Experience Comfort and Efficiency with Our Latest SHARP ZHU1 Installation
At AirGreen, we take pride in delivering top-tier HVAC solutions across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and the Rive Nord and Sud. Recently, we had the opportunity to install the state-of-the-art SHARP ZHU1 ductless mini split heat pump in a home in Côte Saint-Luc, adding another success story to our portfolio.
About the Project: Transforming Comfort in Côte Saint-Luc
This particular installation was part of our mission to bring cutting-edge HVAC technology to Quebec homes. The SHARP ZHU1, a 12,000 BTU mini split heat pump, was a perfect match for this household. The customer's primary concern was achieving year-round comfort while minimizing their environmental impact and utility costs. With the ZHU1, we delivered on all fronts.
The home presented some challenges, including tight indoor spaces and extreme insulation requirements. However, the compact dimensions of the SHARP ZHU1 indoor unit (41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 inches) and its whisper-quiet operation (as low as 22 dB(A) indoors) made it the ideal choice. Additionally, its energy efficiency rating of 25.0 SEER ensured that our customer would enjoy considerable energy savings without sacrificing performance.
The Machine at a Glance: Cutting-Edge Innovation by SHARP
The SHARP ZHU1 is more than just a heat pump; it's a marvel of modern engineering tailored for Quebec's climate. Here’s what makes it stand out:
- Heating Capacity: Performs exceptionally well even at temperatures as low as -27°C, making it a reliable option for our harsh winters.
- Cooling Capacity: The 12,000 BTU capacity is perfect for maintaining a cool and comfortable indoor environment during summer.
- Refrigerant: The use of R-32 refrigerant reduces greenhouse gas emissions while improving overall energy efficiency.
- Air Purification: Equipped with SHARP’s exclusive Plasmacluster Technology, it actively eliminates airborne bacteria, viruses, and allergens, ensuring clean and healthy air.
Why This Installation is Special
Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert Grant: Maximizing Value for Our Customers
One of the standout features of this installation was its eligibility for the $2,268 LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec. This is the highest grant amount available for any 12,000 BTU heat pump in the program, emphasizing the exceptional energy efficiency of the ZHU1. Our team handled all the paperwork for the grant application, ensuring a seamless process for the homeowner.
Precision Installation with Advanced Techniques
Every AirGreen installation is performed with meticulous care, and this project was no exception. The indoor unit was strategically placed to optimize airflow and ensure uniform temperature distribution. The Coanda Airflow Control feature, unique to SHARP, enhances this by directing air along walls and ceilings, avoiding uncomfortable drafts.
We also installed the outdoor unit (30.72 x 10.59 x 21.25 inches) with careful attention to noise reduction, aided by its low 49.0 dB(A) sound level. The unit’s compact size and anti-corrosion coating ensure durability and unobtrusive placement.
Customer Benefits: More Than Just Comfort
Unparalleled Energy Savings
The inverter technology in the ZHU1 ensures consistent temperature control without the frequent on-off cycling seen in traditional systems. This not only reduces energy consumption but also extends the unit's lifespan.
Real-Time Connectivity
With built-in WiFi and smartphone integration, the homeowner can monitor and adjust the system’s settings remotely. Features like energy usage tracking and motion sensors make it easier than ever to optimize performance and reduce waste.
Healthier Indoor Air
The Plasmacluster Technology was a key selling point for this customer. Its ability to neutralize odors, remove mold, and purify the air significantly enhances indoor air quality, a vital feature for families with allergies or respiratory sensitivities.
Our Commitment to Excellence
At AirGreen, every project reflects our commitment to quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, we ensured that the Côte Saint-Luc homeowner was informed and comfortable with every aspect of the installation.
