Installation of a SHARP BU DoubleZone Wall-Mounted Heat Pump in Dorval

A sleek, high-performance, air-purifying solution for optimal comfort in Dorval

At AirGreen, we recently completed the installation of a SHARP BU DoubleZone wall-mounted heat pump in a residence located in the city of Dorval, on the western tip of the Island of Montreal. This project highlights not only our expertise in residential HVAC installation, but also the many benefits of this bi-zone SHARP system, which stands out for its performance, energy efficiency, and exclusive technological innovations like the Plasmacluster system.

A strategic installation to maximize comfort in two separate zones

In this Dorval residence, the layout of the rooms required a solution capable of efficiently heating and cooling two distinct spaces. The SHARP BU DoubleZone heat pump, with its indoor wall-mounted units and its outdoor unit AE-X3M24BU, proved to be the ideal choice. We installed each indoor unit in strategic locations to ensure optimal airflow circulation in the main rooms while respecting the home’s existing structure and aesthetics.

The wall-mounted units, with their sleek design, blend in perfectly with the residential interior without altering the décor. The glossy white finish, curved lines, and whisper-quiet operation all contribute to a calm, healthy, and comfortable environment.

Cutting-edge Japanese technology designed for Quebec homes

The BU series from SHARP is engineered with high-precision Japanese technology, featuring the renowned Plasmacluster ions, exclusive to SHARP. These ions, continuously released into the ambient air, neutralize bacteria, viruses, allergens, mold, and persistent odors, while maintaining exceptional air quality—an invaluable asset for families concerned with respiratory health.

Performance and efficiency tailored for harsh Quebec winters

The AE-X3M24BU outdoor unit, paired with two indoor units (in this case, an AY-XPC12BU and an AY-XPC18BU), is built to withstand our harsh winters. Thanks to SHARP’s patented “HOT GAS PIPE” system, it can maintain a heating capacity of up to 14,600 BTU/h at -27 °C. This is a crucial feature for Dorval and other areas of West Island Montreal, where winter temperatures can plunge well below freezing for extended periods.

The published performance is impressive:

• Heating capacity: up to 26,000 BTU/h

• Cooling capacity: 24,000 BTU/h

• SEER up to 25 / HSPF up to 12

• Eco-friendly R-32 refrigerant, with a low global warming potential

Key technical features of the installed system

Here is a summary of the technical specs of the SHARP BU DoubleZone system installed in Dorval:

Other notable technical features:

• R-32 refrigerant, environmentally friendly

• Heating operating range: -27°C to +24°C

• Wi-Fi smart controls

• Compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa

• Automatic energy-saving mode

Installation challenges

One of the main challenges in this Dorval project was the limited space on a load-bearing wall, close to a window. We carefully planned the placement of the indoor unit to ensure a safe distance from window trims while maximizing airflow throughout the room. Outdoor access also required the use of a lift, as the outdoor unit had to be mounted on a side wall, away from the main entrance, to minimize visual impact.

Thanks to our experience working with residential buildings across the Montreal region, our technicians were able to complete this installation with pinpoint precision while keeping the intervention time short to minimize disruption for the homeowner.
