient supply of heating during the fall, spring and a good part of the winter, depending on the capacity and envelope of the building;
-
optimized consumption thanks to Inverter technology (modulation rather than on/off).
Brand and model: Sharp , Sharp ZU1 series (consistent with the installed format)
The brand is Sharp (as supplied), and the indoor unit's size is a perfect match for a Sharp ZU1 system, renowned for its balance of efficiency, acoustic comfort, and reliability. It's a logical choice for urban living: you want a system that's efficient, quiet, and durable.
Key installation details (what is visible and what it implies)
1) High positioning, between the openings
The unit was placed above the window area , maintaining clearance under the ceiling. This choice is never arbitrary: it aims to promote efficient air circulation without disrupting the layout (library, living room, circulation).
2) Clean visual integration
In a Plateau apartment, the goal is to create an installation that "goes unnoticed". Our objective is to maintain a clean, finished look:
-
routing of the connections (refrigerant + cable) planned to remain discreet;
-
careful alignment of the wall unit;
-
condensation drain management to avoid any risk of dripping or misdirected flow.
3) Working at height and assembly precision
Note the stepladder: installing a wall-mounted head requires a solid, perfectly level fixing. At AirGreen, we pay particular attention to:
-
the quality of anchoring (structure behind the gypsum, plate support);
-
compliance with the clearances recommended by the manufacturer;
-
checking drainage and slopes;
-
operational tests (ventilation, flap orientation, temperature stability).
Why this type of installation is ideal in Plateau-Mont-Royal
The Plateau often combines:
-
open rooms where a single unit can cover a large living area;
-
variable comfort needs (direct sunlight, large windows, temperature variations);
-
a search for energy efficiency without major construction work.
A Sharp wall-mounted heat pump is very well suited to this context: it ensures constant comfort while being economical, and it helps to improve the quality of life on a daily basis — especially during periods of hot and humid weather in the summer and colder nights in the mid-season.
Our AirGreen approach: performance, silence, and long-term reliability
A successful installation isn't just about "setting up a machine." It's also about:
-
choose a logical positioning to avoid dead zones and drafts;
-
secure the drainage (often the most neglected point elsewhere);
-
maintain a clean and durable finish;
-
optimize the settings so that the customer really benefits from their system (modes, speeds, orientations, best practices).
In the end, the client gets a comfortable, discreet and efficient system, perfectly suited to the reality of a Montreal home.
Conclusion
This installation of a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split type) in Plateau-Mont-Royal demonstrates what AirGreen strives for: seamless integration, year-round performance, and professional execution down to the smallest detail. A project that appears simple—but one that demands true expertise to deliver a clean, reliable, and long-lasting result.
