The Pinnacle of Energy Efficiency and Comfort in Laval: Our Latest Sharp ZHU Installation
At AirGreen, we’re dedicated to bringing the latest in HVAC technology to homes across Laval and the greater Montreal area. Our most recent project highlights exactly why we stand out as a trusted HVAC provider in the region. We recently installed a 12,000 BTU Sharp ZHU Wall-Mounted Heat Pump in a beautiful Laval home, and we couldn’t be more excited to share the details of this installation. From superior energy efficiency to cutting-edge features like Plasmacluster air purification and Coanda airflow control, this system truly represents the best of what modern HVAC technology has to offer.
A Reliable HVAC Solution for Laval's Harsh Winters
When you live in Quebec, you know how extreme the weather can be. From hot, humid summers to freezing, snowy winters, your home’s HVAC system needs to be adaptable and durable. That’s why the Sharp ZHU Heat Pump was the perfect choice for this Laval home. This model boasts 12,000 BTUs of cooling power and can continue to heat even at temperatures as low as -27°C. That’s right—when most heat pumps are struggling to operate at -15°C, this machine powers through, ensuring that the home stays warm even in the most frigid conditions.
Superior Efficiency with Cutting-Edge R-32 Refrigerant
One of the key reasons we love working with Sharp ZHU models is their commitment to both energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. This unit uses the R-32 refrigerant, a newer refrigerant that boasts 10% lower electrical consumption and has a significantly reduced environmental impact compared to older systems using R-22 or even R-410A. Not only does this refrigerant help reduce the home’s carbon footprint, but it also results in lower energy bills for the homeowner—an advantage that’s hard to overlook.
In addition, the Sharp ZHU series has achieved an impressive 25.0 SEER rating, meaning it’s one of the most energy-efficient systems available today. This efficiency is further enhanced by inverter technology, which allows the heat pump to regulate energy consumption and airflow more effectively than traditional models. It’s a perfect match for homeowners looking to reduce their environmental impact while still enjoying superior indoor comfort.
Maximizing Comfort with Nature-Inspired Fan Blades and Coanda Airflow Control
The Sharp ZHU heat pump doesn’t just keep the home at the perfect temperature—it also ensures optimal airflow throughout the space. Sharp’s innovative Nature Wing technology in the fan blades improves airflow by 30%, thanks to blades designed based on the shape of dragonfly wings for the indoor unit and a combination of golden eagle and albatross wings for the outdoor unit. This nature-inspired design isn’t just about aesthetics—it translates directly to improved efficiency and quieter operation, with a sound pressure level as low as 22 dB indoors, ensuring a peaceful home environment.
Further enhancing comfort is Coanda airflow control. This system directs air along walls and ceilings, allowing it to spread more naturally throughout the room. For homeowners in Laval, this means there’s no more worrying about cold spots in certain rooms or areas that get too hot. The ZHU series makes sure the entire home is heated or cooled evenly, creating a more comfortable living space regardless of the season.
Healthy Air with Plasmacluster Technology
At AirGreen, we don’t just prioritize temperature control—we also focus on air quality. The Sharp ZHU is equipped with Plasmacluster technology, which purifies the air by neutralizing airborne viruses, bacteria, mold, and allergens. This is a game-changer for homes in Laval, where indoor air quality can be impacted by a range of factors from allergens to everyday pollutants. With Plasmacluster, you’re not just heating or cooling your home—you’re actively improving the health and well-being of your family.
WiFi Connectivity for Effortless Control
Modern HVAC systems should be as easy to use as they are efficient, and the Sharp ZHU excels here as well. This unit comes equipped with built-in WiFi, allowing the homeowner to control the heat pump from anywhere using their smartphone. Whether they’re at work, on vacation, or just sitting in another room, adjusting the temperature or setting timers is a breeze with the Sharp app. Plus, real-time notifications ensure they’re always aware of the system’s status, from energy usage to room occupancy—offering unmatched convenience.
A Grant Worth Noticing: Up to $2,268 from Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert Program
One of the standout features of this particular installation in Laval is that the Sharp ZHU 12,000 BTU heat pump is eligible for the highest grant available for a mini-split system through Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert Program. That’s right—this system qualifies for a $2,268 grant, making it a fantastic investment for homeowners looking to upgrade their HVAC system with financial support.
In addition to the provincial grant, this unit is also eligible for federal grants, which can reach up to $5,000, depending on specific eligibility criteria. Between the exceptional energy savings and the available government grants, this homeowner will see a substantial return on investment in no time.
