A Seamless HVAC Solution for Comfort and Efficiency
Transforming Homes in Saint-Léonard with the SHARP ZHU1 Heat Pump
At AirGreen, we pride ourselves on delivering not just installations but tailored solutions that align with our customers' needs, the environment, and advanced technology. Our recent project in Saint-Léonard showcases the installation of a 12,000 BTU SHARP ZHU1 ductless heat pump—a remarkable choice for year-round climate control. Combining state-of-the-art Japanese innovation, energy efficiency, and exceptional functionality, this system ensures comfort even in Quebec's harsh winters.
Why the SHARP ZHU1 Stands Out
The SHARP ZHU1 heat pump is no ordinary HVAC system. Designed to handle temperatures as low as -27°C, it offers unparalleled energy efficiency with a SEER rating of 25.0. Its use of the eco-friendly R-32 refrigerant not only reduces environmental impact but also optimizes energy consumption. With the inclusion of WiFi connectivity, homeowners can easily monitor and control their system remotely, ensuring ultimate convenience.
Key specifications include:
- Cooling Capacity: 12,000 BTU
- Heating Capacity: 12,000 BTU (-27°C)
- Interior Dimensions: 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 inches
- Exterior Dimensions: 30.72 x 10.59 x 21.25 inches
- Noise Levels: 22-44 dB(A) indoors, 49 dB(A) outdoors
- Warranty: 10 years (Compressor, Parts, and Labor)
This unit is not only Energy Star® certified but also eligible for a $2,268 LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec, the highest rebate available for a 12,000 BTU heat pump.
A Tailored Installation Process
Our team was thrilled to assist a homeowner in Saint-Léonard who sought an efficient and environmentally friendly heating and cooling solution. The unique placement of the property—nestled between two narrow walls—required precision and expertise. Our technicians meticulously planned the installation to ensure the outdoor unit was securely mounted while optimizing airflow and minimizing noise.
The indoor unit was positioned to maximize the Coanda airflow effect, directing air along walls and ceilings to provide even temperature distribution throughout the home. This placement not only enhanced comfort but also utilized the system's Plasmacluster technology to purify the air by eliminating airborne viruses, mold, and odors.
Advanced Features That Make a Difference
Plasmacluster Technology for Cleaner Air
One standout feature of the SHARP ZHU1 is its Plasmacluster ion technology, which mimics natural air purification processes. By releasing positive and negative ions, this system neutralizes harmful airborne particles, ensuring the air inside your home is as fresh as the outdoors.
Coanda Airflow Control
Using the Coanda effect, the SHARP ZHU1 directs air along strategic surfaces to avoid direct drafts while maintaining uniform temperature throughout the space. Whether cooling during summer or heating during winter, this feature ensures ultimate comfort.
Smart Connectivity and Energy Monitoring
With built-in WiFi, homeowners can control their system via a smartphone app. Features like real-time temperature monitoring, energy usage tracking, and motion detection optimize efficiency and convenience. Additionally, the Auto Changeover mode seamlessly switches between heating and cooling based on outdoor temperatures, making seasonal transitions effortless.
Eco-Friendly Innovation
The use of R-32 refrigerant not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also enhances the system's efficiency by approximately 10%. This innovative refrigerant aligns with AirGreen’s commitment to sustainability and helps homeowners reduce their carbon footprint.
Challenges Met with Expertise
The narrow alley in which the outdoor unit was installed posed a unique challenge. Our team utilized specialized mounting brackets to securely position the unit, ensuring optimal performance while maintaining the aesthetic appeal of the property. We also reinforced the piping system with anti-corrosive materials to withstand Quebec’s extreme weather conditions.
The interior unit was mounted in the central living area to provide even airflow across multiple rooms. Thanks to the Multi Space Function, the SHARP ZHU1 distributes air harmoniously across zones, ensuring consistent comfort throughout the home.
