  1. 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.

  2. The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.

  3. Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.

  4. A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.

  5. The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.

  6. On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.

  7. The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.

A careful installation for lasting comfort in a Laval duplex

At AirGreen , we recently installed a Sharp Eco Inverter wall-mounted heat pump in a duplex in the Chomedey area of ​​Laval . This residential neighborhood perfectly combines comfortable living and proximity to services, making it an ideal location for energy modernization projects. Our client wanted an energy-efficient and quiet system that could maintain a stable temperature throughout the year, even during harsh Quebec winters.

Choosing the Sharp Eco Inverter model

The Sharp Eco Inverter is a high-performance wall-mounted heat pump that uses Plasmacluster Ion technology to purify the ambient air while ensuring efficient heating and cooling. Thanks to its frequency-reversing compressor (inverter) , this model automatically adjusts its power according to demand, thus optimizing electricity consumption.

Key benefits of this model include:

  • High energy efficiency , reducing electricity bill;

  • Quiet operation , ideal for urban environments;

  • Plasmacluster air purification technology , contributing to a healthier indoor environment;

  • Operating capacity down to −25°C , perfectly suited to the climate of Greater Montreal.

Technical details of the installation

For this installation, our team secured the outdoor unit to a side brick wall using sturdy galvanized steel brackets , ensuring long-term stability. The unit is mounted at a safe height above the ground, preventing snow buildup and promoting good airflow around the compressor.

The refrigeration pipes and electrical wiring have been carefully protected by discreet beige capping , ensuring a clean and durable finish. Condensate is drained by gravity , avoiding the need for an additional pump and thus reducing the risk of future maintenance.

A residential environment typical of Greater Montreal

The Chomedey duplex features a classic Laval neighborhood setting: exterior metal stairs, red brick facades, and semi-open spaces . This type of architecture often requires a compact and discreet installation , without compromising the aesthetics of the property. Thanks to the compactness of the Sharp heat pump , we were able to install the unit without obstructing passageways or compromising the strength of the structure.

A performance and sustainability-oriented approach

Each AirGreen installation is based on three principles: efficiency, safety and sustainability .

  • Prior to installation, we performed a heat load assessment to confirm the required capacity (BTU) for this home.

  • The electrical wiring was connected to a dedicated and protected power supply , in accordance with the standards of the Canadian Electrical Code.

  • The orientation of the unit was chosen to minimize direct exposure to sun and wind , extending the life of the compressor.

Energy savings and possible subsidies

Sharp Eco Inverter heat pumps are among the models eligible for Hydro-Québec and Quebec government grant programs , particularly through Rénoclimat . This financial assistance allows Laval homeowners to recoup their investment more quickly while reducing their carbon footprint.

Customer satisfaction guaranteed by AirGreen

The owner of the duplex highlighted the speed and cleanliness of our intervention. In just one day, his air conditioning and heating system was fully operational , providing immediate comfort and a significant reduction in ambient noise compared to his previous unit.

At AirGreen, we support our customers every step of the way: from model selection and installation planning to maintenance advice and after-sales support . This personalized approach ensures optimal performance and lasting peace of mind.

Conclusion

This Sharp Eco Inverter wall-mounted heat pump installation in Chomedey, Laval , perfectly illustrates our commitment to providing reliable, aesthetically pleasing HVAC solutions tailored to local needs . Thanks to precise workmanship and proven technology, our client now enjoys superior comfort in all seasons—all with a reduced energy footprint.

The steps

How it goes, from the first call to the end

The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.

Step 1 of 9The on-site estimate

We look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.

  1. The on-site estimateWe look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
  2. The quoteModel, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
  3. Getting readyFloors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
  4. The wall openingA single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
  5. The outdoor unitSet on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
  6. Lines, cable and drainConnected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
  7. The electrical workA dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
  8. Tests and start-upLeak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
  9. The walkthroughRemote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.
Your numbers

And at your place?

Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.

Size checkYour baseboards, in BTU/h
–BTU/h of installed electric heat

    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.

    Through the seasons

    What to do, season by season

    Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.

    • Clean the indoor unit's filters.
    • Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
    • Test cooling before the first hot days.

    Frequently asked questions

    What people ask us about this kind of work

    12 questions
    Does a wall-mounted heat pump heat in winter?
    Yes, it heats and cools. Its capacity drops in very cold weather; the operating range depends on the model and is listed on its spec sheet.
    Wall-mounted or multi-zone: how do I choose?
    One wall head and one condenser outside: the direct solution for a room or an open area. For two to five rooms, a multi-zone puts one head in each room on a single condenser.
    Where does the outdoor unit go?
    Where it stays above the snow, clear and accessible, away from walkways. We decide it with you during the estimate.
    Are there grants?
    Depending on the model and your situation, assistance programs may apply, including Hydro-Québec's LogisVert. AirGreen checks the model number before quoting an amount. See the grants.
    Do I need a permit?
    Rules vary from city to city: location, distances, noise. See permits and by-laws, and we check for your address.
    How cold can it heat?
    It depends on the model. According to Hydro-Québec, newer models work down to a temperature between −15 °C and −25 °C, and some cold-climate models are certified lower. The minimum temperature is on each unit's spec sheet.
    How much can I save?
    Hydro-Québec says a heat pump can be up to three times more efficient than baseboards for heating in the colder months. The result depends on the house, the climate and how it is used.
    How is the LogisVert assistance calculated?
    For ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified heat pumps, Hydro-Québec lists assistance of $120 per 1,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at −8 °C. AirGreen checks the exact model before quoting an amount; only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted. See the grants.
    Is it noisy?
    The sound level depends on the model and is listed in decibels on each unit's spec sheet. Location matters too: when possible, we avoid putting the outdoor unit under a bedroom window.
    The outdoor unit is covered in ice: is that normal?
    Some frost is: the unit runs defrost cycles. Never hit the ice. If the unit stays iced up or stops heating, call us.
    Does AirGreen hold the required licences?
    Yes. AirGreen holds RBQ licence 5645-9605-01, subclasses 15.8 Ventilation, 15.10 Refrigeration and 16 Electricity.
    Is the estimate free?
    Yes. The on-site estimate is free and the quote follows within 24 hours. Book my free estimate.
