A Cutting-Edge Solution for Montréal’s Harsh Climate
When it comes to reliable, energy-efficient, and environmentally conscious HVAC systems, the SHARP ZHU1 series stands out as a top-tier choice. At AirGreen, we’re proud to showcase our latest installation of a 12,000 BTU SHARP ZHU1 wall-mounted heat pump in the heart of Montréal. This advanced mini split system offers unmatched performance, making it ideal for Québec’s extreme winters and humid summers. Let’s delve into the details of this project and explore why this model is an exceptional addition to any home.
Project Location and Highlights
Situated on a residential rooftop in Montréal, this installation posed unique challenges due to its location. Our expert technicians carefully mounted the SHARP ZHU1 exterior unit on a raised, durable platform to ensure optimal drainage, airflow, and protection against heavy snow during Québec’s winter months. The sleek and compact interior unit was installed to blend seamlessly with the home’s decor while ensuring maximum efficiency in heating and cooling.
Here are the key specifications of the system installed:
- Cooling Capacity: 12,000 BTU
- Heating Capacity: Operates efficiently at temperatures as low as -27°C
- Refrigerant: Environmentally friendly R-32
- Energy Efficiency Rating: 25.0 SEER
- Noise Levels: Whisper-quiet operation at 22 dB(A) indoors
- WiFi Connectivity: Included for seamless control via smartphone
The SHARP ZHU1: A Perfect Fit for Montréal Homes
Outstanding Energy Efficiency
One of the standout features of the SHARP ZHU1 is its exceptional energy efficiency, certified by Energy Star® and tailored for cold climates. With its inverter technology, the system continuously adjusts its operation to meet the exact heating or cooling demands of the space, reducing energy consumption and ensuring comfort. Homeowners can enjoy year-round comfort while keeping their utility bills in check.
Environmentally Responsible Cooling and Heating
This model uses R-32 refrigerant, a cutting-edge solution that significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Compared to traditional refrigerants like R-22, R-32 has a much lower global warming potential, making the SHARP ZHU1 a sustainable choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.
Superior Air Purification with Plasmacluster Technology
Beyond temperature control, the SHARP ZHU1 offers Plasmacluster air purification technology, which actively neutralizes airborne viruses, mold, allergens, and odors. This ensures that the indoor air remains fresh, clean, and healthy—a crucial feature for families and individuals with respiratory sensitivities.
Unique Features of the SHARP ZHU1 Heat Pump
Nature-Inspired Design for Enhanced Performance
The SHARP ZHU1 incorporates Nature Wing fan blades, inspired by the aerodynamic shapes of dragonfly wings and bird wings. These innovative designs improve airflow efficiency by up to 30%, ensuring powerful yet energy-efficient performance. Whether heating during a Montréal winter or cooling in the summer, this design ensures optimal performance.
COANDA Airflow Control for Even Temperature Distribution
The system leverages COANDA airflow technology to distribute air uniformly across the room. By directing airflow along walls and ceilings, it eliminates uncomfortable drafts and ensures consistent temperatures throughout the space. This feature is particularly beneficial for larger rooms or open-concept homes.
Smart Connectivity for Modern Living
The integrated WiFi module allows homeowners to control their system remotely through a smartphone app. Features such as real-time energy usage tracking, motion detection, and remote temperature adjustments make managing home comfort effortless and efficient.
