A modern and discreet comfort solution for a South Shore residence
At AirGreen, we recently completed a new installation of a SHARP ZU1 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in a bright, well-oriented home located in Delson, on Montréal’s South Shore. This project reflects our commitment to sustainable residential comfort, by integrating advanced Japanese technology into a carefully designed living space.
Installation environment: optimizing space without compromising aesthetics
One of the main challenges in this installation was seamlessly integrating the indoor unit into a high-traffic area, located right next to a patio door opening onto a balcony. The goal: avoid interfering with the sliding curtains while ensuring effective air distribution. Thanks to our experience, we completed a high-mounted wall installation of the heat pump, using a discreet line cover to encase the piping, ensuring a clean and aesthetic finish on the white wall of the room.
Equipment selection: the SHARP ZU1 12,000 BTU, a smart choice for optimal comfort
The model installed, the SHARP ZU1 12,000 BTU, is part of the ZU Series, designed specifically for the harsh climate of Quebec. It stands out for:
-
Its R-32 refrigerant, eco-friendly and efficient, reducing environmental impact by 30% compared to R-410A.
-
A heating range down to -27°C, delivering consistent performance even during Québec’s coldest winter days.
-
Exclusive Plasmacluster technology, which purifies the air by eliminating viruses, allergens, mold, and persistent odors.
-
High energy efficiency, with a SEER of 21/22 and an HSPF of 12.5 / 11, providing significant savings on electricity bills.
-
Whisper-quiet operation (as low as 23 dB in standby mode), ideal for living spaces.
Technical installation: speed, precision, and environmental consideration
Our technicians installed the indoor unit with millimeter precision to optimize the natural drainage of condensation, while complying with all electrical safety codes. The outdoor unit, more compact than average, was strategically placed at the back of the building to allow easy access for annual maintenance, while being protected from snow buildup.
The refrigerant line length did not exceed 5 meters, which optimizes performance and reduces thermal loss. All connections were hermetically sealed and vacuum tested to ensure maximum durability.
Benefits for the client: a smart investment
The homeowner now enjoys:
-
A two-in-one system (heating and cooling) that is compact, discreet, and high-performing.
-
Healthier indoor air, thanks to integrated Plasmacluster technology.
-
Better temperature control in the main living area, with no noise or uncomfortable drafts.
-
Eligibility for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert grant program, with a potential rebate of several hundred dollars.
-
An extended warranty of up to 10 years on parts, compressor, and labor (under certain conditions).

Why the SHARP ZU1 12,000 BTU is a great choice for Delson and the South Shore
With extreme winter temperatures and increasingly hot summers, the Delson area needs reliable and efficient HVAC solutions. The SHARP ZU1, certified to perform efficiently down to -27°C, is a top-tier choice for homes in the region. Plus, its low-power operation in "energy-saving mode" aligns with the growing environmental awareness of Québec households.
Tips for owners of wall-mounted heat pumps
To ensure the longevity and performance of your heat pump:
-
Schedule a full annual maintenance (filter cleaning, pressure check, system disinfection).
-
Keep the outdoor unit clear in winter (remove snow and ice around it).
-
Use automatic mode to let the system adjust its speed based on the actual room temperature.
-
Avoid lowering the temperature too much at night, as it can affect natural regulation and increase energy usage.
