A discreet and efficient installation, adapted to the needs of a modern home in Pierrefonds
At AirGreen, we know that every HVAC installation project requires a tailored approach, especially when optimizing the comfort of a condo while respecting its interior aesthetics. This is exactly what we achieved when installing a SHARP ZU1 12000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in a residential apartment located in Pierrefonds, a peaceful neighborhood in the west of Montreal.
This installation perfectly illustrates our commitment to careful, quiet, and highly technological work, while ensuring exceptional energy performance, even in winter.
Choosing the SHARP ZU1 model: cutting-edge technology serving well-being
Why did we recommend the SHARP ZU1 12000 BTU?
The choice of a SHARP ZU1 wall-mounted heat pump for this condo was a natural decision thanks to several key features of the model:
-
Cooling capacity: 12,000 BTU/h, ideal for medium-sized rooms.
-
Heating capacity down to -27°C: thanks to SHARP’s certified “extreme cold” technology, the ZU1 delivers consistent performance even in Quebec’s severe cold.
-
Eco-friendly Refrigerant R32: superior energy efficiency, with a 10% reduction in consumption compared to R-410A systems.
-
SEER Rating: 21, ensuring excellent efficiency in cooling mode.
-
HSPF Rating: 12.5 (IV), optimal energy performance in heating mode.
-
Patented Plasmacluster Technology: air purification, elimination of viruses, mold, allergens, and odors.
Technical details of the installation in the Pierrefonds condo
Adaptation to the housing layout
The main challenge in this project was to preserve the interior aesthetics of the condo while ensuring an installation that complies with electrical safety and performance standards. Here are the key details:
-
Mounting wall: the heat pump was installed on a load-bearing wall adjacent to a large bay window, allowing for optimal air distribution in the main living space.
-
Discreet ducts: the refrigerant and electrical ducts were carefully concealed using a flexible white cover matching the wall color.
-
Gravity drainage: a natural slope was maintained to allow optimal condensation drainage.
-
Access to the outdoor unit: the outdoor unit was installed on a protected balcony at the back, thus reducing noise and vibrations inside the dwelling.
Concrete benefits for the client
The condo owner was looking for a discreet, quiet, and efficient system to replace an old portable air conditioner. Here are the immediate benefits observed:
-
Quiet operation: with an indoor noise level as low as 23 dB, the system is practically inaudible, even at full power.
-
Quick comfort: thanks to Inverter technology, the desired temperature is reached in half the time of a conventional device.
-
Purified air quality: Plasmacluster technology ensures continuous purification of the ambient air, essential for sensitive or allergic individuals.
-
Notable energy savings: the client benefits from a significant reduction in their electricity bill, especially in heating mode during winter.
A heat pump eligible for subsidies
The SHARP ZU1 12000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump, installed by AirGreen in Pierrefonds, is eligible for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert subsidy program, subject to certain conditions. This program can offer up to $1,204 for this type of installation.
We assist each client with administrative procedures, making it easier to obtain the subsidy quickly after installation.
Impeccable finish and connected technology
Intuitive remote control and smart options
The device comes with a wall-mounted remote control equipped with a built-in temperature sensor. The owner can manage:
-
Operating modes (heating, cooling, dehumidification).
-
Fan speed.
-
Direction of the louvers (up/down, right/left).
-
Weekly programming.
Although the ZU1 series does not have the advanced motion detection features (reserved for the ZHU series), the Wi-Fi control via the SHARP mobile app offers a highly appreciated remote management comfort.
