This cutting-edge unit, known for its incredible energy efficiency and advanced features, is a game-changer for homeowners seeking comfort throughout Quebec’s extreme seasons.
Our mission was clear: to enhance the comfort of this household while ensuring long-term savings on energy bills. From start to finish, this installation was an opportunity to showcase not only the Sharp ZU1’s capabilities but also the unmatched expertise of our AirGreen technicians.
The Star of the Show: The Sharp ZU1 Heat Pump
Power and Efficiency Combined
The Sharp ZU1 mini split is a 12,000 BTU powerhouse designed to handle both heating and cooling with exceptional efficiency. Certified by Energy Star Cold Climate, this unit is ideal for Lachine’s harsh winters, maintaining its heating capacity even at temperatures as low as -27°C. With an impressive 22.0 SEER efficiency rating, this heat pump offers significant energy savings while delivering year-round comfort.
Sustainable Cooling with R-32 Refrigerant
As one of the first systems to use the eco-friendly R-32 refrigerant, the Sharp ZU1 leads the way in sustainability. This innovative refrigerant not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also improves energy efficiency by up to 10% compared to older refrigerants. For homeowners in Lachine, this means a greener footprint and reduced utility bills.
Quiet Yet Powerful
The Sharp ZU1’s whisper-quiet operation is another standout feature. With an interior sound pressure level as low as 23 dB(A) and an exterior level of just 49 dB(A), this unit ensures peace and tranquility while delivering top-notch performance.
The Installation Process: A Story of Precision and Expertise
Site Assessment and Planning
Every installation begins with a thorough assessment of the property. In this Lachine home, we identified the optimal location for the interior and exterior units to maximize airflow and efficiency. The exterior unit was mounted securely on a wall bracket, ensuring stability and proper drainage while blending seamlessly with the home’s aesthetic.
Seamless Installation
Our team installed the Sharp ZU1 with meticulous attention to detail. The interior unit, measuring 34.61 x 9.02 x 11.38 inches, was strategically placed to ensure even temperature distribution throughout the space. The exterior unit, compact at 30.72 x 10.59 x 21.25 inches, was mounted with proper insulation and piping connections to guarantee long-term reliability.
Enhanced Connectivity and Control
The Sharp ZU1 comes equipped with built-in WiFi, allowing homeowners to control the system remotely via a smartphone app. During the installation, we ensured the app was fully set up and explained its features to the customer. From monitoring energy usage to adjusting settings, the app offers unmatched convenience.
