An exemplary installation by AirGreen in the heart of Montreal’s South Shore
At AirGreen , we believe that a high-performance air conditioning and heating system must integrate perfectly with the reality of each home. Recently, our team installed a SHARP CPU Airest 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in a residence located on the South Shore of Montreal , a residential area where thermal comfort and air purification needs are priorities.
This installation is a perfect example of our technical expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to energy efficiency. Let's explore the details of this meticulously and professionally executed project.

A strategic choice: the SHARP CPU Airest heat pump
An all-in-one system: heating, air conditioning and air purification
The SHARP CPU Airest 12,000 BTU is no ordinary heat pump. This model stands out for its Plasmacluster NEXT technology , which releases active ions into the air to neutralize bacteria, viruses, allergens, and unpleasant odors. This unique feature makes it a true air purifier certified according to the JEM1467 standard.
Remarkable energy efficiency
Featuring a SEER2 of 21.0 and a HSPF2 of 10.5 , this heat pump ensures optimal comfort while limiting energy costs. It operates perfectly in heating mode down to -27°C , thanks to the use of R-32 refrigerant — more efficient and environmentally friendly.

Installation process

The installation was carefully planned to maximize airflow while avoiding obstructions . A white vertical trunking elegantly conceals the refrigeration ducts and electrical connections, ensuring a neat and durable finish.
Secure connections and commissioning test
The ducts were insulated and sealed according to current standards, with a watertight electrical protection box . A complete check of the tightness, vacuum and refrigerant level was carried out before commissioning . This was completed with a detailed explanation to the customer regarding the use of the COCORO AIR mobile application, included with the system.
Results and customer satisfaction
The customer was impressed by the quiet operation of the indoor system, which is almost imperceptible in the bedroom. He also noticed a noticeable improvement in indoor air quality , with a significant reduction in odors and better nighttime breathing.
In addition, thanks to smart control via WiFi , the customer can now adjust the temperature remotely or program schedules according to their habits - a major advantage for optimizing energy consumption.
