This installation not only showcases the impeccable craftsmanship of our team but also highlights the advanced technology of the Sharp ZHU series, designed to perform in temperatures as low as -27°C.
Why the Sharp ZHU 12,000 BTU Heat Pump?
The Sharp ZHU model is one of the most advanced heat pumps on the market, offering superior cooling and heating capacities while being incredibly energy-efficient. For the Pointe-Claire installation, the homeowner was in need of a compact yet powerful system that could keep their home comfortable year-round without compromising energy usage. The 12,000 BTU model was the perfect fit, offering a balance of power and efficiency.
Here’s why the Sharp ZHU stands out:
- Cooling Capacity: 12,000 BTU – ideal for medium-sized rooms, providing rapid cooling even on the hottest days.
- Heating Capacity: With its extreme cold performance, this model delivers exceptional heating even when the outdoor temperature plunges to -27°C.
- Energy Efficiency: With a 25.0 SEER rating, this system is among the most energy-efficient heat pumps available, meaning lower utility bills for our customers.
Perfect Placement for Optimal Performance
The installation site was a cozy family home in Pointe-Claire, where the customer wanted a heat pump that wouldn’t interfere with the aesthetics of their outdoor space. We carefully positioned the Sharp ZHU outdoor unit on a stable metal stand right next to the side of the house, away from the main pathway to minimize any disturbance.
The indoor unit was discreetly installed to provide a seamless appearance in the living room, ensuring that the air circulation reached all corners of the home efficiently. Our installation team ensured the unit’s Coanda Airflow Control was calibrated for optimal air distribution, eliminating drafts and creating uniform temperatures across the room.
Impressive Grants for Energy-Efficient Homes
One of the most exciting aspects of this installation is the generous $2,268 LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec, which is currently the highest grant available for any 12,000 BTU mini split system. This financial incentive made the Sharp ZHU an even more attractive option for the homeowner, significantly reducing the upfront cost while ensuring long-term energy savings.
In addition to the provincial grant, the homeowner also qualified for a federal rebate of $2,500, further emphasizing the importance of choosing an energy-efficient system in today’s environmentally conscious world.
Advanced Technology for Maximum Comfort
At AirGreen, we believe in providing our customers with the latest in HVAC innovation, and the Sharp ZHU series certainly delivers. Here are some of the cutting-edge features that make this model a standout:
Plasmacluster Ion Technology for Healthier Air
The Plasmacluster ion technology in the Sharp ZHU offers superior air purification by mimicking the natural ion processes found in outdoor environments. This feature actively eliminates airborne viruses, mold, and allergens, providing cleaner and healthier indoor air.
Benefits of Plasmacluster technology:
- Eliminates airborne viruses and bacteria
- Reduces mold and allergens
- Neutralizes unpleasant odors and airborne pollutants
Nature-Inspired Fan Blades
One of the unique design elements of the Sharp ZHU series is the nature-inspired fan blades that optimize airflow. The indoor fan blades are designed after dragonfly wings, enhancing airflow by 30%, while the outdoor compressor fan uses a combination of golden eagle and albatross wing designs for more efficient air distribution.
This natural design not only improves air circulation but also reduces energy consumption, making the Sharp ZHU an eco-friendly choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.
Quiet and Powerful
The Sharp ZHU is equipped with WiFi connectivity, giving the homeowner complete control over their heat pump through their smartphone. Additionally, its silent operation is a major plus. The outdoor unit operates at a sound pressure level of 49.0 dB(A), while the indoor unit operates between 22 and 44 dB(A), making it nearly silent, even during peak operation. This feature is perfect for homes in quiet neighborhoods like Pointe-Claire, where peace and tranquility are valued.
Environmental Responsibility with R-32 Refrigerant
Another significant aspect of the Sharp ZHU system is its use of R-32 refrigerant, which has a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared to traditional refrigerants like R-22. This not only makes it more environmentally friendly but also contributes to a 10% reduction in electrical consumption. The Sharp ZHU allows homeowners to enjoy a comfortable home while also doing their part to reduce their carbon footprint.
Reliability in Harsh Climates
With Quebec winters notorious for their harsh conditions, the Sharp ZHU is a trusted solution for reliable heating even in the coldest months. This system continues to heat efficiently down to -27°C, making it one of the few units capable of such extreme performance. Whether it’s the bone-chilling winds of January or the scorching heat of July, the Sharp ZHU offers year-round comfort.
Seamless Integration with Smart Home Systems
The Sharp ZHU is not just about performance—it’s about convenience too. With WiFi integration, homeowners can control the system remotely using their smartphones. Whether you’re at work, on vacation, or just lounging on the couch, the Sharp ZHU gives you full control over the temperature, airflow, and energy usage, ensuring comfort and savings with just a few taps.
Superior Warranty for Peace of Mind
At AirGreen, we back all our installations with comprehensive warranties to give our customers complete peace of mind. The Sharp ZHU 12,000 BTU heat pump comes with an industry-leading 10-10-10 warranty—that’s 10 years on the compressor, 10 years on parts, and 10 years on labor. Additionally, our customers can enjoy an extended warranty at no extra cost, ensuring they’re covered for years to come.
